Myazina. The name translates to &#8220;Dwarf Nose,&#8221; referencing the tiny pointed beak (nose) on the blossom end of the fruit.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf3f <strong>Plant Habit:<\/strong> Determinate (dwarf). The seed packet notoriously claims it is the &#8220;brother of the Mongolian Dwarf&#8221; and has a sprawling, creeping habit. However, growers universally report that it grows upright as a standard, sturdy dwarf\/tree-type plant, reaching about 20 to 39 inches (50-100 cm). No pruning or suckering is needed! Perfect for pots and open ground.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf45 <strong>Fruit Characteristics:<\/strong> Small, slightly oval, bright red tomatoes weighing 1 to 2.8 oz (30-80 g). They have a distinct little point (nose) on the bottom. The walls are thick, but the interior remains juicy.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Flavor &amp; Use:<\/strong> Very sweet and pleasant, far better than store-bought. Because it produces heavily and early, it&#8217;s great for early fresh eating, but its thick walls make it an absolute champion for canning in small jars.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"add-review-cta\" style=\"margin: 20px 0; padding: 15px; background: #f9f9f9; border-left: 4px solid #4CAF50; border-radius: 4px;\"><strong>\ud83c\udf45 Grown this variety?<\/strong> <a href=\"#wpdcom\">Click here to add your own photos and review below!<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">S<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Svetikk (Svetlana) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (29,384 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Moscow Region, Stupino District (USDA Zone 4)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Karlik Nos (Dwarf Nose). I bought the seeds for a high price, 100 rubles for 5 seeds, from L. Myazina, here is what the packet looked like: [link]<\/p>\n<p>The description on the packet claims it is &#8220;the brother of Mongolian Dwarf, a sprawling\/creeping type bush,&#8221; but as a seedling, it just looked like a standard, fairly tall plant. Otherwise, it matches the description; it&#8217;s early, you don&#8217;t need to prune the suckers, it forms a ton of flower trusses, and sets fruit well and quickly. I grew it in a pot, the bush reached about 20 to 24 inches (50-60 cm) and was completely showered in slightly oval red fruits weighing 1 to 1.8 oz (30-50 g). They were very tasty and sweet. Some fruits had a barely noticeable little nose.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s ideal for early fresh eating and for canning, especially in small jars. The texture reminds me of a mini version of the Slavyanka variety &#8211; thick walls, but the fruit itself is juicy and sweet. An excellent early variety! \ud83d\udc4d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_09\/DSCN3416.JPG.720f2aff20e544e8441cb9eee9411a6a.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_09\/DSCN3416.thumb.JPG.a98b2c8319e8bc6e440d6d6074278f43.JPG\" alt=\"Karlik Nos Dwarf Nose tomatoes ripening in a pot\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_09\/DSCN3413.JPG.c75a0f9019929ee7c4c2a39ba9a7af0a.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_09\/DSCN3413.thumb.JPG.35cae2523ec6314be72c6d884596699f.JPG\" alt=\"Heavy fruit set on small dwarf plant\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_09\/DSCN2430.JPG.0429852ac5bb7214a07f2789fb1fe240.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_09\/DSCN2430.thumb.JPG.15b2d5e921faba1e0ad9cee494d7c78f.JPG\" alt=\"Harvested Karlik Nos tomatoes\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_09\/DSCN2426.JPG.f17b27f019a459f738693a0498345356.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_09\/DSCN2426.thumb.JPG.a800d9da85f90358b6c464b3605bb9e1.JPG\" alt=\"Small red oval tomatoes with a tiny point\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_09\/628664637_.jpg.a7174817437f3f7df118b8114a795f42.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_09\/282188596_.thumb.jpg.ab209e20acddce4a98ea7ac9ccaad631.jpg\" alt=\"Seed packet for Karlik Nos tomato\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">I<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Inn@ (Inna) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (6,399 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Arti, Sverdlovsk Region (USDA Zone 3)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<blockquote><p>Karlik Nos.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Sveta, how adorable!
