\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Muchamiel<\/strong> (Tomate de Mutxamel) is a celebrated traditional heirloom from the Alicante province in southeastern Spain<\/strong>. It grows as an indeterminate<\/strong>, mid-season<\/strong> vine bearing flat, heavily ribbed red beefsteaks weighing 10.5-12.5 oz (300-350 g), distinguished by their hallmark green shoulders. When trialed in cool northern greenhouses, it yields well and produces exceptionally firm, shelf-stable slicing fruit. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Seeds from SVETLA (Spanish variety). Looks like this was run through a translator straight off the original Spanish seed packet:<\/p>\n

“Muchamiel tomato seeds. Very good flavor, semi-flattened and ribbed fruits with a green collar. Sow seeds 0.4 inches (1 cm) deep in starter trays from December to May. Transplant when seedlings reach around 6 inches (15 cm) with 6-9 true leaves. Garden spacing: 32 x 20 inches (80 x 50 cm). Harvest window: July through December. Container growing: recommended minimum 6.5-gallon (25 L) pot with a depth of 16 inches (40 cm). Beneficial companion plants: onions, carrots, leeks, parsley, and basil. Unfavorable companions: potatoes and cucumbers. Packet contains 0.75 g (approx. 160 seeds), ideal for kitchen gardens.”<\/p>\n

For me, it grew in the greenhouse. High-yielding variety with gorgeous fruit. Fruit weight ran around 10.5-12.5 oz (300-350 g).<\/p>\n

Grew this one from two separate sources, Svetla and Yashchenko. Both plants turned out completely identical. The fruits are firm, hold up exceptionally well on the shelf, and don’t go soft quickly. Flavor was good.<\/p>\n

Grew it in the greenhouse, trained to three leaders. The tomatoes ran a bit small for what this variety is supposed to produce, yields were average, and flavor was just standard everyday tomato.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
