Quick Summary of Reyna
- 🌍 Origin: A rare and exotic long-fruited heirloom variety popular among Russian collectors.
- 🌿 Plant Habit: Indeterminate (vining) and tall, easily reaching 1.8 m (6 feet). The foliage is average, not overly dense. Pro Tip: Most growers highly recommend pruning this variety strictly to two stems to maximize the yield.
- 🍅 Fruit Characteristics: Beautiful, elongated/oval orange fruits. They are unusually large for a plum type, often reaching 400 g (14 oz). They are incredibly dense and meaty, with very small seed cavities and very few seeds.
- 👅 Flavor & Texture: Highly praised for its unique texture. The flesh is tender, “buttery”, and mouth-coating. The flavor is very sweet with just a perfectly balanced hint of tartness.
- 🌱 Adaptability: Performs well both outdoors and in greenhouses. Growers note that yields often improve significantly in the second year when grown from saved seeds as the plant acclimatizes.
Reyna is an exceptionally original, exotic, and rare long-fruited variety. Its fruits are elongated, beautiful, thick, weighing 400 g (14 oz), and have a rich orange color. They are very sweet, contain few seeds. It is a tall, mid-season variety. Indeterminate; prune to two stems.
Tall plant, I grew it on 2 stems. The yield in 2015 was average. Very few seeds, tasty sweet orange-colored fruits.
Grew in the greenhouse, strong bush, good yield, excellent taste.
Beautiful, tasty (I love yellow and orange tomatoes). But it turned out to have a low yield for me in the greenhouse, pruned to a single stem. I probably need to go back to growing it on two stems.

Arm yourself with a double-barrel next year! 😄
Tasty, buttery. The yield increased in the second year from my own saved seeds. It performed well both outdoors and in the greenhouse. Yummy.
I grew it in the 2016 season. A real favorite—the yield is good, they are large, and very tasty 👍
