Tatiana Kouchnareva (B.C KO T). Klusha - sliced fruit. 2014-08-11.

B.C KO T

Compact det. dwarf plants with regular leaf foliage are very pretty and set fruit early in the season. Fruit is usually hiding in the dense foliage, so we had some difficulties photographing it on the vine. This is probably why the tomato is names 'Klusha', which means 'broody hen' in Russian. Fruits are round red, 2-5 oz, with firm (not runny or mushy) flesh, which makes that perfect for canning or for farmers market. Very good balanced flavor. This variety do not benefit from pruning and will produce more fruits if not pruned. Early maturity.
