\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Gritsyk is a mid-season, indeterminate red heirloom that produces massive, meaty plum-heart shaped fruits, often with a little point or beak on the blossom end. Growers praise its intensely sweet, rich flavor with practically zero acidity, and its outstanding resilience in extreme heat and wind. The huge fruits can weigh up to 1.1 lbs (500 g) and have very dense, nearly seedless flesh, making them excellent for fresh eating or thick sauces. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Gritsyk. Read a few good reviews, decided to plant this variety and didn’t regret it. Indet, grew in the greenhouse to 2 stems, fruits are large (up to 1.1 lbs \/ 500 g) red plum-hearts with a little beak, meaty, absolutely delicious! \ud83d\udc4d \ud83d\ude0b<\/p>\n

I totally agree, very tasty! True sweet tomato flavor, meaty chubby giant plums. Excellent rich taste, not a hint of blandness. The variety is highly productive, handled our crazy weather swings, intense heat, and wind really well (to be fair it grew in partial shade – a prime spot in our conditions). Mid-season. Grew it in 2020 outdoors in the dirt, the plant is sturdy and strong, but not overly aggressive, so it’s well-adapted for outdoors. Height outdoors… hard to say, mine wasn’t pruned to 2 stems, more like 5, and it reached maybe 4 ft (1.3 m). Normal foliage – not a see-through wispy plant, but not a dwarf either. Seeds were from Lena Danko, I saved my own, planning to repeat it next year with 3-4 plants right away, loved it that much. I’ll plant Yablochnyi Lipetskiy (Lipetsk Apple) right next to it in the same amount.<\/p>\n

By the way, I had no issues with the seeds – normal amount in the fruit: not too many, but not too few either.<\/p>\n
