What you need to know about this plant

The characteristics and description of the tomato Your Majesty are as follows:

1. The plant grows to a height of 180–190 cm. Due to the heavy weight of the fruit, it is recommended to tie the bushes to supports or trellises.
2. Your Majesty ripens in 108-120 days. The fruits ripen almost simultaneously on all bushes. This makes harvesting easier.
3. The fruits are lemon or yellow in color. They are quite juicy, sweet in taste, and have firm flesh with a honey-like flavor (though a slight acidity is also noticeable).
4. The fruit is heart-shaped. The average berry weight is 0.3–0.35 kg. Farmer reviews of this tomato indicate that many people manage to grow fruits weighing up to 0.5 kg.

The "Your Majesty" tomato yield is quite high, reaching 12 to 15 kg per square meter. In open ground, the yield reaches 10-12 kg per square meter.

The variety's resistance to many diseases, such as late blight, plays a major role.

Your Majesty can tolerate extreme heat, lack of moisture, or excess moisture. According to gardeners, ovaries appear on this tomato plant in any weather.

Farmers appreciate the plant's undemanding nature, which produces high yields in virtually any soil.

When growing tomatoes in a greenhouse, it's recommended to regularly ventilate the room. Although tomatoes can withstand heat, if the grower isn't careful, prolonged high temperatures in the greenhouse can reduce yield by approximately 30-40%.

Growing the variety

To grow this tomato, seeds are sown 45-55 days before planting. They are first treated with potassium permanganate or another protective solution. After 2-3 leaves appear on the seedlings, they are pricked out.

The seedlings should be placed under special lamps to ensure constant light. Then, for 1–1.5 weeks, the seedlings are hardened off by being brought outside.

Plants should be planted in well-loosened soil. Before planting, dig holes 8-10 cm deep into the beds. Add organic fertilizer (manure or peat) to the holes, then place the seedlings in their proper positions. Afterward, water the soil generously. Once the seedlings begin to set, fertilize them with a complex fertilizer.

It's recommended to regularly hill the beds and water the bushes. Although the plant can thrive in unfavorable conditions, it's best not to overuse this quality of the variety. It is necessary to remove stepchildren in a timely manner, pinch off growth points on the bushes, and remove leaves located below these points.

The bushes are trained into 2 or 3 stems. Due to the tall growth of the plant and the heavy weight of the berries, the branches of the bushes must be tied to sturdy supports. Ignoring this rule can result in a lost harvest, as the large number of fruits on the bushes can cause the branches to break.

To ensure normal growth, no more than three bushes are planted per square meter. This ensures a good harvest, as the bushes do not shade each other.

Despite the Your Majesty variety's good resistance to various diseases, it is recommended to treat the plant's leaves with appropriate chemicals. This will protect the farmer from any unexpected problems. If tomato plants are attacked by various garden pests, the bushes are pollinated with special medicinal products or folk remedies are used for protection.
