| This plant gets very tall and the vines need extra support because they get so long. I thought something was wrong with the plant because it looked lanky and the there was not a lot of foliage. Turns out that this is normal. The fruit averages in size and shape. I got some that looked like hearts and some that looked more roundish. Some were huge, some small. Overall, I truly enjoyed growing and eating these tomatoes. They were very meaty with very few seeds. The taste was delicious. Just remember to give this plant lots of room. |

| Anna Russian tomato was sent to me as an "early" variety. It ripened about 3 weeks later in my garden than my main season Moscow type. No diseases or pests were noticed. |

| We had very cool short summer this year but the Anna Russian tomatoes did quite well. They were very good sized and fairly productive. I hadn't planted them for several years but after what they did in this miserable growing season I intend to plant them again next year! |

| This year was a horrible growing season for tomatoes in the Pacific Northwest, but this variety did great here. The plants are wispy but also very hardy, and they were reasonably early considering how cool the summer was. The taste was great (according to my wife, I do not like raw tomatoes very much) and they have a wonderful balance of flesh to juice so that they can do very well as both a slicer and a sauce tomato! As far as heirlooms go, this variety is an excellent workhorse, has excellent eating properties, and the fruit is much more beautiful and interesting than the average hybrids. |
