Michael - it looks very healthy. High hopes on a good flavour!
Will you gonna try Utyonok during you next seed-starting wave?

Andrey-I am going to try this spring. I will report back on flavor on Rozovyi Leader when I taste it. I am letting it get nice and ripe before I pull it.

Here is a photo of Rozovyi Leader, picked today, 1/1/08. This fruit is 7.5 oz, so it is probably smaller than New Big Dwarf, although I don't have any weights for my NBD. The flash has made this fruit look redder than it is-its a nice pink tomato.

That is one Beautiful tomato. Please, Please let us know about the taste. If it is tasty and looks like that, I am going to have to hit Andrey up for some seeds.

Michael - it must be very exciting to eat such cutties in winter time! Will be collecting more dwarfs for you and our web-site's dwarf project this year!

Andrey-the dwarves you have sent me are all good so far-nice tomato taste in the dead of winter.
I am going to slice this one tonight. Keep the dwarves coming, Andrey!

Michael - Alpha looks very dwarfy, but how about Amurskiy Shtamb leaves and growing habit? Is it a rugose leaf dwarf or just a RL determinate plant? I was told it is a dwarf (by my seed sourse), but have not grown it yet for myself...

Definately dwarf-its about 3 feet tall (91 cm) and I think its rl-I will check and post back. Your source was right about it being dwarf. Right now Alpha is about 6 inches tall (15 cm) right now. The plant, before I cut it back, was about 45-50 cm.

Rozovyi Leader in the photo with Amurskiy Shtamb, which is the paste. Harvested seed for Amurskiy Shtamb tonight, then used some on a pizza. Nice taste on the pizza.

Andrey-I am going to send the seed this week. I need to get a bubble mailer, etc. I will email you the day I send the seed, so you can be looking out for it. Any special instructions I need to put on the package? Tell us about the new dwarves you found.
