It is positioned as a det (determinate). In my greenhouse, it grew as an indet (indeterminate), up to 1.7 m (5.6 ft). The bush is regular, not flimsy. Ripening time is mid-season, fruits are red, large beefsteaks, with a good tomato flavor, and decent yield. A reliable variety for the middle zone.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/242\/30-280918225011.jpeg\" alt=\"Large red Sasha tomato\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" \/><\/p>\n<p><small><em>Edited December 27, 2018 by Tomatanya<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">B<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Bylinka (Lena) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (1,101 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Oryol Region (USDA Zone 4-5)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>For me, it grew outdoors in open ground, indet 1.7m (5.6 ft), mid-early.
