Podorok Fei Tomato

Solanum lycopersicum

Price: $2.95

SKU: 3402691

95 days, determinate - 'Podorok Fei' in Russian translates literally to "Gift of the Fairy" in English. The compact plants are prolific and produce relatively small (about four to seven ounce), heart-shape, orange fruit. They are high in beta carotene and make a nice slicing tomato.

This Russian variety was sent to us by Dr. Carolyn Male (NY MA C) who received the seed from seed saver, Andrey Baranovski of Minsk (BELR BA A).
Fruit Color: Orange
Fruit Color: Yellow
Harvest Timing: Late Season
Sow seeds indoors (do not direct sow into the garden), using sterile seed starting mix, 6 to 8 weeks before your last expected frost date. Plant 1/4" deep, water lightly but keep moist until emergence.

Full light and cooler temps (60° to 70°) will help to prevent the seedlings from becoming too leggy. If plants become rootbound before you can safely set them into the ground, transplant them into larger pots.

Harden off plants before planting outside. Young plants are very susceptible to frost and sunburn damage. Avoid too much nitrogen. Water evenly but not in excess.

★★★★★ A real hit.
By Rebecca Harrell on July 28, 2016

This is my first year growing Podorok Fei and I must say this tomato is a real hit so far. Very productive. The largest tomato picked weighs in at 13.3 oz. The shape of mine is closer to slightly squat and round than a heart shape. Very nice orange color and taste. Will definitely grow again next year. Grown in Earthboxes inside greenhouse.
