This beautiful tomato is Gingerbread, sometimes called Imbirnij Pryanek, which is an heirloom believed to have originated in Greece. It is an indeterminate plant, with regular leaves, which grows to about 6ft tall and produces masses of fruits which vary in shape. Single flowers tend to produce smoother, rounder fruit, whereas double or fascinated flowers produce more ribbed, more oblate fruits. The interior is meaty, with a good balance of flesh and gel. They are a really delicious variety, early ripening and prolific all season. The flavour is sweet and rich, with a tangy edge and a slight spiciness too. Excellent!
Indeterminate, regular leaf, early production. Prolific. Did well outdoors in our garden.
Indeterminate plants are vigorous plants with a vining tendency. They set their fruits at intervals along their stems, and will readily grow side shoots and suckers (shoots from ground level). They need good, strong support, and it is advisable to remove the majority of the side shoots and suckers unless you have plenty of space and fertile soil to allow them to grow to their full potential. See the guide on pruning indeterminates in the resources section of the website for tips.
Sow Jan-April indoors
Height band G
10-15 open-pollinated seeds
