Bykhanov. The packet also had &#8220;Yubileynye&#8221; written on it (it literally said: Kommuna. Yubileynye).<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s an indeterminate vine, doesn&#8217;t grow very wide, but it really reaches for the sky. The internodes are quite long, and the fruit clusters are spaced pretty far apart. Mid-season.<\/p>\n<p>You can&#8217;t really see the little beak on the fruits in these photos, but the ones higher up the vine and the smaller ones definitely have a sharp little pointy beak. The taste is good, very well-balanced.<\/p>\n<p>The packet also noted that these are meant for canning, but ours never actually made it to the jars &#8211; we ate them all fresh, even though I planted 6 vines of it.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, as a seedling, it was incredibly wimpy and got really leggy. But the quality of the fruit totally makes up for the scrawny seedling stage.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/attachments\/3919_092c8df3569a91a11b9cb1dee9b0a18cdc931691.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/attachments\/3919_092c8df3569a91a11b9cb1dee9b0a18cdc931691.jpg\" alt=\"Kommuna tomato plant in greenhouse, photo posted by Esme\" width=\"600\" height=\"570\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/attachments\/3921_939e1f7946a4efe9beba0c34eb6d51829cc7add0.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/attachments\/3921_939e1f7946a4efe9beba0c34eb6d51829cc7add0.jpg\" alt=\"Kommuna tomato slices, photo posted by Esme\" width=\"600\" height=\"491\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/attachments\/3923_b22bedb48c68dce754047c3d308113d97bad6cf2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/attachments\/3923_b22bedb48c68dce754047c3d308113d97bad6cf2.jpg\" alt=\"Kommuna tomatoes whole, photo posted by Esme (1)\" width=\"600\" height=\"447\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/attachments\/3925_07cbf61b99480244e5e2eab182f3f51d82ba0e82.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/attachments\/3925_07cbf61b99480244e5e2eab182f3f51d82ba0e82.jpg\" alt=\"Kommuna tomatoes whole, photo posted by Esme (2)\" width=\"600\" height=\"421\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- ===== FULL SUMMARY ===== --><\/p>\n<div id=\"full-summary\" class=\"tldr-box\" style=\"background: #f4f9f4; padding: 20px; border-left: 5px solid #4CAF50; margin-top: 30px; border-radius: 4px;\">\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 0;\">Full Summary: Plant, Yield, Taste and Vigor<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\ud83c\udf3f <strong>Plant:<\/strong> Indeterminate mid-season vine. It has a narrow, tall growth habit with long internodes. Like many heart and paste heirlooms, it exhibits the &#8220;wispy\/wimpy&#8221; gene, looking very scrawny and leggy during the seedling stage. Produces medium red tomatoes, with the upper fruits displaying a sharp beak on the blossom end.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udcc8 <strong>Yield:<\/strong> Moderate. The wide internode spacing means clusters are spaced further apart than on commercial hybrids, but planting multiple vines compensates for this.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Taste &amp; Usage:<\/strong> Extremely versatile. Marketed as a firm canning variety, it actually boasts such a well-balanced, high-quality flavor that it functions perfectly as a fresh-eating salad tomato.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udee1\ufe0f <strong>Vigor &amp; Resilience:<\/strong> Don&#8217;t let the sad-looking seedlings fool you. While it starts off spindly, it grows into a very tall, productive vine that holds up well in a greenhouse setting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- ===== CTA ===== --><\/p>\n<div class=\"add-review-cta\" style=\"margin: 20px 0; padding: 15px; background: #f9f9f9; border-left: 4px solid #4CAF50; border-radius: 4px;\"><strong>\ud83c\udf45 Grown Kommuna (Yubileynye)?<\/strong> <a href=\"#wpdcom\">Share your zone and how it did for you in the comments below, and add your photos!<\/a><\/div>\n<p><!-- EDITOR'S NOTE --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83c\udf45 Quick take: Kommuna (also labeled as Yubileynye) is a mid-season indeterminate variety originating from a Russian private collection.
