Product reviews for Purple Russian Tomato Seeds

These are awesome. Great flavor, huge plants, and an excellent keeper which ripens well off the vine as well (important in short damp climates like here in the Pacific Northwet). Listen to the commenter who said "the leaves on these always curl" - they looked so sad early in the spring that I moved them away from the rest of my tomatoes and almost threw them out. But then they took off and overtopped even my 5' cages, LOADED with clusters of fruits.

I am so impressed with this tomato... it is over 5 feet tall and about as wide across the braces we have tied it too. At first glance I have gave up counting after 50 tomatoes. We ate the first 3 and the flavor is rich and the flesh thick and mellow. We will eat all we can and then make a thick tomato juice which I can use for any thing. So far there is no sign of disease... we live in Regina, Saskatchewan and the entire spring and summer (Aug. 25 now) has been wet. The tomatoes are growing up against the garage where they get full sun and warmth. I will be growing this tomato again next year. The tomato starts out looking like a Roma but can fill out and can look kind of like an oxheart. I also reminds me of a Black Krim...

5 stars for flavor -- Very juicy and sweet. It has a bit more juice and acid than a Brandywine. Absolutely delicious in a salad. It look like a paste tomato but it is not a paste tomato. I am giving it 4 stars because it was the first to catch late blight. The leaves on this plant always curl -- this is normal and not a sign of disease.
