This tomato is distributed in Finland between home growers and is known by name Laukaus (Gun Shot). It originates in Russia and who ever got it from there was told what the original Russian name translates in Finnish. It is indeterminate and heart shaped and produces easily tomatoes weighing over a pound. This is my first ripe one from a plant which was hit by TSWV, but recovered. It is fleshy with very few seeds and taste is quite mellow. I have not grown it earlier and I am not sure, if I should give it a second chance next year. I have an other plant of it without TSVW and I will save seeds from it when ever the first tomato ripens.
