I am really, really liking this tomato! Large, (3 inches) light yellow in color.I found it to be just mildly tangy, with a nice touch of sweetness. I couldn\'t detect any of the fruity overtones, that this tomato is known for, but possibly just my taste buds. I find this a very nicely flavored tomato and used it for salads, slicing and sandwiches. I found it to be just an all around good tomato that I could use with whatever I was making that day. Not very seedy. \r\n\r\nThe big pro of this tomato is it\'s productivity. I had fruit ripen very early in the season, especially for a larger sized tomato. It just kept pumping out tomatoes clear through the growing season, right up until the time my vines froze. The second pro is it\'s appearance. It\'s simply a nice looking tomato! This one was planted at the same time as my other full sized tomatoes, but produced weeks before all of them, excluding Tsindao. Azoychka is another tomato which originated in Siberia, which makes it very tolerant of the coolish weather where I live at. \r\n\r\nI grew this tomato in a 20 gallon pot, staked with bamboo stakes/jute twine. I do not prune my tomatoes. \r\n\r\nI had no pest or disease problems. \r\n\r\nDue to it\'s taste and productivity, I will

Sturdy tomato vine with solid yellow fruit. It grew well with minimal sun. However, it\'s not sweet, which I thought it was supposed to be. The tangy flavor was not for me.

Like others, this was a freebie for me when I ordered other tomato seeds. I almost didn't bother with it, but am very happy I did. Wonderful yields starting early, even in my northern garden, great flavor. I love using it for salsa with red tomatoes. This is one of my very favorite tomatoes out of the 24+ varieties I grew last year.

It grew ok in Northern VA but it was not my taste. I got it as a free pack but it was too tart for me to call a favorite.

Roberts, South Dakota, United States

This yellow tomatoe really impressed me on taking heat, drought and still produced a large crop of very acidic and clean tomatoe flavored fruits. Germination is easy. The seedlings adapt well and their early scent on the leaves almost seemed pineapple on mine. My variety from Totally Tomatoes ripened exactly on time and had a little red blush on the blossom end about the size of a flower. The fruits kept well and I liked them as a change of pace from Big Boys as they have a lighter flavor. This variety is on my permanent growing list.

Early tomato, keeps setting fruit. Taste is on the tongue of the beholder--kind of tart and zingy. If you like that (and many folks do) you will really like Azoychka.
