Stryama

Seeds of Stryama were gifted to us sometime ago by a Bulgarian woman and her English husband who used to fish on the beach in our village. We weren’t initially interested in putting it in our catalogue as we already sold a similar variety, though every few years, we grew some plants to refresh our stock of seed.

In 2020, we did yet another grow out, only this time we took a closer look at the plants and fruit. We measured, prodded, tasted, and chewed, and we were won over by Stryama’s qualities. Granted, it suffers from blossom end rot, but this seems confined mainly to the early fruit. Given its overall high yields; manageable plant size; and good-tasting fruit, we decided that it was worthy enough to sell.
