Russian commercial variety from St.Petersburg (former Leningrad). Introduced to North American tomato gardeners by Andrey Baranovski of Minsk, Belarus in the mid-2000s as Leningradskiy Big. Introduced commercially in North America by Tatiana’s TOMATObase Seeds in 2014. Semi-determinate, regular leaf plant produces high yields of 6-12 oz., medium to large, pink fruits with ruffled shoulders. Some fruits can be semi-hollow, making it a good stuffer tomato.
