The seeds were a gift from a meetup, I&#8217;m embarrassed but I don&#8217;t remember who gave them to me \ud83d\ude33. Outdoors in the dirt, it didn&#8217;t get very tall and wasn&#8217;t super prolific, but the very first ripe tomato of the season outdoors came from this vine. In the cucumber greenhouse, it started ripening later \ud83d\ude2e \ud83e\udd37<\/p>\n<p>Did a taste test on July 9th &#8211; the tomato is quite firm with a pretty good taste, especially for an early variety. It&#8217;s somewhat sweeter than the forum-favorite June tomato (which, if you don&#8217;t rush to pick it at the breaker stage and let it ripen fully on the vine, is actually quite good itself). But it falls short of Spring Frosts in terms of yield, fruit size, and flavor. At first, it went perfectly into fresh salads, and later when we had too many salad tomatoes, it went into canning. Although it&#8217;s a bit soft for canning. Overall, I&#8217;m happy with this little tomato.<\/p>\n<p><em>Edited January 18, 2017 by LanaD<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/127\/13785-290616150847.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/127\/thumb_13785-290616150847.jpeg\" alt=\"Moravian Wonder early fruit\" width=\"89\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/131\/13785-150716174032.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/131\/thumb_13785-150716174032.jpeg\" alt=\"Moravian Wonder ripe cluster\" width=\"89\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/129\/13785-070716104606.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/129\/thumb_13785-070716104606.jpeg\" alt=\"Moravian Wonder harvested\" width=\"160\" height=\"89\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/131\/13785-150716175531.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/131\/thumb_13785-150716175531.jpeg\" alt=\"Moravian Wonder sliced\" width=\"160\" height=\"89\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/132\/13785-160716020839.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/132\/thumb_13785-160716020839.jpeg\" alt=\"Moravian Wonder in salad\" width=\"89\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/132\/13785-160716020934.jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/132\/thumb_13785-160716020934.jpeg\" alt=\"Moravian Wonder on scale\" width=\"108\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">P<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Pirina (Irina) <span class=\"author-stats\">\ud83c\udf45 New Grower (192 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Volokolamsk Region (USDA Zone 4)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>My seeds were originally from Redko. Potato leaf, height outdoors in the dirt was 4 ft (1.2 m), in the greenhouse 5 ft (1.5 m). Very early, productive, round fruits weighing 2.1-2.8 oz (60-80 g), red-brownish color. I&#8217;ve been planting it for several years now. Outdoors I prune it to 3-4 stems. It&#8217;s one of the very first to ripen, the only one that ever beat it for me was the June tomato.<\/p>\n<p>One year I planted it simultaneously outdoors and in the greenhouse. It performs much better in the dirt. In the greenhouse, the yield was lower and the fruits started getting smaller. I absolutely love the taste, it&#8217;s sweetish.

Usually maxes out around 4-5 ft (1.2-1.5 m) outdoors but can reach 6.5 ft (2 m) in a greenhouse. It responds well to multi-stem pruning (3-4 stems) or even being left unpruned after the 3rd truss.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udcc8 <strong>Yield:<\/strong> Extremely prolific, setting &#8220;seas&#8221; of uniform cocktail-sized fruits (1.4-2.8 oz \/ 40-80 g). Interestingly, multiple growers note it performs better and yields heavier outdoors in the dirt compared to a greenhouse.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Taste:<\/strong> A major highlight. Unlike many early tomatoes that sacrifice flavor for speed, Moravskoe Chudo is consistently rated as tender, sweet, and rich.<\/li>\n<li>\u23f1\ufe0f <strong>Earliness:<\/strong> Highly valued for its speed.
