\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Lampa (The Lamp) is an indeterminate<\/strong>, mid-season<\/strong> orange tomato distributed by the Russian seed company Gavrish. It’s supposed to produce 3.5-5 oz (100-140 g) pear-shaped fruits in massive clusters. Growers report a great sweet flavor with a slight tang, making it perfect for canning and dehydrating. However, the commercial seed packets seem highly prone to off-types, with users getting mixed shapes or completely wrong colors on their vines. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Seeds are from this packet.

The seed company’s description: Mid-season (110-115 days from sprouting), tall variety for plastic and glass greenhouses. Indeterminate vine, reaching 6.5 ft (2 m) tall. Large 3.5-5 oz (100-140 g) bright orange pear-shaped fruits, hanging in spectacular, long, branched clusters of 12-15. Perfect for salads and canning. Sugary flesh, very sweet, with high carotene content. Yields up to 20 lbs (9 kg) per vine.<\/p>\n

Grew this outdoors right in the dirt, completely ignoring the vendor’s greenhouse instructions. Here’s what I got:

Got some wildly different shapes on the exact same vine. The elongated fruits fit the fit the packet specs, but the round-pear ones got way bigger:

Absolutely loved the flavor – sweet with just a tiny hint of tang. Here they are sliced:

Saved seeds separately from the elongated ones and the round-pear ones. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Never saw those 12-15 fruits per truss they promised, more like 4 to 6. Not a single one was actually lamp-shaped either. Yield was just average. They were great for canning and dehydrating, but my seed packet was a total mixed bag of off-types. Got one vine throwing small reds, another small yellows, and the rest looked like this:<\/p>\n
