‘Pobeditel’ is a Russian heirloom variety from the Khilenko Family. The name means ‘Conqueror’ in Russian. The seeds were sent to Tatiana’s TOMATObase Seeds in 2014 by Aleksey Kulik, Ukraine, who received them from Natalia Khilenko of Armavir, Russia. Mrs. Khilenko and her family have been growing many native Russian heirlooms for many years, and she shared seeds from her seed collection with Aleksey Kulik, a Ukrainian seed vendor.
Introduced commercially by Tatiana’s TOMATObase Seeds in 2015. Indeterminate, regular leaf plant produces 7-12 oz., pink heart-shaped tomatoes. Very juicy and meaty. Delicious, rich, complex flavors.

*There is also another, Russian commercial tomato variety under the same name, created by Shefatov Vladimir Anatolyevich. It produces medium size, red, elongated fruits on determinate vines.
