\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Swan Song (Lebedinaya Pesnya) is a mid-season<\/strong>, indeterminate<\/strong> pale yellow\/white tomato. The vines are very well-behaved and manageable, producing excellent yields over a long production window. The fruits weigh between 3.5 and 10.5 oz (100-300 g) and develop a beautiful pink blush on the blossom end when fully ripe. It has a very mild, delicate flavor with zero acidity, making it highly recommended for people with food allergies or acid sensitivity. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Beautiful variety \ud83d\udc4d. Lena-Pushistik shared the seeds, she got hers from Gusev (Pomidom). Indet, grew one vine in the greenhouse, yielded pretty well. Fruits are a pale yellowish color, and when fully ripe, they get a little pink blush on the blossom end. Weight is about 3.5 to 10.5 oz (100-300 g).<\/p>\n

The flavor is interesting, probably similar to other white varieties – zero acidity, not super sweet, but just kind of delicate and mild \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Sveta, what’s the maturity on this? Does the vine take up a lot of space in the greenhouse? How many leaders should I train it to?<\/p>\n

Just got my seeds from Gusev today. Trying to figure out when to sow them.
\nThanks!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In my conditions it’s mid-season. Think I sowed them in early March. If anyone really needs the exact date, it’s in my grow log from last year, hopefully you won’t mind digging for it \ud83d\ude48 Planted out in the greenhouse around May 5th.<\/p>\n

Ran two stems. It’s a pretty well-behaved vine, totally average footprint for an indet \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

My White Cherry looked exactly that color last year, and it got that same pink blush later on too. Plus the flavor Svetik described sounds identical.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Svetik, thanks for the seeds \ud83d\ude18
\nI absolutely loved Swan Song too \ud83d\udc4d \ud83d\ude0b
\nHere’s how mine turned out. Photo is from August 26th, already heavily snacked on:<\/p>\n

Indet, grew just like a normal vine. Ran two stems.
\nFirst tomato ripened on July 25th from a Feb 19th sowing.
\nHas a really long production window. Flavor is super mild and it turned out to be a massive yielder. The harvest photo is all from one vine (not even all of them, obviously).<\/p>\n

It’s hypoallergenic, great for people with allergies.
\nLooks awesome mixed into a colorful salad \ud83d\udc4d \ud83d\ude0b
\nDefinitely going to try growing more white varieties now \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
