\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Lampochki (which translates to “Lightbulbs”) is an early-season<\/strong>, indeterminate potato leaf (PL)<\/strong> cherry tomato. It produces gorgeous clusters of sweet, meaty yellow pear-shaped cherries. It was grown side-by-side with the famous commercial variety “Honey Drop<\/a>” to see if it was just a renamed clone, but proved to be vastly superior\u2014ripening earlier, tasting sweeter, and showing absolute zero tendency to crack on the vine or in canning jars.

Slava shared these seeds with me so we could grow them out and check if this was just a renamed clone of another variety. Well, I can officially confirm it is a completely unique, standalone variety!<\/p>\n

Indet, vigorous vine, early season, with potato leaf foliage and gorgeous trusses. The fruits are yellow pear cherries. Meaty but juicy, very sweet, with few seeds. They also hold up really well for canning in jars. It’s definitely staying in my collection, became an absolute favorite.<\/p>\n

Now for the comparison. It looks a lot like Honey Drop,<\/a> BUT! Lampochki is strictly an early variety, and it’s way sweeter than Honey Drop. Plus, Honey Drop cracks terribly both when you pick it off the vine and when you process it in jars. Lampochki doesn’t split or crack at all.<\/p>\n
