\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Krupnaya Grozd (Large Cluster) is an indeterminate<\/strong>, mid-season red oxheart tomato originating from Eastern Europe. It produces heavy yields of large, meaty, heart-shaped fruits that average around 12 oz (350 g), though some vendor descriptions claim they can reach over 2 lbs (1 kg). Growers appreciate its solid production and great late-summer flavor, but note it may need extra potassium to prevent yellow shoulders in intense heat. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Mid-season indeterminate variety, reached about 5.5 feet (1.7 m) tall in the greenhouse. The yield is very good. Fruits are heart-shaped, meaty, with very few seeds, weighing up to 12.3 oz (350 g) (though the description claimed up to 2.2 lbs \/ 1 kg), beautiful, and bright red. At first, I didn’t care for the taste, but towards the end of summer, the flavor of these tomatoes got really good. A very low-maintenance variety.<\/p>\n

Good afternoon!!! This year I bought Krupnaya Grozd tomato seeds online from a private seller. Could you tell me how many stems I should prune it to, and how many blossom clusters would you recommend leaving on this specific variety? There is just so little info about this tomato on the internet.<\/p>\n

Good afternoon! I’d say prune it to NO MORE than 2 stems, because the fruits get very large. As for the clusters… I would just leave as many as it sets, I don’t thin out my clusters. My seeds were from Alexey Kulik (Ukraine).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Finally got around to growing this variety. I liked it, the flesh is delicious. Make sure to give it potassium feedings, as it can get yellow shoulders from intense sunlight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
