Description and characteristics of the tomato variety Honey Giant, reviews, photos

Mid-season (110-115 days from germination to ripening), indeterminate, large-fruited tomato variety.
In the middle zone, it is recommended to grow it in a greenhouse. The bush is tall and requires tying to a support and pinching. The best results were obtained when forming a plant with 1 or 2 stems.

Basic qualities of fruits

The fruits are flat-round, glossy, orange in color at maturity (pulp with a pink tint), weighing 250-400 grams, fleshy, very sweet, tasty. Not prone to cracking, transportable and durable. These tomatoes are good for fresh consumption, as well as for making juices and sauces.

Reviews

It’s easy to find reviews about the Honey Giant tomato on the Internet. Many summer residents plant it on their plots.

Alina, Tver region

The Honey Giant was grown during a summer that was not the most favorable for tomatoes: cold, rainy, and lack of sun. The taste of the fruit did not live up to the mark, but the yield and size of the tomatoes did not disappoint.

I didn’t guess correctly with the fertilizing, the bush began to fatten and few fruits were formed. I think it was my mistake, not the variety's.

Ilya, Moscow region

I can’t boast of giant fruits. The size of the tomato is quite average, but the Honey Giant pleased me with the quantity of tomatoes. A productive variety.

Olga, Moscow region

For several years in a row I used seeds from Aelita, and the variety pleased me with large tomatoes with a wonderfully sweet taste. The flesh was fleshy and juicy, with a beautiful pink tint. This spring I purchased seeds in a different bag and today’s tomatoes are not at all similar to the Honey Giant of yesteryear. Apparently a re-sort.

Nadezhda, Leningrad region

I planted Honey Giant tomatoes in a greenhouse. The bushes have grown higher than stated. Everyone was under 2 meters tall. It led into 2 stems. The tomatoes grew in good shape and excellent taste. I'll definitely plant it next year.

Irina, Tver

I released my seeds last fall and planted them now. We've been eating delicious tomatoes since July. I really like the variety: the taste is wonderful, there are few seeds, the tomatoes last a long time and do not spoil.

Features of cultivation

Sowing the seeds of this variety of tomatoes for seedlings is carried out 60-65 days before the intended planting in the ground. When planting seedlings in a permanent place per 1 sq. up to 4 plants are placed per meter of plot.

If you grew Honey Giant tomatoes, please write whether you liked them or not. What was the yield and taste of the fruit? What was the height of your bush? If possible, attach a photo of the entire bush or individual fruits you grew to your comment. Thank you!

Your reviews of the Honey Giant tomato and additions to the description will help many gardeners evaluate this variety objectively and decide whether it is worth planting or not.

Yellow varieties of tomatoes contain a richer vitamin and mineral composition and do not cause allergies. They perfectly cleanse and rejuvenate the body and prevent serious diseases.

Prevention and control of diseases

Despite the high resistance characteristics of the variety, Honey Giant tomatoes require preventive measures: correct crop rotation will help to avoid late blight and other fungal diseases.

The basic rule: beds for tomatoes cannot be laid out on the site of nightshades and in the vicinity of potato plots.

Universal preventive measures include: regular ventilation, loosening, weeding, mulching, timely fertilizing, removing the lower leaves from the bush.

Preventive spraying (Bordeaux mixture, calcium nitrate, kefir, garlic infusion, copper sulfate) helps against rot and other fungal diseases.

Insect pests need to be washed off the leaves with a soap solution and sprayed with biological products or insecticides.

general information

This variety was bred at the beginning of the millennium, namely in 2002, by Russian breeders. Two years later it was entered into the state register, since then tomatoes have been actively grown, and they have won the hearts of absolutely all summer residents with their performance. If we talk about growing regions, then the warm regions of the south are ideal for cultivation in open ground, but the rest can grow this variety in greenhouses - film or polycarbonate. The peculiarity of the “Honey Giant” is that it is sensitive to temperature changes. But, of course, it has many more advantages, more on them later.

Story

“Honey Giant” was bred by Russian breeders as a response to French colleagues to create the “Charleston Gray” watermelon.

The variety is approved for cultivation in both the Northern and Southern regions of the country. The originator is a well-known Russian breeding and seed production company.

Characteristics and description

Description of the bush

“Honey Giant” tomatoes are powerful bushes that can reach more than 1.5 meters in height. In greenhouse conditions, the height can be even greater.

Therefore, they need supports. The bushes are formed; to obtain maximum yield, it is better to leave 2 stems - the main one and the stepson in the first, upper axil. Therefore, we conclude that the variety requires pinching. The number of leaves on the bushes is average, the branches are powerful, they hold large fruits well, but it is still better to put up supports.

The bushes are demanding of moisture and soil nutrition and are of the indeterminate type.

Fruit

This variety is large-fruited. In general, its fruits are one of the best indicators for which “Honey Giant” is so valued by summer residents.

• skin color – yellow-orange;
• chambers – 6, average number of seeds;
• weight of tomatoes – up to 400 grams. But some reviews from summer residents say that the fruits can weigh up to 600 grams. Such indicators are usually found in greenhouses with proper care;
• resistant to cracking;
• well stored;
• very tasty and sweet tomatoes, not suitable for canning in their entirety, as they are too large. Also, juices and pastes are not made from the variety;
• ripen well and can be grown for sale.
• The tomato yield is high - up to 15 kg per square meter when planting 2-3 bushes. One bush can produce up to 5-7 kg of fruit.

Maturation

The “Honey Giant” tomato variety has an average ripening period - you will receive the first harvest from the moment the seedlings emerge in 115-120 days. Time can shift in one direction or the other due to growing conditions, region, climate, weather in a particular year and the knowledge of agricultural technology. Fruits for a long time and actively.

Resistance to diseases and pests

According to reviews from summer residents, and according to the breeders, this tomato does not get sick with good care. If you have neglected your plot, do not follow the watering regime, and do not ventilate the greenhouse, then any variety, even the most resistant one, will get sick. Therefore, you always need to monitor the humidity, loosen the soil, open the greenhouse, apply fertilizer on time and remove intrusive weeds.

As for insect pests, the tomato variety “Honey Giant” has them, which is typical for all mid-season varieties. Tomatoes are damaged by thrips, melon aphids, mole crickets, slugs and greenhouse whiteflies, and, of course, the Colorado potato beetle. Two drugs are used against them - “Confidor”, “Zubr” and folk infusions. This can be a mixture of a spoon of red pepper and a bucket of water or mustard powder in the same quantities. The area is spilled and a spray solution is used. Chemicals are used only before flowering, as they can accumulate in the fruits.

Advantages and disadvantages

After reading the characteristics and description of the “Honey Giant” tomato variety, we can draw important conclusions about its advantages; we also need to identify the disadvantages.

• high yield - on average 7-8 kg per square meter, but can be up to 15 kg;
• high quality fruits, excellent taste and aroma, good keeping quality;
• possibility of growing for sale;
• yellow color – health benefits;
• disease resistance.

• not suitable for preparing some winter dishes, juices, or for whole canning;
• requires time for shaping, gartering, pinching;
• demanding of fertilizers and heat.

As you can see, it has its shortcomings and good qualities. But still, the taste and heavy weight of the fruit play a big role when choosing this variety.

Giant

Plants form into upright bushes 1.3-1.5 m high. Giant can be planted in a greenhouse; street planting is also suitable. The variety is unpretentious in care, not demanding on weather conditions and ambient temperature. Resistance to diseases is high, the bushes are not affected by powdery mildew, tobacco mosaic, rot and late blight. The ripening period is early, the fruits ripen 100 days after planting the grains for seedlings.

Giant is famous for its high-quality harvest. The tomatoes are beautiful, large, weighing 400-500 g. The weight of the first fruits can be 700 g. The number of seed chambers inside is 5-6, there are few seeds. The pulp and skin are bright pink in color, the taste is sweet and sour. The purpose of the variety is fresh consumption, preservation, production of juices and purees. The yield is 8-10 kg of tomatoes per planting meter.

The giant has the following advantages:

• attractive shape and good taste;
• low maintenance;
• possibility of outdoor cultivation;
• resistance to diseases.

The variety has no drawbacks; summer residents recommend planting it not only in the central zone, but throughout Russia.

Agricultural technology

Growing seedlings

Sowing begins in March, looking at the lunar calendar. Seeds, if the manufacturer has not indicated any information about dressing, will need to be prepared. To do this, they are first soaked in a manganese solution for an hour, after which they are washed. Before planting, a couple of days before planting, the seed is placed in aloe juice for a day or a little less - the proportion with water is 1⁄2. The soil is either purchased for nightshades, or your own - soil from the garden, mixed with humus and peat in equal parts. Before planting, any complex preparation with a high content of nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus is also added to the soil. The soil is spilled with boiling water, seeds are sown 1 cm deep, moistened and covered with film.

After germination, the film is removed and the seedlings are placed in a sunny window so that light shines for at least 8 hours a day. Lamps are installed for additional lighting. In the phase of 3-4 leaves, the strongest sprouts are selected and planted in separate cups in clean and nutritious soil. Two weeks after thinning, urea is added as a nitrogen supplement for the growth of green mass. Transfer to the street and to the greenhouse is carried out when the temperature at night does not drop below 15 degrees, since if it is below 14, the seedlings will stop growing and developing for a long time.

Transfer to a permanent location

The plot is prepared in two weeks at the rate of 2-3 bushes per square meter. A support is immediately installed. The soil needs to be dug up and plant debris removed. Next, add humus, ash, lime if the soil is acidic, and level everything with rowing. Superphosphate is added to the hole when planting. If the soil is heavy, then peat or sand is added to the entire area or to each hole. The soil should be loose and airy. Water the holes with warm water. Seedlings are planted after preliminary hardening for two weeks.

Two weeks after transfer, the seedlings are fed with potassium nitrate, which contains potassium and phosphorus. Next, after two weeks, manure is added - 1/10 with water. After two weeks, complex fertilizer. Then you can alternate these feedings. Stepchildren are removed every week, after each watering the area is loosened and the greenhouse is ventilated. You need to carefully monitor insects, we have already mentioned them earlier. When the stem grows to about one and a half meters, it is pinched. Remember that bushes are formed by removing all stepsons except one in the upper axil. Pruning is carried out in the evening, not in the heat and not after watering.

When the fruits begin to ripen, you need to remove some of the leaves so that they do not interfere. As it grows and develops, not only the trunk is tied up, but also supports are placed under the branches with the harvest. To prevent elemental deficiency and for immunity, you can spill the area with a solution of manganese. The variety does not like foliar spraying. Watering and fertilizing are applied at the root. The Honey Giant tomato, according to reviews, is not so difficult to grow. Photos of the bush show the beauty of tomatoes, but the yield will always please you with good care.

Care

We carefully monitor the condition of the branches and tomatoes

Honey giant bushes form 1-2 stems. To do this, remove the side shoots, pinch out the growing point, and cut off several lower leaves once a week. Not only the stems of the plant, but also heavy brushes are subject to garter.

Pinching of the growth point (topping) is carried out either when the tomato plants reach the roof of the greenhouse, or (in cold regions) to speed up the growth and ripening of the fruit.

According to the description, if the grapevine is broken, the tomatoes do not ripen, and if the shoots fall down, the fruits touch the ground and may rot.

Watering

For irrigation, use warm, settled water, and from time to time a solution of manganese or ash.

Water the plants strictly at the root or use the drip method. The procedure is carried out in the morning or evening every 10 days. In hot summers, more often - every week.

Feeding

Fertilizers are applied once every two weeks, alternating organic matter and mineral complexes.

Organic fertilizers are needed for soil fertility, and minerals nourish and strengthen the root system.

If possible, fertilizing is combined with watering using liquid and water-soluble fertilizers. A deficiency of one or another mineral can be quickly compensated for by foliar feeding on the leaves.

Other care measures

To maintain humidity levels, the greenhouse is regularly ventilated. After watering, the soil is loosened and the tomatoes are hilled. As weeds appear, the beds are weeded. Instead of loosening and weeding, you can do mulching. Mulch not only saves the gardener’s effort, but also reduces moisture evaporation.

Description of the variety

The variety can be called relatively new, since it was bred by Russian breeders in 2001 and registered in the State Register in 2003, but during its existence it managed to win the hearts of many gardeners.

The tomato gained its fame thanks to its commercial qualities and for many years has topped the lists of the largest and most remarkable varieties. This variety is standard and indeterminate, since in terms of growth it can reach 150 cm in height.

Distinctive features

The very name of the variety already speaks volumes. Its huge size in relation to other tomatoes arouses such interest and recognition among both amateur gardeners and real collectors of the most attractive varieties.

According to statistics, with proper and constant care, the vegetable can easily grow from 600 grams to 1 kilogram. However, this applies more to real professionals, and in most cases, with average care, the result is a fetus of 350-400 g.

No less attractive is the beautiful bright orange, sometimes yellow color that the tomato turns into when ripe. This coloring brings not only aesthetic pleasure, because yellow varieties of tomatoes have a more enriched vitamin and mineral composition, while yellow tomatoes do not cause allergies. They contribute to the healing and rejuvenation of the body.

Fruit characteristics and yield

If we talk about the fruits, they are large in size and flattened in shape. The skin is thin, bright yellow or orange, and when cut, the tomato will even have pinkish tints. With the right approach, they can be easily stored for a long time and tolerate transportation well, maintaining their aesthetic and taste qualities.

The taste is juicy and sweet, moderately containing liquid and pulp, while being resistant to cracking and having an excellent appearance after ripening. According to official data and evidence from gardeners, they contain up to 6% dry matter. Average number of seeds.

The productivity is quite high. One bush can produce from 5 to 7 kg of tomatoes. They surpass many varieties in terms of productivity and bring amateurs and professionals up to 15 kg of fruit per 1 sq. m.

Bush formation

Pink and Orange Giant tomatoes take a long time to ripen, not at the same time. If the bush is not formed correctly, new tomatoes will appear until the first frost. This, of course, is of no use to summer residents. In order for the plant to use all its strength to obtain a high yield, each bush must be correctly formed.

Leave seven brushes on each bush; cut off the top of the trunk at the level of the last brush. In this case, the size of the tomatoes will be sufficient and the yield will be maximum. If you definitely want to get very large fruits, then leave five or even four clusters on each bush.

In this case, the tomatoes will grow truly gigantic. Remove excess branches and brushes before flowering begins. Once the clusters have bloomed, also remove any excess flowers, leaving only the three largest flowers on each cluster.

With this formation of bushes, the yield of tomatoes per 1 m2 of land will be, according to the descriptions of experienced gardeners, at least 15 kg per season.

How to grow seedlings

The sowing process begins around the beginning of March, but most gardeners rely on the lunar calendar when choosing the right day for sowing. The first rule for starting seed preparation is to read the instructions from the manufacturer, if available.

In most cases, manufacturers do not provide information regarding seed treatment, so you need to start preparing with soaking. To do this, take a manganese solution in which the seeds are soaked for one hour, after which they are thoroughly washed. It would not be a bad idea to soak them a few days immediately before planting in another solution - aloe with water in a ratio of 1 to 2.

Container and soil

Soil for seedlings can be used either purchased or regular from the garden, which experts recommend mixing with humus and peat in a 1 to 1 ratio. Before planting, you can enrich the soil with special complex preparations with a high content of phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen.

Sowing

Before planting, the soil is watered with boiling water, and the seeds are planted at a depth of 1 cm, after which they are moistened and covered with film. For seedlings to germinate, it must be at a temperature of 26-28 degrees, although after germination it must be reduced to 22 degrees during the day and 18 at night.

Growing and care

When the first shoots appear, the container with the seedlings is moved to the window so that the future tomatoes bask in the sun for 8 hours. If natural light is not enough, then you need to acquire special lamps and illuminate the seedlings for the same period of time.

It is necessary to water in moderation so that the water does not stagnate, spoiling the plant.

Important ! The honey giant requires mandatory picking in the phase of 1-2 true leaves.

Two weeks before planting, it is necessary to begin hardening off the plants so that they can better survive the transfer.

Seedlings are planted in the ground 60-65 days after sowing the seeds.

When to plant seedlings

Be sure to pay attention to the appearance of your seedlings. Plants ready for transplanting:

• at least 25-30 cm in height from the root collars;
• 6-10 true leaves;
• there are the first buds.

When there are a lot of seedlings, I reject all non-standard plants: too small or elongated, damaged.

Spring

If you plan to grow seedlings for open ground, there is no need to soak the seeds for seedlings in late February-early March. These terms are good only for greenhouse plants. And for seedlings in an open garden bed, the seeds are soaked only towards the end of March or beginning of April.

I focus on the timing of the transplant. I plant the seeds approximately 50-60 days before the seedlings are expected to move into the garden.

Summer

I usually plant tomato seedlings in open ground in two stages to get both an early and late harvest:

1. In the beginning of May. I definitely protect the plantings with covering material. Before transplanting, I warm up the future bed, covering it with black polyethylene.
2. After June 10. By this time, the threat of frost has passed in central Russia - shelter is no longer needed for planting.

But these are still approximate dates. Depending on your region of residence, I recommend that you follow this schedule:

1. Middle lane. Planting in open beds is possible from the beginning of May.
2. Ural, Siberia, north-west of the country. Not earlier than the end of May or beginning of June.
3. Southern regions. From the second half of April.

If you use a covering film, the planting dates can be set a week earlier. The main reference point is the soil temperature. You should not plant tomatoes if the soil has not warmed up to at least 8-10 C. The best soil temperature for tomatoes is 12 C. It should be not only on the surface, but also throughout the entire depth of the hole (approximately the bayonet of a shovel). Frost is the enemy for heat-loving tomatoes. If the soil temperature drops to 0-2 C, the plantings may die.

According to the lunar calendar

Important periods in 2022 for gardeners who follow the lunar calendar:

1. Favorable dates for planting seedlings: March 7-10, 15, 16, April 6, 7, 11, 12, 17, 18.
2. Favorable dates for planting in the garden plot: May 2, 3, 8, 9, 15-18, June 5-6, 13-15.

But on the full moon and new moon you should refuse the transplant: June 3-4, 17.

Hardening off seedlings before planting in open ground

I always harden off my seedlings - I start 2 weeks before transporting them to the garden. The procedure itself is simple:

1. Take the cups or boxes with plants out onto the balcony. If you are planting seedlings at the dacha - in a heated greenhouse. Make sure that the room temperature does not fall below 8-10 C.
2. On the first day, half an hour of hardening is enough for young tomatoes.
3. In the following days, gradually increase the time the seedlings stay in the new conditions.
4. By the end of the 2-week hardening, they should already spend a full day on the balcony.

In order not to harm young plants, prepare the hardening site: protect it from strong drafts and direct sunlight. To do this, open the balcony frame only to the microventilator, and place the tomatoes themselves in partial shade. You can use newspapers, not transparent curtains.

The day before transplanting, I always carry out pest control. This is the best time - by the time of harvest, all substances harmful to the human body have already been completely removed from the plant. I prefer to use “Antikhrushch”: it protects seedlings from several pests at once - whiteflies, wireworms, beetles, and mole crickets. For each glass of tomato – 30-50 ml of a weak concentration solution.

We transplant into the ground and grow the Honey Giant

Before planting, the soil must be checked and prepared. The soil should be loose, so dig it up, simultaneously removing any plant debris and weeds. It is advisable to enrich it with humus and, if necessary, add ash or lime if the soil is loose. After this, the soil is leveled with a rake and approximately how the holes will be located is planned.

Usually, per 1 sq. m. there are about three bushes, since this variety has a large height and spread of clusters. If the soil is too heavy, then peat or sand is used, but here you need to look at the situation. Directly when planting in a hole, which should be 20 cm deep and at a distance of 60x50 cm from each other, it is advisable to add superphosphate, and after planting, water the plant with warm water.

Proper planting of seedlings and timing

Preparing for landing

The plot of land for tomatoes should be well warmed up and ventilated from all sides. It is not recommended to plant tomatoes in one area for several years in a row. Good predecessors of tomatoes are beets, corn, and carrots.

Optimal timing for planting seedlings in open ground:

• when the top layer of the earth warms up to a temperature of +14 °C and the threat of soil frosts passes;
• in central Russia, the optimal landing time is from the end of April to the end of May;
• in harsh climates, the deadlines shift to two to three weeks later.

Stages of planting seedlings:

• remove the lower leaves and deepen the seedling by 5 cm when planting in a hole;
• It is recommended to immediately dig in pegs to support the bush;
• planting in the ground should be carried out in the evening;
• After planting, water the seedlings with roots.

The planting pattern depends on the variety that is grown.

Square nest planting

For low-growing tomatoes that are grown in three to four shoots, use a square-cluster planting. 2-3 bushes are planted in a square measuring 80*80 cm at a distance of half a meter from each other. The distance between each square is 80cm. With this planting scheme, wide bushes are convenient to water, weed and fertilize.

Tape-nest planting

Convenient for tall varieties that are grown with one or two stems. A trench with a depth and width of 30 cm is dug on the site. Seedlings are planted on both sides of the trench at a distance of 40 cm. The distance between each trench is up to 1.3 m. Tall bushes without side shoots will have enough sun and air between the rows. In addition, this method of cultivation saves space on the site.

Tape planting

If you have a small area, the tape method will be the most optimal. It will save space and your time when watering in the future. To plant using the strip method, dig a not very deep trench (about 30 cm) and form holes at a distance of 40 cm from each other. About 80 cm is left between the trenches.

The nuances of growing in open ground and in a greenhouse

Growing and care in a greenhouse and open ground differs only in a few points described. In a greenhouse, the main thing is to monitor ventilation and humidity, since if not properly cared for, there is a high chance that the plant will be susceptible to fungal diseases and parasites.

It is important to plant the seedlings correctly at the correct distance from each other so that the plants have the freedom to grow without interference. Supports are placed in any case, because with tall plants there is no other way to achieve high yields and tasty fruits.

In open ground, you need to correctly calculate the day when to plant the plant. It is important to insulate the soil for seedlings after planting with a layer of straw approximately 15 cm thick.

Questions and answers

How to treat the soil before planting seedlings?

To get rid of harmful microorganisms and pest larvae, the soil is watered with a strong solution of potassium permanganate before planting. The main condition is that the solution must be hot.

How to protect plantings from birds?

You can cover the fruits with plastic boxes with holes or protective nets.

How long and at what temperature should I harden seedlings?

Hardening can begin from 1 hour, a week before planting. The temperature should be 17 degrees. Gradually, the time spent in the air increases and the temperature decreases.

How does lighting affect seedling growth?

With a lack of light, growth slows down, so in the 4-leaf phase, the plant should receive light for at least eight hours a day.

When to pollinate in greenhouses?

A couple of days after the female flowers opened. At an air temperature of at least + 18 °.

Harvesting and application

According to their taste characteristics, the fruits are most suitable for fresh consumption. In particular, they complement various salads seasoned with oil or special dressing.

The fruits are too large for preservation and it is unlikely that they can be placed in jars as a whole, so winter salads or something like stews are made from them. Thanks to their attractive color, tomatoes are a great addition to any dish.

As for juices and pastes, Honey Giant is not used for this.

Advantages and disadvantages

Characteristics of the variety allow you to quickly assess the advantages and disadvantages. If we talk about the advantages, then these include high taste, excellent yield, health benefits when eating tomatoes, disease resistance and the ability to grow tomatoes for sale.

Of course, the variety also has disadvantages. This is a step-by-step care, which for some may seem quite complicated, the need for constant feeding, picking, gartering, bush formation and the impossibility of use in some types of conservation.

Pros and cons of the variety

The raspberry flame tomato
“Honey Spas,” like any variety, has advantages and disadvantages.
