The "Golden Age" variety offers the chance to grow the tomato of your dreams. The large size of the fruit amazes many beginners. Siberian breeders developed this variety.

Characteristics of a tomato

"Golden Age" is a mid-early tomato, with a harvest time of 110-115 days from germination. This variety is identitermineous and suitable for both greenhouse and open-field cultivation. It is suitable for open-field cultivation only in warm climates. In temperate climates, greenhouse cultivation is recommended. Bushes reach a height of 1-1.5 meters.

The plant's leaves are large and green, and the stem is sturdy. The inflorescence is regular, with 3-4 tomatoes forming per cluster. Each fruit averages 400 to 600 grams. The tomatoes are bright yellow with golden highlights. The interior is yellow with orange and pink hues. The fruits are oval-shaped. They are suitable for whole preservation in large containers (wooden barrels), various salads, and fresh consumption with sandwiches. The fruits are not stringy, but fleshy and delicious.

The yield per plant is 4-6 kilograms. The plant has a strong immune system, but can be susceptible to disease due to unfavorable conditions. Preventative spraying of the plants can help prevent disease.

Growing the Golden Age variety

You can get a good harvest only with proper care of the plants.

1. The seeds are sown in warm hotbeds, where they remain until transplanted into individual greenhouses or into the open ground. Plant at a depth of 1-2 cm. Water moderately to prevent the seeds from rotting from overwatering.
2. No more than three plants are planted per square meter. After planting in open ground or a greenhouse, the stems must be constantly tied to an installed arch or rods. As the ovaries develop, remove excess shoots that drain the plant's energy.
3. If yellow or diseased leaves appear, remove them. Water tomatoes infrequently but thoroughly. Hill up and loosen the soil around the roots, being careful not to damage the stems. If you grow tomatoes in a greenhouse, monitor the air temperature; if it exceeds 30 degrees Celsius, the plant will begin to die. You can reduce the temperature by ventilating the greenhouse during the day.
4. Tomatoes are fed during the planting of seedlings, as well as during the fruit formation stage.

Svetlana Georgievna:

My mother-in-law recommended the "Golden Age" tomato. For many years, I only planted red and pink tomatoes, but last year I decided to experiment. I grew tomatoes in open ground. The average fruit size was 450 grams. I harvested 4 kilograms from one bush. The tomatoes themselves are sweet and pleasant to the taste. There were so many that I had to sell them at the market.

Nikolai Vasilievich:

I've been growing tomatoes for a long time. I can say about the "Golden Age" variety that it quickly gains foliage and produces gigantic fruits. A single cluster produces 3 to 5 tomatoes. Care is the same as for any tall tomato. The main thing is to remove side shoots and tie up the stems in a timely manner. The tomato is delicious, and my family loves it.

"Golden Age" is a worthy tomato variety, its status is confirmed by its excellent taste and gigantic size.
