One of the most famous varieties is the Golden Raspberry Miracle tomato. Their popularity is due to the unique bright color of ripe fruits, soft structure, huge size and excellent taste.
The undeniable advantages of this complex are noted not only by numerous reviews from summer residents, but also by representatives of the Russian agro-industrial exhibition, who awarded the variety a gold medal. It was this fact that served as the beginning of the development of several series of tomatoes, each of which has its own individual characteristics.
Description of tomatoes Raspberry miracle
In total, 3 collections of tomatoes in the series were created, which, thanks to the award, were named the Golden Raspberry Miracle, 5 varieties each. All of them are represented by determinate plants that need staking and bush formation. On powerful stems 70–100 cm high, there are medium-sized leaves, and intermediate inflorescences. Large salad fruits of raspberry color and medium density are covered with a thin, durable skin that is not prone to cracking with changes in temperature and humidity. In the reviews, gardeners describe their experience of growing Raspberry Miracle tomatoes and present photos of varieties from different series.
The first series is the most homogeneous in terms of the morphological characteristics of its constituent varieties. Raspberry Sunset, Raspberry Wine and Bright Robin are early ripening, Raspberry Paradise and Raspberry Berry are mid ripening. All of them produce round, smooth, large fruits with an average weight of 340–500 g, and are characterized by a yield of 10–12 kg/sq. m in open ground and 12–14 kg/sq. m in a greenhouse.
Tomato varieties of the second and third series are more heterogeneous, differing in terms and volumes of fruiting, shape and size of fruits.

First episode
The first series includes 5 hybrids:
- Bright robin is an early ripening hybrid that produces a harvest 90 - 100 days after planting. It is unpretentious and has a high yield: on average, 15 kilograms of vegetables are harvested from 1 square meter. Tomatoes, with an average weight of 550 g, are characterized by an interesting taste, compared by many summer residents with a ripe watermelon.
- Crimson Sunset is a mid-early hybrid. The first harvest can be obtained after 90 - 110 days from the moment the seedlings are transplanted into the ground. Ripe vegetables are characterized by a round shape and an average weight of 400 - 700 g. Almost all tomatoes ripen at the same time. The skin has a bright shade, similar to the pink of the berry of the same name, and the pulp has a rich sweetish taste. It is characterized by tall growth: in a greenhouse, the bush can grow up to 200 centimeters. The hybrid was launched in 2008. During this time, I managed to receive high marks and positive reviews from gardeners for my productivity: on average, from 1 square meter of plantings you can harvest 14 - 18 kilograms of vegetables. Another advantage is resistance to diseases, with the exception of blossom end rot. There is also a drawback: the bush is very capricious and requires proper watering, lighting and temperature conditions.
- Raspberry berry is a variety distinguished by medium-sized vegetables, the average weight of which ranges from 300 to 500 g. A ripe tomato has a bright color and juicy pulp. It is used for growing crops not only in greenhouse conditions, but also in open ground. The hybrid is demanding on certain watering and lighting conditions.
- The creation of Raspberry wine, which is also called a miracle, dates back to 2009. The Raspberry Miracle tomato harvest ripens 107 days after transplanting into the ground. Ripe fruits are round in shape and pink in color. Their average weight is 300 g. The harvested crop can be transported over long distances and stored until winter.
- The Raspberry Paradise variety allows you to grow tomatoes with a sweetish fruity flavor. This crop is early ripening: the average ripening period is 90 days. In greenhouse conditions, the bush can grow up to 2 meters in height. The average weight is 550 grams, the fruit is round in shape with characteristic ribbing in the area of the stalk.

On social networks you can find many photographs and enthusiastic reviews about the yield of Raspberry Miracle tomatoes.
Area of application of fruits
Raspberry miracle is a salad variety of tomatoes that are not intended for whole preservation. This is due to the large size of the fruit. Juice is squeezed out of these tomatoes, vegetable stews and sauces are prepared, they can be covered for the winter in sliced form - including as part of winter salads and soup dressings.
Resistance to diseases and pests
Golden Raspberry Miracle tomatoes are immune to late blight; to protect against other viral and fungal diseases, preventive measures should be taken and diseased bushes should be treated in a timely manner. They should not be planted after potatoes, eggplants and bell peppers. Potatoes are also an undesirable neighbor for tomatoes. To prevent infection, you need to avoid thickening the plantings, remove the lower leaves, pull out the weeds, and regularly loosen the soil.
Attention! Diseases and pests affect healthy plants less than weakened ones. Controlled watering and balanced fertilizing - including foliar feeding - will help tomatoes of this variety independently resist infection.

Reviews
With reviews of tomatoes from the “Golden Raspberry Miracle” series. You can immediately discard the “professional” reviews written as a carbon copy - they, of course, contain only delight and beautifully taken photos. The rest can be divided into three groups:
- There are few wholly positive ones. The authors like the yield, resistance to late blight, taste, and wonderful appearance. They are written in a lively, non-advertising language, and their authors are not “fresh writers”. I think they should be taken into account.
- Ambiguous – the authors like the yield, but don’t like the taste. They find tomatoes too hard and not sweet enough. These reviews should definitely be taken into account.
- Negative - there are either very few ovaries or none at all. There are suspicions that their authors did something very wrong or are just making things up a little.
What conclusions can be drawn from all that has been written? Probably, Raspberry Miracle tomatoes are not always as good as in the photo and in advertising texts from Gardens of Russia. How different the reality is from advertising can only be known after several years of cultivation.
Raspberry varieties of tomatoes have long been popular among summer residents. Lately, many gardeners have heard of the Raspberry Miracle tomato seeds.
Growing rules
The Raspberry Miracle tomato varieties are suitable for cultivation in all regions of Russia where agriculture exists. It is preferable to sow the seeds first for seedlings, and only then plant them in a permanent place - in a greenhouse or open ground.
Planting seedlings
Sowing should be done in early spring - in the first ten days of March, using special containers for this. The soil should be light and fertile; a mixture of garden soil, sand, humus, peat and vegetable compost is recommended. The seeds of this tomato variety do not need to be buried; a layer of soil should cover them no more than 1 cm. The containers should be covered with glass or film and placed in a warm, bright place, the optimal temperature is 18–25 °C. The soil must be moistened every day.
With the appearance of the first true leaves (after 7–10 days), the tomato seedlings are planted in separate pots.
Advice! It is not necessary to pinch the central root; moreover, this will delay the start of fruiting by 10 days.
Tomato transplant
When the plants become stronger, they are moved to a permanent place, providing support for the stems. Tomatoes are transplanted into open ground after stable positive temperatures have established and the danger of night frosts has passed. The interval should be observed: between bushes - 60 cm, between rows - 70 cm.
Subsequent care for tomatoes
It is recommended to form Raspberry Miracle tomatoes into 2 stems; the remaining stepsons should be removed. The plant is growing rapidly, forming heavy multiple clusters, which will need to be tied up all season. Tomatoes are very demanding of moisture; drip watering at the root is preferable. To avoid the formation of a crust on the soil surface, regular loosening is recommended. It is useful to mulch the soil at the base of the plant - this helps retain moisture and provides additional nutrition to the roots. Tomatoes prefer feeding with superphosphate, peat, manure, ash; all the necessary elements are found in complex fertilizers.

Pest and disease control
It is necessary to regularly inspect tomatoes to identify diseases and harmful insects at an early stage. Timely and prompt response is the key to success in the fight against infestations. Spraying the bush and the ground around it with Bordeaux mixture, copper sulfate, and dusting with ash are effective against fungal infections. Of the chemical agents, Oxychom, Profit, Kartotsid are effective, but the biological preparations Trichodermin, Planriz, Fitolavin, Alirin B are preferable. They are able to restore soil microflora, neutralize the consequences of non-compliance with crop rotation, stimulate growth, and increase their resistance to disease.
In the fight against tomato pests, biological products Bitoxibacillin and Fitoverm are also used as a healthy alternative to insecticides. They are safe for humans, animals, beneficial insects, and at the same time affect parasites.
