I got excited about this tomato after reading Penn Parmenter's story (check out https://www.pennandcordsgarden.com/penns-blog/sashas-altai-harvest). She's been growing this flavour bomb since 1991 and seems almost addicted to it...
The plants climb in the greenhouse, and outdoors, they remain quite compact. The Siberian grower, Sasha, lived in the mountains in a very cool climate, which bodes well. He considered this the best tomato in Siberia, and in gratitude, this tomato was named after him. The taste is almost indescribable: perfectly balanced, juicy, exquisite... you have to experience it! The fruits are not that large (100-150 g), but the yield per plant is quite large and early. All of this combined earned it a spot in the top 10 best early tomatoes in the world (Organic Garden Magazine poll).
This group of tomatoes is a size between cherry tomatoes and beefsteak tomatoes: medium-sized. Each has its own unique character. The climbing varieties ripen later than the compact varieties and are therefore more successful under rain protection: a lean-to, greenhouse, or growing tunnel.
