I grew it in 2017 (seeds from V. Redko). Grew it in the greenhouse. Indeterminate, mid-season, good yield, and very beautiful fruits.

👨🌾 Editor’s Notes:
- Wild Boar Farms in Russia: Brad Gates’ striped tomato varieties (especially his “Boar” series) are incredibly popular in Eastern Europe. Russian seed collectors usually translate the names literally, so if you ever trade seeds with Russian growers, you might see this variety listed as “Zheltyi Polosatyi Kaban”.
