Kiev tomato (p.146 in Carolyn's Book)

ddsack · June 24, 2023

I was moving stuff around near my computer bookshelf, and picked up her book "100 Heirloom Tomatoes for the American Garden" and while randomly flipping through it, fell open to the page for Kiev. I love Prue, and this one sounds like it could be similar with the irregular shape and thinner leaf cover. A brief search online shows Novy Kyiv and Kyiv 139 but neither description sounds like Carolyn's tomato.
Sand Hill Preservation used to carry it according to Tania's tomatobase, but I can't see it under their current Red Tomatoes listing.
Is anyone still growing this irregular shaped old version?
