The Druzba tomato, also known as Drushba, is an old and very resilient heirloom variety from Bulgaria. Its name comes from the Bulgarian word Druzhba, meaning “friendship” – a fitting name for a tomato that has delighted gardeners for generations and earned a permanent spot in many gardens.

Druzba stands out for its mild flavor and soft, sweet flesh, offering a fresh and fruity aroma. These qualities make it an ideal choice for anyone looking for a tomato with a gentle taste and pleasant sweetness. The fruits ripen late in the season, providing a long harvest period.

While Druzba is generally well-suited for outdoor cultivation, it is recommended to grow it under cover in rainy summers to protect the fruits from excessive moisture. The plant is easy to grow, but it should be well-supported and regularly pruned (suckers removed) to ensure optimal fruit development.

The Druzba tomato is perfect for those seeking a traditional yet robust variety with a mild, fruity flavor. Its low-maintenance cultivation and outstanding taste make it a must-have in any vegetable garden.
