Azoychka Heirloom Tomato Seeds

Brighten your summer harvest with Azoychka, a Russian heirloom bearing lemon-yellow tomatoes with a rich, fruity flavor and a refreshing tang. The smooth, slightly flattened fruits have meaty, juicy flesh that shines in fresh slices, colorful salads, and garden sandwiches.

Why Grow Azoychka?

• Sunny yellow slicers: Round-to-oblate fruits bring beautiful color to the plate.
• Fruity flavor with a tang: Enjoy a balanced combination of sweetness and bright tomato flavor, without a low-acidity guarantee.
• Meaty, juicy texture: Excellent for fresh eating, sandwiches, and caprese-style salads.
• Relatively early beefsteak: Approximately 65–75 days from transplant, depending on seed selection and growing conditions.
• Indeterminate vines: Provide sturdy support for continued vine growth and fruiting during favorable weather.
• Open-pollinated heirloom: A Russian variety with a place in the home vegetable garden.

Planting and Growing

Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before your intended transplant date. Sow approximately ¼ inch deep in seed-starting mix, provide warmth for germination, and give seedlings strong light. Harden off gradually before transplanting outdoors after frost danger has passed and conditions have warmed.

Choose full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Install a sturdy stake, cage, or trellis at planting time. Water consistently at soil level and mulch to help conserve moisture. Maintain airflow while leaving enough foliage to shade developing fruit.

For square foot gardening, use 1 plant per sq ft (trellis required) with dedicated vertical training and regular pruning. Allow more space for caged or multi-stemmed plants.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Azoychka a low-acid tomato?

Its flavor can taste sweet and fruity, but flavor does not establish measured acidity. This listing does not promise low acidity.

Is Azoychka determinate?

No. It is indeterminate, so plan for continuing vine growth and provide a sturdy stake, cage, or trellis.

Will every fruit be the same size?

No. Fruit size varies with seed selection, fruit load, and growing conditions. Expect medium-to-large yellow slicers rather than one guaranteed weight.
