Velikan An exceptional tomato from Russia.
Velikan means giant in Russian. Can grow from 1-3 lbs. with
superb deep rich flavor. Shape can be irregular, but most are flat
beefsteaks. Supposed to be a high yielder, unfortunately my
plants were in partial shade and my collection of seed suffered,
therefore I can only offer 15-20 seeds per packet and my supply is
limited.
