\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Liguria<\/strong> is a mid-late season indeterminate<\/strong> variety that produces gorgeous, heavily ribbed, pear-shaped red tomatoes. While growers agree it is a vigorous vine that sets stunning fruit, reviews on taste and texture are highly mixed. Some report dense, juicy, and sweet fruits with heavy feeding, while others find them hollow, tart, and inferior to similar Russian ribbed varieties. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Seeds from Redko, indet, mid-late season, average yield and average taste. But just look at it! The most perfectly proportioned pear shape in my entire collection.<\/p>\n

I grew Liguria this year too. Man, did it grow into a massive monster \ud83d\ude32 Straight up vine. Fruits are bright red, decently sized (reaching 7-9 oz \/ 200-250 g). Tastes worse than Puzata Hata. Definitely on the tart side. Hollow inside. Disease-resistant, very low-maintenance. In my conditions, they started ripening at the end of August. Sowed on March 8, transplanted to their permanent spot in the greenhouse on April 14. Won’t be growing it again anytime soon \ud83d\ude44<\/p>\n

Can’t seem to find any pics of the ripe ones. Karl<\/a> and Liguria are the exact same thing.<\/p>\n

I am absolutely thrilled with this variety. Surprisingly for a ribbed tomato, it’s very meaty and juicy. Extremely high yield. The vine was just completely smothered in fruit. Wasn’t tart at all for me. But I did feed them really heavily this year. And they just look so spectacular! I’ll probably be growing it again.<\/p>\n

Valya, Karl and Liguria are two different varieties. But they do look very similar visually. Sounds like you ended up growing Karl?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Good afternoon Galina. I can’t remember where I read it, but some lady wrote that they are the same variety. But if they’re actually different, how do we get this moved to the Karl thread…? A friend sent me the seeds with a double name on the packet \ud83e\udd37\u200d\u2640\ufe0f \ud83e\udd37\u200d\u2640\ufe0f \ud83e\udd37\u200d\u2640\ufe0f \ud83e\udd37\u200d\u2640\ufe0f<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
