What is a Millionaire?
The description of the variety says that the tomato fruits are dark pink, round-flat, juicy. Thanks to their rapid ripening, tomatoes are often used for salads and tomato juice. The weight of individual fruits can vary from 300 to 800 g. The height of the bushes reaches 2.5 m and requires mandatory garter. Tomato stems are powerful and dark green in color.
The variety tolerates hot weather well. During periods of drought, the Millionaire tomato fruits do not crack.
With proper care, the yield from 1 bush can reach 15-20 kg.
Features of cultivation and care
These varietal tomatoes are grown in soil with low acidity, containing a significant amount of oxygen. Ready-made land can be purchased at a specialized retail outlet. The soil must be sufficiently moist.
The tomato bush should be tied up immediately after the plant has been planted in a permanent place, and the bush is tied to each individual support using synthetic materials that prevent rotting processes.
Propagation of the crop is carried out by seed and seedlings. Watering the plant is carried out at the root in copious amounts.
Watering
The time for sowing seeds for seedlings is considered to be the beginning of April. It is necessary to place soil into the prepared container, which has previously undergone the following types of treatment:
- steaming;
- disinfection.
Note. Seed material can be disinfected using a low concentration potassium permanganate solution. It is permissible to treat seeds with growth stimulants.
When planting at a depth of two centimeters, a distance between bushes of 2 centimeters should be maintained. After planting, water the soil with heated water and cover with polyethylene material. Thanks to increased moisture formation, plants will germinate in a shorter time. The planting area should be abundantly illuminated by the sun. The average temperature required for tomato plantings is +22°C.
The film cover is removed after most of the seedlings have sprouted.
Picking into 300-ml containers is carried out after germination of 2 leaves. Fertilization of plantings is carried out several times using mineral fertilizer. Tomato bushes should be watered infrequently, with heated water. To harden seedlings, 2 weeks before transplanting them to a permanent place in a greenhouse or an open ridge, it is necessary to periodically open the windows if the weather outside is good.
Note! Tomato seedlings are planted 57 days after sowing the seeds.
Important! It is necessary to plant tomatoes in a greenhouse two weeks earlier than in an open garden.
Important! It is necessary to plant tomatoes in a greenhouse two weeks earlier than in an open bed. Before planting, the soil must be disinfected, warmed and fertilized with a complex of useful substances based on phosphorus. Before planting, the soil must be disinfected, warmed and fertilized with a complex of useful substances based on phosphorus.
Before planting, the soil must be disinfected, warmed and fertilized with a complex of useful substances based on phosphorus.
Loosening and fertilizing activities are carried out once every 2 weeks.
Weeds are removed as they grow. The plant needs to be pruned every 10 days.
Important! To avoid deformation of the bush, the removed shoots should be less than 4 centimeters in length
Selection of containers for growing
To obtain high yields from liana-type tomato plantings, during the preparation of seedlings, special attention should be paid not only to the germination of part of the shoot, but also to the development of the root system. Interesting fact. The physicist himself, the creator of this hybrid, since the 1980s of the last century, in a number of his publications, taught gardeners how to competently grow the root system of tomato plantings

Interesting fact. Since the 1980s of the last century, the physicist himself, the creator of this hybrid, has taught gardeners how to competently grow the root system of tomato plantings in a number of his publications.
For healthy development of tomato seedlings, it is necessary to choose a tall rather than wide planting container. Tarasenko himself recommended making a pot for planting tomatoes from polyethylene film material. The calculated height should be 24 centimeters, and the diameter of the roll should be 5 centimeters. The first step is to tuck the bottom and pour soil enriched with useful elements on top. The sprout, planted to the cotyledon leaf, is placed on a well-lit windowsill. During germination, the lower part should be unscrewed and pulled up, after which soil should be added as growth continues.

Tomato Sweet Million - many, many cherry tomatoes from each bush
The neat fruits of cherry tomatoes, distinguished by their sweet taste and compact size, become the main decoration of the table. They can be picked from the bush as they ripen and eaten as berries or pickled whole. It is much more convenient to collect such small tomatoes not individually, but in whole bunches. With the small-fruited Sweet Million variety, this has become possible, because small cherry tomatoes are poured into the bunch evenly and ripen almost at the same time.
Characteristics of the tomato variety Sweet Million
Sweet Million is a variety of early ripening cherry tomatoes. From the moment of mass emergence of seedlings until the harvesting of the first harvest, 95–100 days pass. The variety is suitable for cultivation in various regions of the country under film covers. The plant exhibits resistance to tobacco mosaic virus and late blight. Its marketable yield is 4.8–7 kg/m2. The tomato is intended for fresh consumption, preparing salads and whole-fruit canning.
The fruit clusters of the Sweet Million tomato variety look more like berries than tomatoes
The Sweet Million tomato was included in the State Register of Breeding Achievements of the Russian Federation in 2001. The production of its seeds is carried out by Agrofirm Aelita LLC.
Appearance of the bush and fruits
The Sweet Million tomato forms a medium-sized indeterminate bush. Its leaves are medium in size and green in color. The first inflorescences form above the 8th or 9th leaf. Then they are laid after 1–2 sheets.
The clusters contain up to 20 small fruits of round shape and sweet taste. On the outside they are covered with thin and shiny skin. Ripe tomatoes weigh about 15–20 g and have a bright red color, containing 2–3 seed chambers inside.
Each cluster contains up to 20 small, ripening tomatoes.
Advantages and disadvantages of the Sweet Million tomato
The main advantages of the Sweet Million variety are:
- early ripeness;
- excellent taste;
- uniformity of fruit size;
- excellent presentation;
- high fruit set;
- the presence of immunity to late blight and tobacco mosaic virus;
- friendly ripening of fruits within the cluster: filling of tomatoes in the upper and lower parts of one cluster is completed almost simultaneously;
- compactness of the bush and fruit clusters;
- the possibility of using seeds as seed material in the future (Sweet Million is not a hybrid);
- universal purpose.
The main disadvantage of the variety is its tallness. It requires tying plants to supports. Bushes also require formation using the pinching method.

Features of growing and planting the Sweet Million tomato
The timing of sowing seeds for seedlings must be calculated so that at the time of planting the age of the seedlings is 60–65 days, and each bush has from 5 to 7 true leaves. Seedlings are planted in a greenhouse according to a 50x60 cm pattern, placing no more than 3 bushes on each square meter of beds.
Tomatoes need to be provided with good care, which consists of regular watering with warm, settled water and weeding. As the soil compacts, it needs to be loosened.
It is recommended to fertilize plants every 2 weeks starting from the 10th day after they are planted in a permanent place. Complex fertilizers Kemira Lux, Kristalon tomato or Zdraven turbo for tomatoes and peppers are suitable for this. They contain a moderate amount of nitrogen and a lot of phosphorus and potassium - the main substances that tomatoes need during the fruiting period. The first 2 fertilizing should be done with a solution prepared from 10 liters of water and 15 g of fertilizer, then you need to take twice as much fertilizer (30 g) per bucket of water. Each bush needs 2–3 liters of solution.
Complex nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium fertilizer Kristalon tomato is highly soluble in water
Gardeners have noticed that the greatest yield can be obtained by forming plants into 3 or 4 stems. To do this, the first 2–3 stepsons are left with them, and the rest are removed. At the end of the growing season, the growing point of each stem is pinched so that the remaining fruits on them have time to fill. Timely collection of clusters with ripe cherry tomatoes stimulates the ripening of tomatoes on other clusters.

Reviews about Sweet Million
This year I planted Sweet Million cherry tomatoes. I saw these seeds in Perekrestok for only 8 rubles and couldn’t resist. The seeds sprouted very quickly and amicably, there were an awful lot of seedlings, so I gave away almost all of them and kept a couple of them for myself to see what would happen. The bush grew very tall - about 2 meters. It looks more like some kind of vine. The branches are thin, crawl onto neighboring plants and cling to them, and there are small tomatoes on the branches. I love cherry tomatoes, but in general this variety is not for everyone, because not everyone likes to mess with these “peas”. These tomatoes can be prepared for the winter, and I freeze them whole - very convenient.

The Sweet Million tomato has good germination and uniform yield. Sweet, good both fresh and prepared. Small canned cherry tomatoes will decorate any prepared dish.

I read reviews on the Internet about wonderful cherry tomatoes, beautiful and tasty. I was purposefully looking for the seeds of these tomatoes to plant. The packaging was impressive, the picture was pleasing to the eye... As a result: huge vines grew, with abundant flowering, very scanty bunches appeared, on which tomatoes the size of a pea hang, I am not at all downplaying the truth, peas are smaller than quiche-mish grapes. Despite good germination and growth, the result was disappointing. I don’t know what to blame, perhaps it was the heat that was in the Kuban this year, but the tomatoes were bursting for some unknown reason, the watering was moderate, the bushes were not flooded. And what didn’t burst didn’t please me with its taste.

Video review of growing Sweet Million tomatoes in buckets
Sweet Million is a cherry tomato variety that differs from other small-fruited tomatoes in the uniform ripening of its fruits. However, the unlimited growth of the bush requires not only its formation, but also regular application of fertilizers. Without fertilizing, the fruits will be so small that they will resemble in size not “cherries” (cherries), but peas.
Growing Tips
To get a good harvest, you should follow some recommendations.
When growing this variety, it is not advisable to use fresh manure as a fertilizer, since the plant will begin to “fatten”: powerful stems and large leaves will appear. Due to this, the fruits will be small, and their formation and growth will begin to slow down.
To increase the number of fruits, gardeners often break off the most powerful leaves of the plant. At the same time, you should not remove the maximum number of leaves, especially if the plant is grown in greenhouse conditions, because they are necessary to provide the fruit with nutrients. Therefore, during the development of the plant, only diseased and yellowed leaves should be removed.
After the fruits are fully formed and filled, the leaves located on the lower clusters can be removed. As the tomatoes ripen, you can pick off the leaves under each ripe cluster, but no more than 2-3 leaves per week.
Also, do not forget about removing stepsons, since because of them you can lose a significant part of the harvest.
In cloudy weather, the flowering process is delayed. To improve fruit set, you need to spray tomato bushes with a 0.02% boric acid solution. If the weather does not improve, then after 2-3 days you need to re-treat the bushes.
Tomatoes should be watered rarely, but abundantly. After each watering, you need to hill up the bushes and loosen the soil between the rows, since without this the root system will not be able to fully deliver moisture and nutrients to the fruits and leaves of the plants.
When growing tomatoes in greenhouse conditions, you need to ensure that the air temperature in the room does not reach +30 ° C, since the heat will cause the tomato leaves to curl and the ovary to fall off. If necessary, ventilate the room.
Loam is well suited for growing tomatoes in open ground. When choosing a place for planting, you should pay attention to areas where crops with a small root system (cucumbers, cabbage, onions, carrots, legumes) were previously grown.
Tomato “Sweet Million”: unusual with simple agricultural technology
Have you already chosen tomato seeds for the summer season? If not, or are thinking about what else to plant that is unusual, then we advise you to read our article. Yes, today it’s not just a tomato, but a variety that will surprise you with its decorativeness and small, slightly larger than cherry, fruits. It's easy to grow and the tomatoes taste great. If you are interested, then read further the description of the “Sweet Million” tomato, reviews about it, also look at the photo, who planted it.
general information
Agree, the variety has an interesting name. This is all thanks to the fact that the bushes are covered with small tomatoes from below to the very top. There are an infinite number of them, because “Sweet Million” is high-yielding. Tomato gives the best performance in greenhouse conditions; many summer residents grow it under film or in warm greenhouses. Here you can collect record harvests - up to 12 kilograms or more. But residents of the south, as well as many regions of temperate climates, noted that the bushes grew well outside. There are those who grow the variety specifically as an ornamental one.
Varietal characteristics
“Sweet Million” has an impressive height - up to 2.5 meters in a greenhouse, up to 1.8 meters on the street. Type – indeterminate. Requires pinching and bush formation. It is better to form this variety into two stems, leaving the main and stepson in the first axil. All other stepsons are removed, and some of the lower leaves also need to be removed. The inflorescences of the bush are simple, strewn with red fruits from top to bottom.
The leaves are dark green, their number is medium. During fruiting, the beds look very decorative, as the stems are covered with compact tomatoes, smooth and glossy.
Tomatoes
The fruits of the “Sweet Million” tomato, as confirmed by reviews, are very tasty. You see a photo of who planted the variety. They are smooth, symmetrical, shiny. Their weight is only 20-30 grams; for comparison, cherries are only 2-3 times smaller. The fruits are well stored, the average yield per square meter is 7-8 kg. The fruits are juicy, tasty, convenient to preserve in small jars, you can decorate dishes and simply eat them fresh.
Maturation
In terms of ripening time, “Sweet Million” can be classified as an early species - you will collect the first harvest 90-100 days after the seedlings emerge. If the greenhouse is warm, then the seedlings are transferred already in April; at the beginning of summer or at the end of May, the tomatoes will begin to ripen. As they said earlier, the process is friendly.
Diseases and pests
If you look at the spread of the packet of “Sweet Million” seeds, the manufacturer indicates that the variety is resistant to late blight. But the experience of summer residents has shown that tomatoes can get sick, although not often. It is very important to prepare the seeds by soaking them in manganese at the very first stage. By the way, manufacturers also indicate this information. That is, we can conclude that if you carry out pre-sowing treatment, then both the bushes and the fruits on them will be resistant to late blight and a number of other diseases. If not, then there are risks.
Of course, growing crops in a greenhouse is in some ways easier, but even here they are not protected at all. Excess sun and moisture is a very common occurrence, so it is imperative to open the greenhouse, as well as care for the beds. But when you open windows and doors, insects get inside. In the early stages, that is, before flowering, you can use insecticides, then either traditional methods of control or environmental preparations.
Advantages and disadvantages
So, let's summarize everything we learned from the description of the Sweet Million tomato variety and characteristics.
- decorativeness;
- unpretentiousness;
- productivity, keeping quality;
- amicable maturation;
- a small amount of leaves;
- high quality of fruits and their external aesthetics.
Cons of tomatoes:
- there is no absolute resistance to disease;
- need a trellis;
- preferably only greenhouse cultivation;
- possible damage from insects;
- formation and stepsoning.
Now you already know this variety well, all that remains is to find out how to grow it. There is nothing complicated here.
Agricultural technology varieties
We sow seedlings
“Sweet Million” tomatoes are sown early if there is a warm greenhouse. The age at which seedlings can be planted in the ground should be about 55-65 days. If you have a warm greenhouse, then the transfer will be in April, count the days from this moment. Next, look at the lunar calendar and choose a date.
A week before sowing, you pickle the seeds in manganese, wash and dry. For even greater immunity, you can soak them in a stimulant for a day. It is best to buy the soil already prepared and balanced, but it also needs to be poured with boiling water. Sowing is carried out at a depth of 1 cm, under the film. In the phase of 4-5 leaves, they are picked into a separate container. After two weeks, nitrogen fertilizer is applied. Water with warm water as the soil dries.
Transfer to the street
Seedlings need to be hardened off within two weeks if the greenhouse is unheated. In this case, the transfer will be in May. In the greenhouse, the soil is also prepared - they dig it up, remove the remains, add humus, ash, and mineral fertilizer to each hole. 2-4 plants are planted per square meter. The support is immediately installed. After the seedlings are watered, you can cover the soil with mulch. For two weeks she only needs water and a ventilated greenhouse.
Fertilizer is applied approximately 4 times - after planting, 10-14 days later, here you can use urea or nitrogen fertilizer. After flowering, use a complex preparation. Further, during the period of fruit set and fruiting. You can use organic matter. The bushes are formed, as we have already said, into two stems; all other stepsons must be removed as they appear.
Tall bushes require a lot of water; after watering, the area is loosened. Once a week, to prevent diseases, use a weak solution of manganese as a spray, and sprinkle the soil well with ash. We have already told you about insects and harvesting on time. According to reviews, “Sweet Million” cherry tomatoes take root very well and there is not much hassle with them. So don't be afraid to grow them.
We hope you liked the tomato and will plant it in the new season. If your climate is mild, you can even do without a greenhouse.

Seedling quality
High-quality seedlings are of great importance in growing tomatoes, because the yield depends on it. Resistant seedlings that will be less prone to disease are grown from the seeds of this variety. Seeds should be sown at the end of March or beginning of April to a depth of 2-3 cm.
Before sowing, it is advisable to treat the seeds with a solution of potassium permanganate, followed by rinsing in warm water.
After 2-3 leaves appear on the seedlings, you need to pick. By 55-60 days, the seedlings will have fully grown and will be ready for planting in open soil.
A week before planting tomatoes in open ground, it is necessary to harden them, after which the seedlings can be planted in the beds.

Bush care
Recommendations for further care of “Millionaire”:
- It is recommended to use warm water for irrigation. Water not often, but abundantly, preferably in the evening;
- After each irrigation, the bushes need hilling, and the row spacing needs to be loosened. These procedures contribute to the full delivery of moisture and nutrients by the root system to the fruits and leaves of the crop;
- Throughout the entire growing season, 2-3 feedings are carried out using mineral complexes and organic fertilizers;
- The formation of a tomato bush is carried out in one stem. Stepsons are also carried out regularly, since stepsons can cause you to lose a significant part of the crop;
- If necessary, when growing tomatoes, use a horizontal or vertical trellis. In the future, this will greatly facilitate the collection of ripe tomatoes;
- To increase the natural immunity of the crop, the soil near the root system is mulched using any available material. Pine needles or wood chips are perfect as a mulch layer;
- In cloudy weather, the flowering process is delayed. To improve fruit formation, tomato bushes are sprayed with a 0.02% boric acid solution. If weather conditions remain the same, then after 2-3 days it is necessary to re-treat the bushes;
- As soon as the fruits are fully formed and filled, the leaves that are located on the lower clusters need to be torn off.
- When growing tomatoes in greenhouse conditions, it is important to pay special attention to temperature conditions. The temperature in the greenhouse structure should not exceed +30 degrees. High temperatures and high humidity have a negative effect on the plant. The leaves begin to curl and the ovaries fall off. The room must be ventilated regularly.
