\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Minusinskie Yablochnye<\/em> (Minusinsk Apple) is a massive, indeterminate<\/strong> pink beefsteak hailing from the legendary Minusinsk region of Siberia. Mid-season. The fruits are oblate or slightly apple-shaped, frequently reaching 1-2.2 lbs (500-1000 g). The vine is stout with long, wispy, drooping foliage. Growers rave about its “classic pink” flavor profile, which is incredibly meaty, tender, and very sweet, though some note it lacks a bit of acid balance. A fantastic high-yielding option for greenhouse growers looking for giant, sweet slicers. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Minusinsk Apple. A gorgeous variety. Became one of my absolute favorites of the 2017 season. Very heavy yielder, tall indeterminate (hit about 5.5 ft \/ 1.7 m in the greenhouse), mid-season. The fruits weigh up to 2.2 lbs (1 kg), oblate and apple-shaped, pink color. Very delicious, meaty, sweet, and tender.<\/p>\n

This has been one of my favorites for two years running now. Good yields, grew them in the greenhouse pruned to 2 leaders (you can do 1 leader as well). All the tomatoes are huge, beautiful oblate pink stunners up to 1-1.5 lbs (500-700 g), and some hit the 2.2 lbs (1 kg) mark. Really great taste, true classic pink heirloom flavor \ud83d\udc4d<\/p>\n

Greenhouse: 2 leaders. Outdoors: 2 leaders.<\/p>\n

Vine is strong, stems are thick. Leaves are large, long, and drooping, but it’s not super bushy. Responds really well to feeding. A single-leader vine takes up about 1.5 ft (50 cm) of space. Foliage coverage is maybe 50%.<\/p>\n

The fruits are large, flat, and juicy. The flavor is a bit unbalanced to me, the sweetness really dominates, and it’s lacking in the other departments. Much like Khulouri from Adjara, I’d give it a 4.8 out of 5. I haven’t had much luck with yields yet, though the greenhouse did better than outdoors at around 9 lbs (4 kg) per plant. I saved seeds for next time.<\/p>\n

Minusinsk Apple grew tall and vigorous for me, with light green foliage. Yields were pretty good, fruits were massive, up to 1 lbs (500 g). Good, classic tomato flavor.<\/p>\n
