Description of the Amber Honey tomato variety, its pros and cons

Amber Honey is a tomato with a rich honey flavor and warm color. Its large, fleshy fruits are popular among vegetable growers and tomato connoisseurs.

Advantages of the variety

The Yantarny Med tomato is a mid-season variety. It takes 110-120 days from the emergence of seedling loops to full maturity. The variety's characteristics and description indicate that during the growing season, a short plant develops, reaching 1-1.5 m in height.

The bush's small leaves resemble potato leaves in appearance. The plant is resistant to the tobacco mosaic virus.

This variety is characterized by high yields. The tomatoes are ribbed and flattened, rounded in shape. Ripe fruits have a honey-colored hue. The fleshy pulp tastes like honey. The thin, dense skin is resistant to cracking.

A tomato weighs between 150 and 300 grams. They have a rich aroma and a sweet and sour taste. They are used fresh in cooking, in various dishes, and for canning.

Cultivation of tomatoes

It is recommended to grow this variety in a greenhouse. Depending on climate conditions, the plant can be planted outdoors.

Sow seeds for seedlings 65-60 days before planting. To ensure uniform germination, soak the seeds in a potassium permanganate solution and plant them in containers with specially prepared soil, then cover with plastic wrap until the plants emerge.

The optimal temperature for growing seedlings is 22 to 25°C. Young shoots require additional lighting. An electric lamp can be used to extend daylight hours.

In this case, it is recommended to reduce the temperature to +18-20 °C, and after a week to raise it to +22 °C. After the formation of 2 true leaves, the plant is pricked out and transplanted into separate pots.

Harden off the plants a couple of weeks before transplanting. After six leaves have formed, transfer them to a greenhouse or open ground. Plant the tomatoes in a 30x50 cm pattern.

As the bush grows, two stems form. During the growing season, tomatoes require fertilizer. Therefore, the root system is periodically fertilized with complex preparations.

To increase crop yield, soil mulching is recommended. Agronomic practices include periodic soil loosening and regular watering.

Recommendations and opinions of vegetable growers

Reviews from vegetable growers point to the versatility of tomatoes and their bright, rich flavor.

Evgeniya Dobrolyubova, 57 years old, Volgograd:

"I've been growing tomatoes in a greenhouse for many years, so I often experiment with different varieties. I heard positive reviews from friends about the 'Amber Honey' tomato. They noted the delicate flavor of the fleshy fruit and how easy it is to care for. I bought some seeds and planted them in pots.

After transplanting, the plants gained strength, and in mid-May, I transplanted the planting material into the ground. I mulched the soil under the bushes with a special fiber. It's convenient because it distributes moisture evenly and allows air to reach the roots. The result was amazing; I managed to harvest a good crop of honey berries."

Anatoly Antonov, 62 years old, Pyatigorsk:

"I was talking to my neighbors at my dacha and heard positive reviews about the Amber Honey tomato. I grew it from seed last year. I planted the seeds in mid-March, and two months later, I transplanted the resulting seedlings into the ground. The plant took root well, didn't show any signs of illness, and over the course of the growing season, bushes grew to a height of just over 1 meter. I harvested a decent crop of large honey tomatoes."

Antonina Ivanova, 49 years old, Omsk:

"I planted the 'Amber Honey' tomato in the greenhouse. The plant is growing well, and the first ovaries are forming soon. The leaf is the same shape as a potato, only smaller. The fruits have a honey-like aroma and flavor."
