Growing Purple Russian Heirloom Tomato
‘Purple Russian’ is a Ukrainian heirloom tomato prized for its plum-shaped fruits and dense, meaty flesh. The sweet flavor and solid interiors make this dark tomato especially valuable for cooked preparations.

Ready to harvest in about 75 days, pick fruits once they reach full size and mature color.
Sweet, meaty, and flavorful, ‘Purple Russian’ is especially well suited to sauces and pastes.
