A rare Russian heirloom, named after the clock installed in the Spasskaya Tower in the 15th century, which overlooks the Kremlin in Moscow. These plants need plenty of support, as the average fruit is over 400g! Capable of producing some proper, giant fruit, this variety doesn’t skimp on taste, either. A brilliant variety for slicing and canning.
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.
