\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Labrador Improved (Labrador Uluchshenniy) is an early-season<\/strong>, no-prune determinate<\/strong> bush tomato. Growers praise it for being extremely reliable, heavily yielding, and having a great old-fashioned acidic tang that beats anything you can buy at the store. It thrives outdoors and produces early harvests. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Seeds were from Ruslan Sirotin. It’s an early one (though nothing is early for me this year lol), doesn’t need pruning, pumps out a ton of fruit, and it’s a short bush variety. The fruits range from 2 to 5 oz (60 to 150 g). Juicy but not watery, with a really pleasant acidic tang. Exactly what you want after a long winter of eating those tasteless plastic grocery store tomatoes :D. I really liked it.<\/p>\n

I only planted one Labrador bush this year. It grew outdoors in the dirt, I didn’t even cover it with plastic until mid-August, and I let it go to five stems. We started pulling red ripe ones off it in late June, it was the absolute first to ripen for me. And then in late August when I pulled the plant for the season, I picked a whole bucket of tomatoes off it all at once.<\/p>\n

Very early variety, never lets you down, and always a heavy yielder.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
