Russkaya Dusha
I'm growing this variety, and would like more info. on it. Especially it's origin. Was it from a breeding endeavor, or a family heirloom? The seedlings I've got growing, are some of my most vigorous growers. Any other info. would be appreciated.

This is a Siberian CV. I don't know who was the actual breeder, but was told it was bred by one Siberian gardener from Altai region and not by a seed company or agricultural Institutes or Stations as many other Russian varieties.
Russkaya Dusha ~Russian Soul (Rus.>Eng.) *mid-early to midseason, semi-det. (1-1.5 m high) plant with a good yield of bright-red, beefsteak 300-900 g fruits, very good taste. It is distributed by Russian CV Sibirskiy Sad, Western Siberia
