History

• A variety from Russia. It was sent to Ted Maiden of LaFollette, Tennessee by Marina Kirishcheva, Bryansk region, Russia in December 2012.
• Larisa is the name of a Russian woman, Larisa Ivanova from Nizhniy Novgorog, who had been growing this tomato for many years. Larisa did not have a name for it, and simply referred to it as 'svoi', which means 'my own'. Hence, Marina labelled it 'Larisa' when she shared seeds with some North American gardeners in December 2012.
• Ted generously sent a few seeds to Tatiana in December 2012.
• Introduced commercially by Tatiana's TOMATObase Seeds in 2014.
