Quick Summary of Sibirskiy Gigant (Siberian Giant)
- 🌍 Origin: A commercial Russian variety introduced by the well-known “Gavrish” seed company. The name appropriately translates to “Siberian Giant”.
- 🌿 Plant Habit: Indeterminate (tall). It produces an extremely vigorous and massive vine. Growers report it reaching up to 3 meters (nearly 10 ft) tall when pruned to two stems, meaning it requires extra-tall stakes or robust greenhouse trellising.
- 🍅 Fruit Characteristics: Bright red, classic beefsteak tomatoes. They are naturally large, but growers note that if you prune the blossoms (regulate the flower clusters), the fruits can grow absolutely massive.
- 👅 Flavor: The flesh is dense, meaty, and very juicy with a delicious classic tomato flavor.
- ⏳ Maturity & Yield: Mid-season. It is an exceptionally heavy yielder, frequently noted by growers as one of the most productive varieties in their gardens for the season.

Indeterminate, mid-season, very tall variety. Mine grew to about 3 m (9.8 ft) on 2 stems. The tomatoes are large; if you regulate the cluster (prune some blossoms), I think they can be VERY large, tasty, meaty, and juicy. Seeds were from Gavrish.
My Siberian Giant from the exact same source turned out to be one of the most productive varieties last season. At the same time, it was tasty and juicy. The fruits are a bright red color.
Yes, that’s IT!!!! Aleksandr, your photos are definitely better 👍 the tomatoes in all their glory. It’s a pity I ran out of seeds 😞 a very worthy variety.
