65 days, dwarf — 'Alpatieva 905A' plants are a dwarf-type with rugose leaves, but produce like a determinate and remain quite compact, reaching about eighteen to twenty-four inches tall. In spite of its stature, it is quite productive. Its fruit are good flavored, red in color, two to five ounces in weight, and globe to oblate shaped.
'Alpatieva 905A' is an old, Soviet-era commercial Russian variety, developed by VNIISSOK, from a cross 'Shtambovyi Alpatieva 905' with 'Bizon 639', and introduced in 1950. Our original seed sample was sent to us by seed saver, Andrey Baranovski of Minsk (BELR BA A). Each packet contains approximately 20 seeds.

This was our first time growing determinate tomatoes. Though the plants took a long time to grow big, it was worth the wait. The plants were nicely shaped and produced a ton of beautiful red tomatoes. They had nice flavor and didn't split or spoil. Mine were small in size and much redder than the photo shown. I froze a bunch of whole ones this year and have used them in chili. They have been great! My plants got teeny white bugs all over them at the end of the season when I ignored them for a while and I pulled then out early but this year I'll keep better eye.
