\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Red General (Krasnyi General) is a heavy-yielding indeterminate<\/strong> variety that produces large, glossy red tomatoes weighing up to 14 oz (400 g). Known among growers as an absolute workhorse, it boasts a classic, rich tomato flavor. While some seed lines produce oblate (flat-round) beefsteaks, other strains throw large, blunt oxhearts on taller, more vigorous vines. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

A really great workhorse variety, very productive. It’s a fairly short indet, grew it in the greenhouse pruned to two leaders. The fruits are glossy red oblate slicers with a good classic flavor, getting up to 14 oz (400 g). Seeds from V. Redko. I planted it right next to Brave General (the pink one).<\/p>\n

And my Red General came from Marina (Gatchina). The vine is also very vigorous, hit about 6.5 ft (2 m). The variety is productive, but my fruits are round, or honestly more like blunt hearts.<\/p>\n
