Info:Bulgarian Triumph, Batyanya, Rozovye Gryozy?
[B]Bulgarian Triumph[/B]: I've seen a lot of praise for this variety, and I'm considering growing it in my greenhouse. Does anybody know if it's heat tolerant?
[B]Batyanya[/B]: Has anybody grown this one? All I know is what I found about it at nikitovka.com - [FONT="]“Early (96-105 days), high-yielding Heirloom variety. Indeterminate tomato, plant grows 150-190cm (60-75in.) height. Heart-shaped, crimson with pink, big, very delicious tomatoes, weight 350-600g (12-21oz.). Long fruiting period and resistant to late blight.” I'm wondering if it's early enough to do well outside in our cool summer.

[url]http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Bulgarian_Triumph[/url] From Tania's link you can see I got it from Dennis Sherwood back in 2003 and have grown it many times since then for SSE listings and seed offers. Dennis was doing a huge project on determining the internal pH of many tomato varieties. I don't know where he got it from, but he sent me the seeds he had left over,about 200 varieties. And yes,if anyone has my heirloom book , as Tania pointed out,it's on page 80. I then looked in the current 2017 SSE Annual, and see folks from Mi OH WI WI listing it and all liking it very much. The problem that started with the 2017 SSE Annual is that no more have they listed whose hands the seeds went through until the current person grew it and indicated who they got it from. Thank heavens that Tania still does that as you can see from the link to her page. Heat tolerant in a greenhouse? Maybe in the winter?Could work, but in the summer how hot does it get in your greenhouse? As in how how heat tolerant do you want it to be?;) Carolyn |
Thanks for the info. Carolyn. I do have your book. I sometimes have trouble keeping the temperature from going into the 90s. Couilles de Taureau, NAR and Indian Stripe, for example, kept on producing while others dropped blossoms.

Steve[/QUOTE] Even where I am in Zone 5 in upstate NY,it will get to 90 or above,that's F not C, but at 90 plus for several days the pollen is destroyed, denatured,and if it's also humid the pollen wil lclump making it less produtive. Once the temps go back down new buds and blossoms appear and onward it goes. But what I can't remember is when I was growing it so often what the weather was like. And I'm sure you'll also look into the other two varieties that you mentioned as well. Carolyn |

If it were me I wouldn't compare what he sees with what you experience in Norway,either outside or in a greenhouse..:) Especially when he says pollen clumping come first, at least for him. Carolyn |

Carolyn[/QUOTE] True, Carolyn, humidity is very seldom a problem here, but varieties that others describe as "heat tolerant" have done [U]much[/U] better than others in my greenhouse, so I find the term useful.

Batyana, very good, early, productive, more sweet than acidic. I am not sure if it is heirloom though, I think it is recent OP?
Rozovye gryozu- not that early if I remember, more mid, good sausage shape fruit, tasty, wispy plants. Productive enough to plant again but I have only grown it once. |
Bulgarian Triumph - In the words of Comic Book Guy (The Simpsons), "Best. Red. Saladette. Ever."
Smaller tomatoes have always done better in hot weather, for me. It looks like BT is smaller than the other two varieties. |
I grew BT this year and thought that it tasted pretty darned good too :)

Thank you all for the input
Bulgarian Triumph sounds good, so I'll try it in the greenhouse, and see for myself how it does in the heat. Batyanya looks like a good one to try outside.
I've decided to only grow early varieties outside, after I got very little production last year during a very cool summer, from all except one variety, so Vozovye Gryozy is out. [B]Note: The one variety which produces lots of delicious fruit here, even in a bad summer, is Sakharnyi Pudovichok [/B]("Sugary Pounder")[B]. [/B]Tatiana describes it as midseason, but "very early for such a large fruited tomato". [B]Highly recommended![/B] Steve ps: Sakharnyi Pudovichok did [B]not[/B] like the heat when I tried it in the greenhouse! |
I grew BT last year when it was a much hotter summer than this past one and it was prolific. Pumped out tons of tomatoes. Good flavor as well.

Yes, grow it! I grew it in my partners acreage garden. It got over run my the tomato next to it, and I wasn't able to jump the row to harvest it. Same conditions as you experienced Sharon, much hotter than normal all summer. I could see the long rows of really ripe tomatoes calling out but arms were to short to grab. Second the taste with The Simpsons; very tasty out of the gate. I have very few seeds but hope to grow again next year. It was destined to be a nifty fifty <sniff>. - Lisa |
Yes!
BT sounds good to go in the greenhouse!
