Tomato 'Azoychka'

A newbie grower, and this cultivar for the first time, too. I found it to be a mild taste, compared to the other varieties I'm growing. ...Read More Big, meaty, and juicy. And, yes, the Leaffooted Stinkbugs gathered on these fruits like a fleas on at a dog convention! I used a 2-gallon sprayer of Ortho Bug-Be-Gone (Now Ortho Max) and mixed in a few drops of Lemon Ajax, and the Stinkbugs just moseyed on along, until the rain washed the plants clean again.

I did start have quite a bit of BER on these (rainy April) but, once the rain stabilized, they took off like gangbusters. Very many fruits on the vine. Not sure the flavor was worth the long wait for this cultivar...

I might give it a chance again, though, to see what a dryer season will produce in the way of flavor.

A nice, fairly early, small yellow beefsteak type. The flavor is a bit more "acid" than is usual for a yellow tomato. The plant is stro...Read Moreng and a good grower, and the yield is high. I've had no serious disease problems, and have never seen blossom end rot on this variety. The fruits are fairly crack-resistant, too. This one's earned a permanent place in my garden.

I had a terrible growing year last year. Had about 20 plants, and the only one that turned out any fruit was the mighty Azoychka.

Production off this one plant was also limited, but I hate to blame it on the variety, as it produced a lot better than my other plants (which produced zilch).

Taste for mine was smoky. You could have this with a BLT, minus the B, and not even realize it was missing. Good tomato.

Did not plant again this year, but may plant in future years. Good flavor, outstanding texture, great in salads or sandwiches.

Mine were very sweet, not a bit of zip to them. The plant, however, leaves a lot to be desired. While the fruit is good and sweet, the qu...Read Moreantity for such a large plant was pitifully small. Compared to other varieties planted all around azoycka, it is the poorest producer. I'm assuming it can't be my cultural practices....who knows?

Good, zippy flavor -- especially for such an early tomato. Easy to grow, medium sized beefsteaks.

This plant grew well set fruit well but I did not care for its taste it seemed watery to me a friend raved about it though so I guess it ...Read Moreis worth you trying to see if you like it. I won't be growing it next season.

I'll defend this odd little tomato. It grew reasonably well here and Texas, and yes it has a flavor that is an acquired taste. If you lik...Read Moree that citrusy-tart flavor (which i do) it is a refreshing and different tomato. I will grow it again. I recommend mixing it in a salad with one of the sweeter varieties (I mix it with Soldacki, another winner) for great combo.

UPDATE June 2006: Still a great tomato. Yield is moderate...wish it was more productive. New issue: leaffooted bugs seem attracted to this tomato more than any other.

This sounds like a Yellow Brandywine, which I think are delicious. Not sure if I've had an Azoychka, so I can't compare them, but I'm gr...Read Moreowing one this year.

This tomato was supposed to be Azoychka.It is NOT. I bought seeds in 1998 from Totally Tomatoes and the result is this huge Potato Leaf p...Read Morelant with these monster big tomatoes. They grow true from saved seed,so whatever I was sold was a stable variety.

Both Carolyn Male and Craig Lehoullier have looked at pictures and have agreed that this is not what SSE has described as Azoychka.

A true Azoychka is a much smaller tomato with a true yellow coloring.It is Regular Leafed and nothing at all like what is shown. The huge Potato Leaves looks like they're on steroids.They are almost 18 inches long and very thick and fleshy.They look like nothing else in my garden and can be identifed from some distance.

If anyone has the same tomato,or has any info on an i.d. please feel free to post.
