\n\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Nezhnost<\/strong> (which translates to “Tenderness”) is a mid-early, indeterminate<\/strong> variety that produces beautiful, glowing yellow elongated tomatoes<\/strong> with a pointed tip. The fruits average 3.5-5.3 oz (100-150 g). Growers report that the vines are incredibly prolific, often exceeding the 7-12 fruits per truss promised on the seed packet. While the flavor is sweet and juicy, the skin is quite thin, making them prone to splitting during hot-water canning. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

I grew this one, and my vines had way more tomatoes per truss than what the packet description claimed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Verochka, whose seeds did you use? I have a packet lying around from Alena Lux. If they germinate, I definitely need to plant them for the 2017 season \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I actually grew Nezhnost from Alena Lux seeds this year. The trusses were super heavy, the tomatoes were beautiful and bright, and the taste really was tender and juicy.<\/p>\n

However, they completely split and burst in the canning jars, even though I pricked them with a needle beforehand. The skin is just too thin. Honestly not sure if I’ll be growing it again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
