| In this picture, the fruit at the bottom right is typical. The two at the top and top-left are from fused blossoms. This is a real winner and is replacing San Marzano in my grow list. |

| Thank you for sharing. May i ask why it's replacing your San Marzano's? Productivity, flavor, etc etc? Thank you in advance, Steve |

| Steve, it's larger, more fruit per vine, and reasonably disease resistant. It doesn't mind the heat of mid-summer. San Marzano's all seem to shut down when the real heat and humidity of July and August get cranked up. And, it puts on more "sauce material" (i.e. the meat of the fruit) per plant. It would take three San Marzano plants with a bumper crop on each plant to produce what I get from 2 Ukrainka plants in an average year. I should note that I have grown every San Marzano type that I could get seed for. The "Redorte" variation seemed to have the better flavor here in my climate and soil. And remember, I'm in zone 6a.

| Thanks for sharing! On my list for next year. I too do not have reliable results from San Marzano varieties. This year Petrovich was great plum for me and Lagidnyi, which great container size plant,very productive. Lagidnyi was more juicy, petrovich really dry,much drier than Tania shows,but mine were in container,so we will see for next year. |
