(65 days). Medium-sized heirloom (8 - 12 oz); semi-determinate; red. “… rich complex flavor! Sweet and tangy fruits are slightly flattened with a healthy red color and moderately green shoulders. Prone to cracking in wet conditions, but not nearly as much as Brandywine. Originally from Ukraine; produces high yields even in cool conditions.” “What makes Cosmonaut so special is its juice: sweet, rich and full-bodied. Even in cold summers, it will produce dependably by mid-August.” Named for the Russian astronaut who died while returning from his second mission to space. As with any early tomato, Cosmonaut Volkov is a great choice for those who don’t have full sun but want a home-grown tomato. These need fewer hours all told to ripen … with no sacrifice in flavor.
