I've recently received these seeds which are now germinated and I'm trying to find out any info as to the history on this tomato. I assume it comes from somewhere in Russia and wonder what the English translation of the name is. I got the seed from FarmerShawn and see it is described as a RL Pink large slicer on his google sheet. Is there anyone on Tomatoville that has grown this variety and could provide some information ?
Regards, Dan |

My spelling for it was Rosovyi Krupnyi. I grew it in 2018 and 2019 and it is returning again for this year. RL, 12-18 oz, very productive and very tasty for me. It's a keeper.

I grew it in 2017. Round pink slicer. My largest was 14 oz. and I only got fair production out of it.
I don't recall the taste, but I haven't grown it again since. Might just need a second chance in my garden. 72 DTM for me that year which was about average for me that season. Good luck, Lee

Sorry, I don't My listing shows the name as Rozvye Krupnye. That's how I received the seeds from Carolyn in 2017 when I was growing them out for seed.
Yours is probably a good guess. Lee

Yes, Rozovy means pink, direct translation is rose. Krupnye does not have a direct translation but means large or big.

Thanks for your info. So maybe Big Rose or Large Pink perhaps. I'm looking forward to tasting this one. I just transplanted my seedlings into 4" pots a few days ago. They won't see my garden for another 4-5 weeks. Thanks again.

Spelling can be different depending on what you think, IMHO.
Translated Pink Large and it is large and pink midseason, loved it, am growing again. Worthy keeper. |
