B.C KO T
- Compact indet., regular leaf plants. 4-8 oz red fruits shaped like beefsteaks, with some green shoulders. Flesh is very meaty and juicy, with small seed chambers. Delicious flavor, more acidic than sweet. This is a great tomato, and I am very happy it was 're-discovered' and rescued from the USDA seed vaults.
Seed source:
- Norbert R. Pikovsky, Johnstown, Pennsylvania (PA PI N2) 08 / USDA
Year grown: 2013
Location: Zone 7b, PNW, Anmore, BC, Canada (760 ft above sea level)
History
- Developed at the Biryuchekutsk's Vegetable Research Station by selection from Kulenkamff tomato.
- PI 321069. Donated to USDA in 1967 by the All-Union Institute of Plant Industry, Leningrad through L.H. Lyall, Canada. Seeds collected from former Soviet Union.
- USDA description:
- "Plant indeterminate. Fruit flat globe 5.7 cm by 8.3 cm, 8 to 9 locules around solid core, uneven ripening, early."
- First offered in the Seed Savers 2007 Yearbook by Norbert Pikovsky, Pennsylvania (PA PI N), who got the seeds from the USDA.
- Correct spelling of the name should be 'Novocherkasskij' or 'Novocherkasskiy'. Having said that, I would recommend to stick with the original name, 'Novcerkasskij 416'.
Russian name: Новочеркасский 416
- The name means 'No. 416, from Novocherkassk'.
