We have grown Russian Persimmons for several years and will continue growing it. It ripens earlier than 80mdays and I would judge the plant to be semi-determinate. Some tomatoes grow up to 2 lbs.; but most are smaller, but still large. Unquestionably the best of four or five large yellow/orange tomatoes we have grown. When critters invade our Tennessee garden, Russian Persimmon is their tomato of choice. A tasty and beautiful tomato when sliced.

Gorgeous determinate variety. Slightly flattened half pound fruits with exquisite sweetness. Decent yields on compact plants.
