📌 Quick Summary (TL;DR): Belyi Velikan (White Giant)
- 🌍 Origin: A Russian heirloom variety. The name translates to “White Giant”.
- 🌿 Plant Habit: Indeterminate and highly productive. It reliably sets heavy clusters, typically pushing out 5 to 6 large fruits per truss.
- 🍅 Fruit Characteristics: Large, ivory-white to pale yellow beefsteaks. The shape is noticeably oblate (flattened and round).
- 👅 Flavor & Utility: Like many white tomatoes, it is highly prized for its low-acid, sweet profile. It is very frequently compared to the famous American heirloom White Queen. The flavor debate is split: some growers find it slightly milder or blander than White Queen, while others actually prefer it.

This is also a very good variety. Flavor-wise, it loses out just slightly to White Queen—it’s a little bit milder/blander, but it is every bit as productive. It sets 5-6 fruits per truss. The shape is a bit flatter (more oblate) than the Queen.
I actually liked it more than White Queen.
