\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Night Candle is an exceptionally productive indeterminate<\/strong> vine that produces gorgeous, glowing yellow-orange oxhearts<\/strong> with a distinctly pointed blossom end. It’s praised for being a sturdy, early-to-mid-season producer that thrives in short-summer climates, delivering large, incredibly sweet, and nearly seedless fruits. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

I couldn’t find this variety in our catalog, neither in the Russian nor the English section. Kind of weird, considering how many people have grown and raved about it.<\/p>\n

My seeds are from Angelina. Her description: “Mid-season, tall, indeterminate. The fruits are meaty, aromatic, incredibly delicious orange hearts with a pointed blossom end, almost seedless. The variety is highly productive. One of the best-tasting varieties out there.”<\/p>\n

Every bit of that is true, the variety is simply excellent! Productive and very beautiful. Such lovely hearts with a little point, turning a glowing yellow-orange when fully ripe. They somewhat remind me of Fox Nose. Very sweet and juicy.<\/p>\n

I’ll second the good review for the Night Candle variety. A very beautiful orange heart, pleasant in every way. Large, sweet tomatoes. A strong, tall plant. Unusually productive for this type of oxheart tomato. It’s not a late-season variety, so it’ll work perfectly for regions with short summers.<\/p>\n

It really does look a bit like Fox Nose and Lyuba’s Heart (which I also grew this season), but it differs by having a much beefier plant structure, a slightly different heart shape, and to me, it seemed to pack a brighter flavor. This variety will not disappoint you.<\/p>\n
