\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Mikado Sibiriko<\/strong> is a commercial Indeterminate<\/strong> Siberian variety (Sibirskiy Sad) known for producing massive, meaty pink hearts<\/strong> up to 21 oz (600 g). It shares the classic “wispy foliage” trait common to many oxhearts. Growers frequently compare it to the popular Batyanya tomato, noting it has a very similar mild, sweet flavor profile but boasts a much better shelf life. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Here’s another new one from Sibsad: Mikado Sibiriko. The description says: “Bred in Siberia. XXXL sized fruits. Mid-season large-fruited variety. Excellently adapted for growing outdoors in the dirt, provides stable high yields. Pink heart-shaped fruits weighing up to 21 oz (600 g) stand out with particularly bright flavor and aroma. Plant reaches 5-6 ft (150-180 cm), requires pruning and staking.”<\/p>\n

Grew it outdoors in the dirt, height was 4 ft (1.2 m), productive, good flavor.<\/p>\n

Planted it in 2015. Pruned to 2 stems, hit 6 ft (1.8 m), got 15-20 large pink-raspberry hearts off it. Productive, looks exactly like Batyanya and tastes the same, but it kept in storage for a long time without degrading, and it has slightly more seeds than Batyanya. Repeating it this year, even though I have 22 new varieties on trial.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It really does look very much like Batyanya<\/a>, which I also grew this year. My Mikado Sibiriko seeds were from Sibsad. Large, productive, not sour; more on the mild side, but meaty. We love that type, as long as they aren’t sour. The vine isn’t sprawling, very compact, I ran it to two stems. For some reason, the growing tips were kind of wimpy and wilted looking, same with Batyanya. Figured I either under-fertilized or over-fertilized the soil.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Bumping this thread to praise the strain. Planted it two years in a row. Second time from my own saved seeds. The vines are a bit over 5 ft (1.5 m) tall, very flimsy. The fruits are tasty and aromatic. Tastier than a lot of similar heart-shaped varieties. The yield in 2017 was a bit lower than in 2016, but it’s still a very solid variety.<\/p>\n

I grew Mikado Sibiriko this past summer. Considering what a terrible, non-summer we had in 2017, this variety performed wonderfully! Grew outdoors in the dirt!!! Huge thanks to Sasha-Talex for the seeds of this variety.<\/p>\n

Been growing it for 2 years outdoors. Height was probably around 4.6 ft (1.4 m), pruned to 2 stems, topped them in August. Fruits are large, juicy. It was mid-early (which is pretty good considering the size of the fruits). Didn’t get sick during the heatwaves, nor during this cold, rainy summer. Seeds from Sibsad. Will definitely plant again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The vine has sparse foliage, like most heart varieties, reaching up to 6.5 ft (2 m) tall.
\nThe strain is wonderful. The fruits are pink truncated hearts, flesh is a raspberry color, super tender, pure meat, small seed cavities, and not very many seeds. The taste is balanced with sweetness and a slight tang. Loved it. Going on my permanent grow list.<\/p>\n

Grew it this year from a SibSad packet.<\/p>\n

Grew in the greenhouse. The vines were from the “thin, wispy, and see-through” category. But the fruits were quite large\u2014around 10.5-17.6 oz (300-500 g). I really liked the taste, although the yield wasn’t exactly sky-high.<\/p>\n
