\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Ocharovanie<\/em> (which translates to “Charm” or “Fascination”) is an indeterminate<\/strong>, mid-season<\/strong> Russian variety that produces beautiful, apricot-looking orange fruits with a slight blush. Weighing up to 3.5 oz (100 g), they are firm, sweet, and perfect for canning. Greenhouse performance shows massive vigor and excellent late blight resistance, but growing it outdoors might lead to severe blossom drop in some climates. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/p>\n

Excellent, tasty tomato! Tall, vigorous indeterminate, the vine structure is just like De Barao Pink. Grew it in the greenhouse. Mid-season, tough against bad weather and diseases. It stayed totally healthy for me, and was the very last plant in the greenhouse to succumb to late blight.<\/p>\n

The vendor description says the fruits are round, but mine turned out slightly oval with a little nub. Weight up to 3.5 oz (100 g). They are orange with a blush, absolutely gorgeous, they look just like apricots. Sweet, juicy, and firm. I bet they’d be perfect for canning, though we just ate all of ours fresh \ud83d\ude0b. They grow on beautiful, dense, hanging trusses of 6 to 8 tomatoes each.<\/p>\n

Definitely growing this one again \ud83d\udc4d. While typing this up, it hit me: if it weren’t for the orange color and the sweeter taste, this would be a dead ringer for De Barao Pink \ud83d\ude32.<\/p>\n

I grew mine outdoors. It didn’t set a single tomato \ud83d\ude32\ud83d\ude32\ud83d\ude32 just tiny little dried-up blossom nubs. First time I’ve ever had this happen. So the “Ocharovanie” (Charm) variety turned into a total disappointment for me, to put it mildly. Scored the seeds from Kulik.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
