Moskvitch

Open-Pollinated, Semi-determinate 60 days
Developed in the early 1970s at the famous N. I. Vavilov Institute of Plant Industry, in Moscow,  Moskvitch is very popular with gardeners in Colorado, especially at higher elevations in the foothills. The 4-6 ounce crack-resistant fruits are very uniform, globular and deep red, with outstanding flavor for fresh use or processing, and are produced extra-early and abundantly. Moskvitch performs well in cool conditions, like many of the Russian varieties.
