Leningradski Giant

• A Russian heirloom from Saint Petersburg: Leningradski Giant is a traditional tomato variety originating from Saint Petersburg, Russia. According to available variety information, it was included in the State Register of the Russian Federation. It is especially valued for its large, flavourful fruits and its ability to adapt to different weather conditions.
• Large pink fruits with variable shapes: The tomatoes generally weigh between 200 and 500 grams and range from round and slightly flattened to broad heart-shaped. Their attractive pink skin and full, fleshy appearance give them the characteristic look of a large beefsteak tomato.
• Creamy flesh and delicious flavour: The firm, meaty flesh has a wonderfully pleasant, almost creamy texture, with very few seeds and little gel. The flavour is rich and well balanced, with a distinct sweetness and gentle acidity. A delicious tomato to enjoy fresh.
• Early harvests and excellent adaptability: The plants have regular, relatively sparse foliage and a fairly moderate growth habit. In our own growing experience, they continue growing indeterminately and produce good, steady harvests early in the season, potentially lasting until the first frost. Leningradski Giant is well adapted to cool, short summers while also tolerating warmer periods.
• A long-standing favourite in our family greenhouse: Alongside Bread & Salt, Leningradski Giant has held a permanent place in our family’s private greenhouse for many years. Its excellent flavour and reliable production under changing conditions have earned it that place. A personal recommendation!
