Overview
Druzba, a Bulgarian heirloom, takes its name from the word for friendship, and it stands out for pairing an early harvest with the deep, well-balanced flavor usually found only in late tomatoes. Fruits are pure red, about 4 inches across, smooth-skinned and slightly flattened, and they resist cracking better than most heirlooms. The vigorous indeterminate vines keep bearing for months, so cage or stake them securely and lightly pinch suckers to keep growth in check. Maturity is around 80 days from transplant.
