Abundant (Obilnyye) is one of Pavel Saraev’s early tomatoes that is a fantastic producer in our garden. This is one of the earliest tomatoes to ripen, and the tomatoes have a good sweet-and-tangy taste. Most of the tomatoes are round, but some are more irregular shaped and mainly range in size from 60 g to 100 g. The plants are nice and compact at 2 ft (60 cm). Abundant would do well in a container.
The Saraev tomatoes are famous for their cold tolerance and disease resistance, but also being able to handle rain and high temperatures. These are the kinds of tomatoes we like to grow to hedge our bets with. We have 4 Saraev varieties available: Pink, Forest, Abundant and Spiridon.
Our seed source for Abundant is Seed Savers Exchange member Debbie Premus (Ohio) who stewarded a collection of rare Saraev varieties. We were fortunate to get 7 Saraev tomato varieties from Debbie and will be growing them out over the next few years.
