The name translates to &#8220;The Boaster&#8221; or &#8220;Show-off.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf3f <strong>Plant Habit:<\/strong> Mid-season, indeterminate plant. Reaches heights of 1.2\u20131.7 meters (4 to 5.5 ft) depending on whether it is grown outdoors or in a greenhouse. It has standard Regular Leaf (RL) foliage.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf45 <strong>Fruit Characteristics:<\/strong> According to the breeder, these should be large, pure yellow beefsteaks\/hearts weighing 350\u2013600g (12\u201321 oz). They are often compared to small yellow melons, sometimes even developing a slight netting texture near the stem.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Flavor:<\/strong> The flesh is sugary, very sweet, and low in acid with very few seeds. Highly recommended for fresh summer salads due to its elevated beta-carotene content.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83e\uddec <strong>The Seed Mystery (Off-types):<\/strong> As this forum thread reveals, commercial packets of Samokhval were notoriously unstable. Many growers experienced &#8220;off-types&#8221; (seed mix-ups or crosses). While some grew the correct pure yellow fruits, others ended up with gorgeous orange hearts or yellow-and-red bicolors. Surprisingly, everyone agreed that regardless of the color they got, the tomatoes were absolutely delicious!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">D<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Danko (Elena) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (10,117 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Russia<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Variety from Siberian Garden (Sibsad) &#8211; <strong>SAMOKHVAL<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>An interesting mid-season variety with large yellow fruits that resemble small &#8220;Kolkhoznitsa&#8221; melons (a popular sweet yellow Russian melon). Near the stem on some tomatoes, you can even see a light netting, just like on melon skin. The variety is recommended for both greenhouses and open ground. The plant height is 1.2-1.7 m (4-5.5 ft) depending on growing conditions, and the fruits are large, 350-600g (12-21 oz) each.<\/p>\n<p>The flesh has very few seeds, is sugary, sweet, with reduced acidity and increased carotene content. Highly recommended for making summer salads and general home cooking. Yield is up to 5 kg (11 lbs) per plant.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/3\/47-021213065342.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/3\/thumb_47-021213065342.jpeg\" alt=\"Large yellow Samokhval tomato on a scale\" width=\"120\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/3\/47-021213065549.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/3\/thumb_47-021213065549.jpeg\" alt=\"Sliced yellow Samokhval tomato showing meaty flesh\" width=\"120\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/3\/47-021213065626.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/3\/thumb_47-021213065626.jpeg\" alt=\"Another pure yellow Samokhval fruit on a scale\" width=\"120\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">K<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">KsenaZ (Kseniya) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (1,479 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Russia<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Elena, could you please tell me if you grew it in a greenhouse or outdoors?
