Azoychka Tomato

I planted an Azoychka tomato plant for the first time in the spring of 2023. My wife, who has trouble with the acidity of red tomatoes, quickly fell in love with these tomatoes. They have a flavor similar to a red tomato but the acidity level of the Azoychka does not trouble her as a red tomato does. The plants are hardy. I managed to keep an Azoychka alive and producing over the winter in a new greenhouse while the other three tomato varieties in the greenhouse all succumbed to our greenhouse learning curve.

I've been sampling additional tomatoes from two pants, getting more production, and observing the next round of fruit that will be coming due in another month or so. I wanted to provide pictures to show how yellow in color these are - they are quite stunning. More yellow than Victory's picture. Even as ripe as these can get, they offer a good amount of tomato flavor upfront but finish with a unique and wonderful lemon flavor. A lemon flavor that makes me cheeks quench a bit. I quite like the uniqueness of this tomato. This is not one of those fruity sweet yellow tomatoes in my opinion. If you like acidic/lemon tasting tomatoes, this one is for you. I'll grow next year based on what I've seen so far. No disease issues, the plant is strong and keeps setting fruit. Thanks for carrying this one.

We tasted our first Azoychka this morning. Victory's description is completely accurate regarding the size, color, and taste. Glad I planted two of these. Fruit began to be set in late May, not a substantial amount compared to other heirlooms in my garden but decent. I'm hoping for a more productive end of the season when the weather cools down a bit. Overall, this is a nice tomato, with classic red tomato flavors. Great texture, not too firm, not too soft. Very yellow, cannot say I've grown a tomato with such a vibrant yellow color. So far, our best tasting tomato of 2024. Will likely grow again next year depending on overall production.

I've never liked tomatoes, and I've heard it said that that's because I was eating store bought tomatoes, but even when I grew my own I just didn't like tomatoes... Red tomatoes that is. The first Azoychka I picked I cut and ate and it didn't taste like what tomatoes normally taste like, then I sprinkled a little salt on it and now I have changed my mind, no longer do I hate tomatoes, I really like them. At least this one. I am growing some others this year, but the Azoychka seeds had really good germination rates, had good production, and most importantly taste really good. It really isn't a huge difference in taste from the different red tomatoes I've grown as several people I gave them to didn't really say they tasted different but I know my mindset went from just growing tomatoes for fun and give away to growing them for me to have some for myself. Azoychka aren't tiny tomatoes and they aren't enormous, they are just right in their size, and it will be a keeper variety for me from here on out.

I have had great success with this tomato-so pretty with good flavor. Can split if the weather turns wet earlier than expected.

An Indeterminate Tomato that delivers large fruit all season from Late Spring to Late Fall in the cool damp conditions of the Southern Oregon Coast. I have never found a Tomato plant as good as this one for growing on an ocean cliff. The flavor and texture is scrumptious ... makes good sauce and the best huge sandwich slices.

We've grown this for last 4 years maybe longer. Bought the seeds when VSC first started offering it. It is easy to grow, did well in poor soil, didn't have problem with damping off or blossom end rot. Tolerance to aphids were about average. Fruit size were bigger than the 5 oz stated in they were wonderful in salad with lots of flavor. We even made yellow orange pasta sauce out of it and it was amazing. Concentrated flavor is so good, the sauce didn't need any pinch of sugar to sweeten it. Very mild. It's our favorite yellow tomato. Thank you Victory seeds!!

A lovely tomato. Fun to share with friends. Nice firm yet tender. Balanced flavor. Started producing about 60 days. Tends to crack a bit.Will plant next year. I did provide lattice shade.
