Azoychka is an early, beefsteak tomato that produces throughout the summer and continues pumping out the pounds well into the fall. The beautiful yellow-orange fruits are a 3-5” round and oblate, weighing between 10-16 oz with an excellent, slightly citrusy flavour. Kent Wheatly, co-founder of Seed Savers Exchange brought Azoychka back from Russia in 1995 during one of his collection trips.

aka “Azoychka Yellow,” this amazing variety originated in Russia, specifically in the Amur River region near the Chinese border. It has been a favourite among Russian gardeners for generations. Known for their bright yellow to deep gold colour, which makes them visually striking. They typically grow to a medium to large size, with some fruits reaching up to 1 pound (450 grams) or more.
Azoychka tomatoes are celebrated for their sweet and fruity flavour, often described as having a tropical or citrus-like taste with a slight tartness.
Texture: The fleshh is juicy and smooth, making them ideal for fresh eating or in salads.
These tomatoes are indeterminate, which means they continue to produce fruit throughout the growing season. They thrive in warm climates with plenty of sunlight and well-drained soil.
They are suitable for both greenhouse and outdoor cultivation.
Due to their sweet and tangy flavour, Azoychka Tomatoes are excellent for slicing and adding to salads, sandwiches, and fresh salsas.
They are also great for making sauces, especially those where a hint of sweetness is desired.
