\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Krasa Dlinnaya Kosa (which translates to “Beauty With a Long Braid”) is an extremely vigorous, indeterminate<\/strong> red cherry tomato sold by the Russian seed company Biotekhnika<\/strong>. It is famous for its massive, double fan-shaped blossom clusters that produce a heavy yield of sweet, good-sized cherry tomatoes. It thrives outdoors and handles growing in multiple stems very well.

A beautiful and productive variety of red cherries, seeds from Biotekhnika. Indeterminate, grew outdoors right by the gazebo. I pruned the suckers only up to the first flower cluster, and then just partially after that. At the end of the season, I topped the vines and pinched off the young suckers.<\/p>\n

The trusses turned out to be double fan-shaped and quite long, but I snipped the ends of the trusses off because the fruits weren’t setting there. It probably just didn’t have enough energy on that tiny patch of dirt, I really should have kept fewer stems. I ended up with probably 7-8 stems, plus it was growing right next to a massive Geranium Kiss<\/a> plant and a decorative grape vine.<\/p>\n

But I’m still very happy with the result, it looked beautiful, and the fruits are sweet and plentiful.<\/p>\n

I really liked these cherries too. I also couldn’t keep up with pruning them, so they just grew however they wanted. I was thrilled with the harvest and liked that they aren’t pea-sized. Unfortunately, I don’t have a photo. The taste is good.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
