Growing tips

The 'Orange Russian' should definitely be given a sheltered, warm location and tied up. Without protection from the rain, it is quite susceptible to fungal diseases and tends to grow poorly and yield poorly in unprotected open ground. In the greenhouse, on the other hand, it can produce many fruits and remains healthy if well cared for. Excessive humidity should be avoided due to velvet spot disease (Cladosporium fulvum).
