Tomato "Lyana": reviews, photos, and description

One of the earliest and quite high-yielding varieties. If you follow all the cultivation guidelines, you can get up to 10 kilograms of delicious, high-quality tomatoes per meter. This is a fairly early variety, with low bushes reaching approximately 35 centimeters, so it doesn't require pinching or staking. Its fruits are also small, round, bright tomato-colored, firm, and quite fleshy. This tomato is best grown on windowsills and vegetable gardens, rather than in a greenhouse, as taller varieties are better suited there. Here's what you can learn about this variety from those who have grown it.

 

 

Features of cultivation and description of the variety

 

This tomato's seeds should be grown in March in lightly compacted soil. It's a very heat-loving plant, so it's important to monitor temperature changes when growing the seeds of this wonderful variety. Many people living in cold climates grow the seeds under plastic until the first shoots appear. "Lyana" does not tolerate cold or even light frosts, so it's recommended to start this variety in a warm place and only plant it once temperatures stabilize.

The "Lyana" variety is highly resistant to various rots, cracking, and some pests. However, even robust seedlings struggle with cold. It requires not only regular fertilization, soil mineralization, ventilation, and watering, but also plenty of light, especially daylight. This will ensure you get beautiful, firm, juicy fruits with an excellent taste that will delight all tomato lovers.

 

Transplanting is done 60 days after sowing. By this time, the seedlings will have become significantly stronger; however, if the weather conditions are unfavorable or cold, the "Lyana" tomato should be planted outdoors a little earlier or later. The key is to stabilize the weather. If it becomes unstable again, you can protect the young seedlings from strong winds and cold. Therefore, "Lyana" is more suitable for warm southern climates than the Urals or Siberia.

 

The harvest can be reaped in as little as 80 days after germination. The tomatoes are bright, round, not very large, and a rich scarlet color. This early plant produces fruit for quite a long time, right up until the autumn frosts.

 

Fruit characteristics

 

There are two varieties of Lyona: the classic red and the pink. The former is more common and features round, slightly elongated fruits of a beautiful scarlet hue on a thick stem; the latter has an interesting pearly pink hue. The pink Lyona is slightly larger than the red and has a more watery flavor, like many tomatoes of this beautiful color.

The flesh of this variety is very dense with a characteristic sweet, tart flavor. It can be used in salads, sandwiches, and canapés with various combinations of ham, cheese, and tomatoes. It slices beautifully with a sharp knife and pairs well with herbs and various vegetables. The pink variety has a more watery texture. Its flesh is more fibrous and is better suited for tomatoes, tomato pastes, and juices. This variety can be eaten both fresh and canned.

 

This tomato variety has a medium-firm skin. The red variety is less suitable for canning than the pink variety. Red tomatoes are best eaten fresh or used in sandwiches and various cuts for the table. This variety will appeal to those who dislike tomatoes with a tart taste. Furthermore, "Lyana" is well-tolerated by those with stomach and intestinal ailments, and it contains a large amount of vitamins, niacin, and other beneficial substances. This variety is also very convenient for long-term storage and transportation.
