\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Nepasynkuyuschiysya Alyi (Non-Pruning Scarlet) is a highly productive, early-season potato leaf (PL) determinate<\/strong> variety. As the name implies, it is bred to be grown outdoors without any pruning or suckering. However, growers note that while it stays around 2 ft (60 cm) out in the dirt, it turns into a massive, sprawling monster when grown inside a greenhouse. It produces huge clusters of 2-2.8 oz (60-80 g) red “mini beefsteaks” with an old-school tomato flavor. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Description from the packet: Super low-maintenance, early-season variety. The plant is determinate, upright, with sparse branching, reaching about 2 ft (50-60 cm) tall. Fruits are flat-round, slightly ribbed, scarlet red, weighing 2-2.8 oz (60-80 g). Recommended for outdoor growing. Excellent for fresh eating, home cooking, and canning.<\/p>\n

I grew it out in the dirt. I actually pinched the suckers anyway, and it really was super early. Absolutely loved the fruits, they’re like mini beefsteaks with tiny seed cavities, very juicy, and surprisingly sweet. Definitely keeping this one in my permanent collection :-*<\/p>\n

I highly doubt there’s actually such a thing as a truly “no-prune” tomato, I’ve never seen that in nature. I’d love some more details on this. Do they really not need any suckering at all, and under what conditions…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Non-Pruning Scarlet. Bought the seeds from “Uralskyi Dachnik” for practically pennies at the store.
\nAccording to the breeder: Super low-maintenance, early-season. Tree-type plant, determinate, sparse foliage, 2 ft (50-60 cm) tall, requires no staking. Fruits are flat-round, slightly ribbed, scarlet color, weighing 2-2.8 oz (60-80 g). Valuable traits: cold tolerance, heavy and uniform fruiting, disease resistance.<\/p>\n

I sowed my Scarlets on April 7, grew them right in the dirt without any cover. I ran them on 6 stems, and they definitely needed staking because the branches were literally snapping off from the weight of all the tomatoes. They ripened up all at once outdoors, averaging around 2 oz (60 g) each. Just a standard, classic tomato flavor.<\/p>\n

In 2024 I grew Scarlet in the greenhouse and was totally blown away by how massive it got. Assumed it would stay a compact bush like it does outdoors, but this thing turned into a monster. Started running it on 7 stems, but realized it was gonna choke out its neighbors, so I cut it back to 5.<\/p>\n

Lyudochka, I’ve been growing this one for years now! This season I grew it both in the dirt and in the greenhouse. Inside the greenhouse, it acted just like an indet and was completely covered in red orbs!<\/p>\n

It threw out so many stems, and I just couldn’t bring myself to pinch them off because every single sucker had a blossom truss on it! Since it was in the corner, I just let it run wild. Incredibly generous variety, and if you give it a little attention, it really pays off! Thanks for the seeds!<\/p>\n

Grew this back in ’23. Couldn’t dig up any photos, but it got pretty tall and was absolutely loaded with tomatoes. A friend of mine grew it out in the dirt and it was just gorgeous :06yes:<\/p>\n

Hey y’all, does this one have regular or potato leaves? The ones I started from your seeds, Lyudasik, threw out potato leaves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Potato leaf! In the greenhouse, it got pretty tall (up to 3 ft \/ 90 cm) and was super productive!<\/p>\n
