Cold-tolerant, sets fruit well under poor conditions. Determinate plants, up to 20 inches (50 cm) tall. Requires no pruning, pinching, or staking. Fruits are round, smooth, red, weighing 3.5 oz (100 g), highly uniform (100% marketable). The variety is resistant to TMV, late blight, leaf mold, and relatively resistant to Septoria.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>Below is a review and photos originally posted by <strong>cat2008 <\/strong>(USDA 4):<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8230;the determinates <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/en\/zagadka\/\">Zagadka<\/a> and Kameya. I had them growing outdoors with absolutely no cover and they started ripening in early July. Started them from seed in mid-March, and in mid-April I tucked them between the greenhouse indeterminate vines to grow out a bit. So that&#8217;s about four months total. But our whole June was 46-59\u00b0F (8-15\u00b0C) outside, so they just stalled out and sat there. I wonder how they&#8217;d do if you tried them in a greenhouse?<\/p>\n<p>Zagadka had a pretty average flavor, weighed about 3.5 oz (100 g). But Kameya had this intense, punchy tomato flavor, almost like cherry tomatoes. It was just a bit smaller at 2-3 oz (60-80 g). Let me know if anyone wants me to send some seeds to try out&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>Edited January 28, 2015 by Drosera<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/18\/12397-100614161320.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/18\/thumb_12397-100614161320.jpeg\" alt=\"Kameya tomato plant, photo posted by cat2008 (1)\" width=\"120\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/24\/12397-150714041130.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/24\/thumb_12397-150714041130.jpeg\" alt=\"Kameya tomato, photo posted by cat2008 (2)\" width=\"96\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/20\/12397-240614093357.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/20\/thumb_12397-240614093357.jpeg\" alt=\"Kameya tomato, photo posted by cat2008 (3)\" width=\"160\" height=\"96\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/22\/12397-070714070140.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/22\/thumb_12397-070714070140.jpeg\" alt=\"Kameya tomato, photo posted by cat2008 (4)\" width=\"160\" height=\"96\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/24\/12397-120714143231.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/24\/thumb_12397-120714143231.jpeg\" alt=\"Kameya tomato, photo posted by cat2008 (5)\" width=\"160\" height=\"96\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- ===== FULL SUMMARY ===== --><\/p>\n<div id=\"full-summary\" class=\"tldr-box\" style=\"background: #f4f9f4; padding: 20px; border-left: 5px solid #4CAF50; margin-top: 30px; border-radius: 4px;\">\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 0;\">Full Summary: Plant, Yield, Taste and Vigor<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\ud83c\udf3f <strong>Plant:<\/strong> Ultra-early determinate.
