Sweet varieties of yellow tomatoes

Every gardener wants to grow a delicious and bountiful tomato harvest. Yellow tomatoes are considered some of the sweetest, with a distinctive flavor and juicy flesh. We've compiled a selection of the sweetest yellow tomatoes, suitable for both open ground and greenhouse cultivation, based on gardener reviews. Each variety has its own growing characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages, so choose the one that suits you best and get planting.

Tomato varieties for the Central region

In the Smolensk, Tula, Moscow, and other regions within the Central Region, yellow varieties can be grown both in open ground and under plastic. Most well-known varieties are zoned for a mild climate, so yields remain stable and don't deteriorate. If the primary goal is to produce as many tomatoes as possible, agronomists recommend planting seedlings under plastic cover. Transplanting plants into a greenhouse is done between April and May, while outdoor varieties are typically planted no earlier than May. If planted too early, young plants, even those with high frost resistance, can be damaged by sudden temperature changes.

Yellow giant

The Yellow Giant tomato variety is known for its excellent taste and high yield. This variety is often found in Moscow region and outside the Moscow region. It's suitable for growing in greenhouses, but in warm springs, you can try planting tomatoes outdoors. The bushes are tall: at least 1.2 m long, usually 1.5-1.6 m. This variety got its unusual name due to the impressive size of its fruits. Each tomato can weigh up to 300-400 g. The flesh is meaty, very juicy, and sweet, with virtually no tartness.

The Yellow Giant's primary use is fresh consumption. It's not ideal for pickling due to its size, but it can be used to make tomato juice or puree. The ripening period is somewhat extended, with approximately 120 days from germination to harvest. Tomatoes then continue to appear until late summer and even early fall. The yield is 5-6 kg per bush.

The advantages of the Yellow Giant include:

• fruit size;
• excellent taste;
• high productivity;
• correct form;
• unpretentiousness in cultivation.

Among the disadvantages, gardeners note poor shelf life and a short shelf life. The variety exhibits insufficient resistance to late blight and requires regular treatment with fungicides.

Beam

This variety was developed specifically for the Central Black Earth Region in 1999. Since its introduction, Luch has received numerous positive reviews from gardeners due to its easy-to-grow characteristics. This determinate plant grows up to 1 meter tall and is primarily planted outdoors, but can also be grown in a greenhouse. Fruits appear 105-110 days after germination. The tomatoes have an unusual shape, slightly elongated with a pointed tip. Each tomato weighs 50-60 grams, making it ideal for canning.

Gardeners grow Luch tomatoes for pickling and salting, but the fruits are also suitable for salads and other dishes due to their pleasant sweet flavor. The tomatoes have excellent immune properties, and are resistant to late blight, powdery mildew, and rot.

The advantages of Luch are presented below:

• good frost resistance;
• mid-early harvest period;
• high taste characteristics;
• versatility of fruits;

One drawback of Luch is its low yield. When grown outdoors, the yield barely reaches 2 kg per plant. To increase yield, fertilize or grow the variety in a greenhouse.

This indeterminate mid-season variety takes 110 days to ripen. The plants grow tall, reaching 150 cm in length. Staking is essential, otherwise the stems will break under the weight of the fruit.

Varieties for the Northern Region and Siberia

For regions with cold springs and late summers, agronomists recommend growing tomatoes under plastic. There are varieties suitable for open ground, with high frost resistance and a late fruiting period, but they should not be planted before early May.
