Tarasenko Chyornyi (Black Tarasenko)

[Andrey_BY]

A local gardener gave me seeds for this non-commercial OP tomato variety her family have been growing for almost 10 years so far. To my surprise it gives me quite compact plant with no multiflora-type clusters like many other huge viny tomato giant plants developed by the late famous Soviet (Ukrainian) tomato breeder-enthuatist Fedor Tarasenko. This plant is compact indeterminate or semi-determinate and bears a brown-reddish beefsteaks like that (this Cinderella type pumpkin is called Adaggio and was picked by me today ). So here is another black tomato variety from my part of the world.
