Lightning Tomato
Lightning tomato is a superb sauce and cooking variety. Determinate plants produce heavy crops of deep red, 3-4 ounce, slightly elongated fruits. I made some really great sauce with these. They should also make great canning tomatoes. Our three feet tall plants never showed any signs of diseases. They just produced their crops and expired. I especially loved that they were early producers. I picked the first ripened fruits about 72 days after transplant. Taste was mildly sweet with nice acidity. Balance as good for an early variety. It’s a rare cultivar. Seed Source: Gatersleben Russia, LYC 3874
