Tomato 'Hybrid Tarasenko 2'

Hybrid Tarasenko 2 has become one of his most popular varieties.

7. Flavor Profile: Many gardeners grow Hybrid Tarasenko 2 tomatoes in their gardens because of their excellent taste and all-purpose nature. The taste is sweet, and the walls are thick and meaty. This is the taste of an old variety.

8. Culinary Use: Ideal for canning whole tomatoes, salads, freezing, sun-drying and thick sauces as well as for long-term storage. Our mother keeps growing these tomatoes in her own garden (aside from our crops) so that we could have whole tomatoes for eating fresh. We pick our mom’s Hybrid Tarasenko 2 tomatoes before the weather gets cold, put them in boxes to ripen after harvest and eat tomato salads in October and November. These fruits keep and transport very well and their taste remains unchanged during storage.
