Description of the variety
Tomato bushes are indeterminate. The height of the plant reaches 2 m. There can be 6 - 8 fruits on one brush. The ripening of the crop occurs already on the 105th day from the moment of planting. The leaf mass is well developed. During the flowering period, 30 inflorescences can form on one bush. The quality of the crop is affected by the frequency of fertilizing. On average, you can collect 10 kg of juicy fruits from one bush.
Ripe fruits weigh from 200 to 400 g. The shape of the vegetables is round with a heart-shaped end. The volume and external contours of a ripe tomato are affected by watering and the amount of mineral supplements.
The color of tomatoes is bright yellow. The pulp is dense with fleshy veins. Large fruits do not contain seeds inside. The skin of tomatoes is thin. The harvested crop can be stored for one month subject to temperature conditions. Fleshy fruits do not lend themselves to long-term transportation.
The stem of the plant is powerful. To prevent the bush from losing its fertility, pinching is carried out. To do this, tomatoes form 2 stems. They are able to withstand more than 10 kg of ripe harvest.
Features of planting and care
The seedling method of cultivation is often used. Seeds are sown in advance; each vegetable grower calculates the timing independently, depending on the weather conditions of the region. The age of seedlings transplanted to a permanent place should be 60 days.
Techniques for growing seedlings:
- Lighting and temperature. For normal growth of seedlings, light is required at least 14 hours a day. Air temperature 20–22 ⁰С.
- Watering. Drying or waterlogging of the soil is not allowed.
- Feeding. To form a powerful stem and root system, complex fertilizers are used to stimulate growth.
- Dive at phase 2 of the true leaf.
- The seedlings are hardened off 1–2 weeks before transferring to the soil. Take it out into the open air. First for 15–20 minutes, then increase to 8–10 hours.
Place 3 plants per 1m2 on the beds. Summer residents recommend forming a bush with 2–3 stems; the growth point is removed when the bush is 1–1.5 m in height. Water as needed. The water used is warm.

Mulching and loosening the beds will help retain moisture in the soil longer. Removing weeds will help avoid the development of diseases and attacks by insect pests.
Diseases and pests
Average resistance to diseases and pests of a particular tomato variety does not mean that difficulties will necessarily arise during cultivation. Experienced summer residents know that any, even the most complex problem can be avoided, what is needed for this:
- remove all plant debris from the beds after harvesting;
- alternate crops correctly;
- monitor the composition and condition of the soil;
- sow green manure;
- Plant suitable repellent plants next to the tomatoes.
If initial signs of any disease are detected, treatment should be started immediately.
Use in home cooking, yield volume
The variety Your Majesty is used for any type of winter preparations. They are not suitable only for whole canning. Summer residents recommend making juice, dressing or salads from it. The unusual color of tomatoes makes them indispensable in preparing assorted vegetables. When fresh, it performs well in salads and as a table decoration.
If you follow the requirements and planting rules, 1 plant will yield 2–3 kg of tomatoes. Productivity is increased by proper formation of the bush and tying plants to supports.
Landing
Your Majesty's tomatoes are planted in mid-May. During this time, the soil can warm up to 10 degrees. Young plants quickly rehabilitate in a new place.
Growing seedlings
The Your Majesty tomato is grown using seed material. It is pre-planted in separate containers to obtain seedlings. The seeds of this tomato variety are sown 70 days before planting in open ground. For 1 sq. m 4 bushes are planted.
The seeds are soaked in an antiseptic solution for one day. After this, they are planted in a previously prepared container. Particular attention is paid to the soil substrate. It is calcined in the oven for 30 minutes at a temperature of 180 degrees. This allows you to avoid the occurrence of fungal infections during the cultivation of planting material.
The container with seeds needs additional lighting. For this purpose, light modules are used. They are located next to the seedlings. Watering the seedlings is carried out as the soil substrate dries.
Landing in the ground
When the seedlings reach a length of 10 cm, they can be planted in open ground. Seedlings are pre-hardened 7 days before planting in a new location. Initially, the seedlings should be kept outside the enclosed space for 20 minutes. After this, the time interval is gradually increased to 12 hours. Tomatoes should be planted during a period when the temperature outside is 16 degrees.
The soil is first dug up and fertilized with mineral fertilizer compounds. The width between the rows should be 30 cm. This will allow free movement during watering, tying the bush and harvesting.
Positive and negative characteristics of the species
Tomatoes have positive and negative sides. Each summer resident reasons differently, so for some the presence of one sign is good, but for another it is bad.
Pros:
- Stable high yield.
- Unusual taste.
- Versatility when using tomatoes.
- The bushes bear fruit for a long time.
Minuses:
- Susceptible to diseases.
- Requires formation.
- The tomatoes are cracking.
What you need to know about this plant
The characteristics and description of the Your Majesty tomato are as follows:
- The bush of the plant reaches a height of 180-190 cm. Due to the large weight of the fruit, it is recommended to tie the bushes to supports or trellises.
- Your Majesty matures in 108-120 days. The fruits ripen almost simultaneously on all bushes. This makes harvesting easier.
- The fruits are lemon or yellow in color. They are quite juicy, sweet in taste, have dense pulp with a taste of honey (although the presence of a certain amount of acid is also felt).
- The shape of the fruit resembles a heart. The average weight of the berry reaches 0.3-0.35 kg. Feedback from farmers about this tomato shows that many people manage to grow fruits weighing up to 0.5 kg.
Your Majesty's tomato yield is quite high. It reaches from 12 to 15 kg per 1 m². In open ground, the yield reaches 10-12 kg from the specified area.
The resistance of the variety to many diseases, for example, late blight, plays an important role.
Your Majesty can tolerate extreme heat, lack of moisture or excess moisture. According to gardeners, ovaries appear on the bushes of this tomato in any weather.
Farmers appreciate the unpretentiousness of the plant, which produces high yields on almost any soil.
When growing in a greenhouse, it is recommended to ventilate the room on time. Although the tomato can withstand heat, if the farmer is not careful, the presence of high temperatures in the greenhouse for a long time leads to a reduction in yield by about 30-40%.

Fans of large-fruited tomatoes will appreciate Your Majesty for its unusual taste.
II. Indeterminate varieties (unlimited growth)
These are tomatoes that will grow until they turn blue until the owner or the onset of the cold season stops them. They have great yield potential, which is more successfully realized in high greenhouses. We place approximately three bushes on 1 square. With supports such as strong trellises, open ground is not prohibited, which will be especially welcome in the southern regions.
Tomato Scarlet candles
Good for pickling, sweet. This is a patented mid-early variety (Siberian breeders distinguished themselves!). In the state register since 2007. They are characterized by a high ability to form ovaries in any conditions. From 1 sq.m you can actually get a bucket and a half. The clusters are arranged in tiers, the weight of the fruit on the lower branches reaches 120 g, on the top ones - half as much.
Very lightweight. A mid-early Siberian variety for canning whole vegetables. The fruits are elongated, reaching (maximum in our conditions) 13-14 cm in length, weighing about 120 g, and have a beautiful crimson hue. They have few seeds, are very fleshy, strong, and easy to keep. If they are picked green, they do not spoil and ripen perfectly. The variety is very responsive to high-quality fertilizing.
The longest
A new product of Siberian selection. It begins to ripen already on the 110th (you can add a couple more) days from the sprouts appearing on the surface of the soil. Fruits have a unique length - 20 cm (specific size)! They are very elongated, with a small pear-shaped constriction in the upper part, uniformly slightly expanding downwards, with a spout.
High yield
The variety is productive and unpretentious. Tolerates slight shading. It ties well. Neither high nor low temperatures are scary. It succeeds in protected soil, but outdoor cultivation is not prohibited. Tomatoes begin to ripen in 106-113 days; at the same time, the plant successfully continues to grow and form clusters - up to 10 pieces per bush.
Each bears up to eight graceful fruits - cylindrical and pointed, in full ripeness - iridescent pink in color. The weight of each vegetable is 100-120 g. They contain a high percentage of sugars and dry matter. They do not burst when pickled, are good for drying, obtaining thick juice and, oddly enough in your opinion, for making tomato jam. With diligent care, the bush can bear up to a bucket of quality fruit.
Tomato Niagara
Weighty brushes
This mid-early vegetable variety has been on the state register since 2010. The bush is tall, but compact in width. It has a highly branched root system, responsive to increased nutrition and good water supply. A valuable feature of this Siberian variety is its multiple clusters, each of which bears up to 14 fruits weighing 85-115 g.
Meaty and sweet
This is one of the sweetest and meatiest products of Siberian breeders. It has been registered in the state register since 2007. The tomato is mid-season (116-118 days from the appearance of sprouts), with large foliage. The fruits resemble long, sharp peppers - they grow up to 15 cm. They are an elegant red color, the weight ranges from 120-185 g. The pulp of vegetables contains very little water and seeds. In the best case, there are up to a dozen fruits in one cluster. One bush gives 2-3 kg.
Tomato Koenigsberg
Excellent ovary
Included in the state register in 2005. The variety rightfully takes its place among the most productive Siberian varieties (up to 20 kg per square meter of land in a greenhouse). It sets perfectly even in the hot atmosphere of closed ground. Plants with a powerful bush with large leaves require increased nutrition and careful pinching.
The first ovary is formed after the growth of the 12th leaf, then inflorescences are formed every 3 leaves. Refers to varieties of medium ripening; in Siberian conditions, approximately half of the crop ripens; the rest of the fruits turn red quite well when ripened. Tomatoes in the lower clusters of vegetables weigh 300 g, and in those above - no less than 150 g. The shape is elongated, heart-shaped, smooth, and beautiful.
Vitamin and sweet
Ripe tomatoes have a golden-orange color and contain a record amount of carotene vitamins. The pulp is sweet and aromatic, like berries and fruits. The ripening period is average. The lower fruits are capable of filling up to a mass of 400-450 g, higher up the bush - 200-300 g. They are oval, often with a spout. The plants grow clusters through the leaves, each containing on average, as stated, up to 5 fruits. Productivity is high. The keeping quality is excellent. It is especially tasty when salted with gelatin.
Harvest hearts
Close internodes and a powerful trunk with dense foliage are like standard varieties, only the height is two meters. The Siberian breeding novelty produces half a bucket of fruit from one such “tree”. Ripening begins on the 115th day. Forms up to 6 beautiful clusters with 5-7 red tomatoes weighing 200-250 grams, shaped like strawberries.
Tomato Budenovka
Resistant to cracking
The variety is an improved version of Ox Heart, with a higher yield (about 9.4 kg per square), early ripening, good resistance to diseases (even to late blight) and cracking of the apical tissue of the fruit for a fleshy variety. Heart-shaped, ribbed tomatoes with excellent taste.
Record weight
The variety is a new product from a team of breeding scientists under the leadership of V.F. Gavrisha. Registered in the state register in 2015. Due to the unrealistically large fruits of vegetables, it is included in the “Russian Hero” series. The variety is not very fast in terms of ripening time (from 120 days), therefore it requires early planting of seedlings, especially careful pinching and decent feeding.
In Siberia and Central Russia it works well only in closed ground conditions, including a greenhouse. The average return from a bush is 3.6 (plus or minus) kg, the record is 7 kg. The tomatoes are flat-round, slightly ribbed, have an excellent smell and are very juicy, each weighing 400-600 g, not uncommon - 800 g. There are 2-3 tomatoes in one cluster of plants; if you leave only one tomato in it, it can pull more than 1 kg. Such “bogatyrs” are better suited for salads and distillation for juice.
Bowl of salad from one fruit
One of the best salad novelties, the yield is high. The plant bears 5-6 racemes. The fruits look very attractive due to their raspberry-pink color, large up to 500-800 g. The tomatoes are flat-round, ribbed, sweet. There is high resistance to cracking; The pulp density is average. A rare quality for large-fruited varieties: the fruits do not tend to quickly soften and spoil during storage.
According to the ripening period, the variety is classified as mid-early and mid-ripe. Perfect for preparing preparations: tomato paste, juice. This tomato variety is characterized by high yield. You can remove up to 5-6 kilograms of tomatoes from one bush.
Giant orange sweet
It has plasticity, rare for a large-fruited variety, and relative unpretentiousness. Delicate sweet pulp combines with excellent keeping quality. The tomatoes are round-flat (their “ribs” stand out a little), sunny orange in color. The average weight of a tomato is 0.5 kg, but in reality there are 1 kg of fruit on the bush.
