Utyonok

Early Midseason Regular Leaf Determinate

Beautiful orange fruit that sometimes exhibit an elongated blossom end are born in profusion on very short 45 cm (18 inches) tall vines that spread out about 60 cm (3 feet). Fruits average about 50 - 90 grams (1.75 - 3 oz.) and have a nice zing to them. Utyonok means “duckling” in Russian.

Yuko’s Persimmon Perfection

Early Midseason Regular Leaf

One of my customers grew out some of my KBX seeds and said that they were regular leaf seedlings. KBX is an orange beefsteak with potato leaves which was itself a mutation from Kellogg’s Breakfast, a regular-leaf orange beefsteak. I grew out the seeds in 2014 to see what I would get and sure enough there were regular leaf seedlings. After consulting online with Carolyn Male to make sure that what I had was not Kellogg’s Breakfast, she assured me that it is a new variety, genetically speaking. I decided to name this variety after my wife and the incredible texture this tomato has, just like a persimmon! This orange beefsteak is not only productive—the total weight from the first two trusses was 3.151 kilograms (close to 7 pounds) with one fruit that weighed 558 grams (19.7 ounces)—but the strong fruity sweet flavour will make this variety your “go to” orange beefsteak!
