\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Kemerovets is a tough, cold-tolerant determinate<\/strong> tomato from Western Siberia. It produces firm, small red oxhearts weighing around 3.5-5.3 oz (100-150 g). Growers report excellent disease resistance and great performance both for fresh eating and canning. While the seed packet boasts up to 100 fruits per plant, forum members note that real-world yields, though excellent, might be slightly more modest. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Packet description:<\/strong> The fruits look like a small oxheart with a pointed tip, weighing 3.5-5 oz (100-150 g). Very firm and great keepers. The variety is cold-tolerant, late blight resistant, and depending on your growing conditions and soil fertility, one plant can set up to 100 fruits. The variety was acclimated for the West Siberian region, meant for growing outdoors and in hoop houses.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Is it even edible?? \ud83d\ude04<\/p>\n

Or is it just for show, so you can stare at 100 tomatoes on a single plant?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Nobody’s actually gotten that many tomatoes off one plant yet (you know how those seed packets exaggerate…)<\/p>\n

But yeah, you can eat it. Nothing to write home about though.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I actually really loved the flavor on these \ud83d\ude0b \ud83d\udc4d. Great for fresh eating and awesome for canning \ud83d\udc4d. The fresh ones are nice and firm but not rock hard, pretty meaty, and they have that proper old-school tomato flavor with a nice little sweet kick. I grew this one back in 2012. Yields were outstanding \ud83d\ude4c. And what really matters to me is that it’s pretty bulletproof against the usual foliage crud.<\/p>\n

Reminds me a lot of Nastenka and Canopus. Actually, it looks a bit like Elegantny too \ud83d\ude33.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
