Quick Summary of Salut Viktorii (Victoria’s Salute)<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • \ud83c\udf0d Origin:<\/strong> A stunning modern collectible variety bred by Russian breeder Sofia Saakova.<\/li>\n
  • \ud83c\udf3f Plant Habit:<\/strong> Indeterminate (tall). Performs exceptionally well in greenhouses when pruned to 2 stems. Highly productive with fruits that tend to ripen quite uniformly.<\/li>\n
  • \ud83c\udf45 Fruit Characteristics:<\/strong> Gorgeous burgundy-brown fruits with striking anthocyanin (dark purple\/black) stripes and shoulders. The shape varies from beautiful blunt-nosed hearts to elongated points. Weight ranges depending on growing conditions: from 100-150g (3.5-5.3 oz) up to 250g (8.8 oz).<\/li>\n
  • \ud83d\udc45 Flavor:<\/strong> Known for being exceptionally sweet with rich, smoky notes typical of the best black tomatoes. They are mostly meaty with few seeds, though some growers note they can be quite juicy. Pro Tip:<\/strong> Let them ripen fully on the vine to develop those deep smoky and sweet flavors!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Another masterpiece from our Sofia. It\u2019s all pluses: taste, beauty, and yield. My tomatoes weren’t huge, around 100-150g (3.5-5.3 oz). The fruits on the bush ripen almost simultaneously. I harvested everything in 2 weeks (the bush was topped at the end of July).<\/p>\n

    I can’t say anything about its shelf life\u2014we liked the tomato so much that we sliced it for the table every single day.<\/p>\n
