Default Photo of 2 new dwarves-New Cee and Moscow

Got these from Glenn in Nz-Both are supposed to be Russian and hard to find. I couldnt find anything more about them by googling. Anyone grown these two? What is your experience?

I have potted these up once and in about 2 weeks they will go into grow bags, probably about 12 gallons for New Cee cause there are 4 plants and 5 gallon for moscow cause there is only one plant.

For Moscow, Glenn said this: "Only grows about 15 inches high max with medium red fruit. Rugose foliage like RR. What I like is that it can fit into any spot as it only grows 12 inches across. Had a bunch of them fruit in 4 inch pots years ago when I grew too many plants for selling to customers. Hardy as RR."




Glenn said this about New Cee: "New Cee...Rare one this...This one is now a mystery. Medium oblate fruit of good substance. Regular foliage. Originally thought it was indeterminate so tried to stake it but it only got to 18 inches high.

John-I am looking forward to seeing what happens with these two. I will keep the thread cooking as things progress.

Bully-Just think, dwarf plants would be easier for your dog to help with the harvest! Or you could give him his own garden with dwarves only.

The 'Moscow' with rugose leaves should be the same as Siberia (but not Siberian). Has history here in Canada, especially on prairies. Glenn's description sure fits.

Don't know New Cee.

Think D or Tania, the BC tomato mavens, have grown Demidov. Or Nancy in NY.

Thanks for sharing great pics!

Actually Moscow tomato was named after Moscow, Idaho not Russian Moscow

You just have too many towns in USA named after well-known towns/cities from the whole world :wink:

Tania-not yet, but I will post new photos when I get back-my wife and I are on vacation now. I am going to plant them in 15 gallon containers and will photograph them and post the pictures.
