Characteristics and Uses of Anna Russian Tomato Plants
Solanum lycopersicum, commonly known as Anna Russian Tomato, is an indeterminate, early-maturing heirloom variety known for its oxheart-shaped fruits, meaty texture, and low seed content. The plant produces high yields of smooth, rosy-pink tomatoes with a balanced sweet-acidic taste, making them perfect for slicing, sandwiches, salads, and cooking into rich sauces or paste. Their tender, juicy texture also makes them a favorite for fresh eating.
Growing Conditions for Anna Russian Tomato Plants
Anna Russian Tomatoes thrive in full sun and well-drained, nutrient-rich soil with a pH between 6.0 and 6.8. They require warm temperatures (above 70°F) for optimal growth and benefit from regular feeding with compost or organic fertilizers. As an indeterminate variety, they continue to grow and produce fruit throughout the season.
Planting Tips for Anna Russian Tomato
Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix and keep soil temperatures around 75°F for best germination. Once seedlings develop strong roots and outdoor temperatures are consistently above 55°F at night, transplant them into the garden, spacing them 24 to 36 inches apart. Provide sturdy stakes or cages for support.
Watering Instructions and Tips
Water deeply and consistently, keeping soil evenly moist but not soggy. A drip irrigation system or watering at the base helps prevent diseases like blight. Mulching around the base of the plants helps retain moisture and suppress weeds. Avoid overhead watering to minimize fungal issues.
Growing Zones
Anna Russian Tomatoes thrive in USDA hardiness zones 3 through 10. Globally, they perform best in temperate and warm climates with long growing seasons.
