This variety, released in 2024, is part of the extraordinary “My Ukraine” series by Oleksiy Kulik, of Ochtyrka in the Sumy region of Ukraine. Despite the war, he continues to bring us incredible varieties, and this series was designed in reverence to the beauty and strength of his country. Polissya (aka Polesie, Polissia) is one of the largest forested areas on the continent, stretching across the entire northern part of the country, from Poland to Russia, covering an area of more than 18 million hectares.
Treasures of Polissya is a large plum shaped tomato, with a green and red striped exterior. It hides an extraordinary interior, with glossy, green and ruby red flesh. Depending how ripe the fruit are when you eat them, the red will spread from the base, throughout the interior. If you like a tricolour, this one is particularly delicious, being sweet and well balanced. A delicious tomato and a serious looker, it really stands out on the plate.
Indeterminate, fairly early, regular leaf
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.
