Purple Russian Tomato
Origin: Russia
Item #: TOM030
Despite its name, the Purple
Russian Tomato was originally introduced to the United States from the
Ukraine in 1980. Though it should have possibly been called "Ukrainian
Purple Tomato" to better reflect the variety's true origin, at the time,
the Ukraine was still part of the United Soviet Socialist Republics and
as far as the outsider was concerned, the entire country was just Russia
and anything from there was therefore "Russian". Either way, with the stormy
relationship between the United States and the USSR at the time, it was
considered something of a minor miracle in those days to obtain tomato
seeds of Soviet origin, thus the original seeds of this tomato variety
were considered a true treasure.
The Purple Russian Tomato
produces an abundance of purplish-red colored, egg-shaped, six ounce tomatoes
with a smooth, blemish free skin. Due to its shape and smooth apearance,
Purple Russian is a very nice tomato for market gardeners or for those
in the culinary trade. The tomatoes of this variety truly excel in flavor
and are absolutely delicious. Purple Russian is a perfect tomato for eating
fresh, for making into salsa or tomato sauces and also for canning.
This variety is very productive.
Indeterminate. Matures in
75 to 80 days.
