Gardeners' reviews of the Honey tomato variety

In their reviews, gardeners write that this variety produces large fruits, so large they can't fit in the palm of a hand. They are not prone to developing whitish, woody patches under any growing conditions. Among the downsides, they note its fussiness: the bushes must be trained into 1-2 stems, tied to supports, and side-shoots removed.

This variety is primarily used for salads, but can be pickled in a barrel. It can be grown both in greenhouses and outdoors. This variety is characterized by cold tolerance. The fruits are quite large, averaging up to 400 g. However, with proper care, fruits weighing half a kilogram or more can be grown. The largest fruits always appear in the first cluster. The yield is good, with 3-4 kg of tomatoes per bush. This variety is easy to grow, resistant to temperature fluctuations, and has high disease immunity. It is best to tie up the branches to prevent breakage, not only the main stems but also the clusters containing the fruits. It is best to plant in a sunny location. The flesh is dense, meaty, and sweet. The skin is not thick but firm. It produces delicious tomato juice.

I grew this variety in a greenhouse this year. The yield was so-so, despite the grower's claims of high yields. The plant is rather determinate. It grows over 1.5 meters tall in the greenhouse. The fruit size is also disappointing. The maximum weight was 200 grams. The flavor is on par with pink varieties. I didn't notice any honey flavor. This variety is strictly for salads.

Requires more space. The plant is spreading. The optimal planting pattern is 50x60. The manufacturer wasn't lying here. No more than four plants should be planted per square meter. I planted them using a 40x60 pattern. Maybe that's why I wasn't impressed with this variety. In general, this year's summer in the Moscow region was unusual. Everyone had problems with tomatoes. I'm judging by other varieties; their yields were better.
In my opinion, it's better not to plant tomatoes for open ground in a greenhouse. It doesn't significantly affect the yield or the size of the fruit. However, there's significantly more green mass. And the plants are 30-50% taller.
Next season I will plant this variety again, but I will take it out into the open ground under film.
One of its undoubted advantages is its resistance to late blight. These plants haven't suffered from any blight at all. They also survived the May and June frosts noticeably better. So I decided to give this variety another chance, this time under plastic in the open ground.
This variety is mid-season, so seedlings should be planted in early March. The seed material is quite good. I plant by sprouting the seeds. All five of the five seeds sprouted. I don't transplant the plants, but add soil as they grow. I grow the seedlings in 0.5-liter cups. I leave a third of the cup empty. As the plants grow, I add soil. When planting in a greenhouse, I deepen the plants an additional 10 centimeters. This is beneficial for tomatoes, as it helps them develop additional roots and strengthen their root system.

This variety is distinguished by its sweet flavor, which predominates over its tartness. In southern Russia, it can be grown uncovered. In the north, it is planted only in greenhouses.

Gardener reviews of the Honey Taste tomato variety

Gardeners cite the advantages of tomatoes as large fruits, resistance to low temperatures, and early ripening. The disadvantages include high fertilizing requirements and the need for shaping.

Hello everyone, I love growing and experimenting with different varieties of tomatoes. In 2017, I purchased a large-fruited tomato variety called "Honey Taste" from a Russian Post post office. I sowed the seeds in the second half of February, and the seedlings turned out to be healthy and even.

Having read reviews online that tomato seedlings definitely need to be hardened off, at the beginning of April I took the box with the already transplanted tomato seedlings out onto the glazed balcony to harden them off.
I planted the seedlings on May 1st in open ground under cover and arches, watering them once a week.
At the end of May, I removed the cover: the tomatoes stood like spreading trees on a thick stem with two or three side shoots. The tomato turned out to be not tall - 70 cm. and beautiful.
Considering the early planting of seedlings in a permanent location in open ground, I did not pick off the side shoots, and eventually they also formed ovaries.
As a result, in the second half of July, huge (500 grams) red tomatoes of excellent taste grew and ripened, so I consider the variety to be early ripening.
The most important feature of this variety for me was not so much the size, but the taste - the tomato is very sweet, not watery, unlike other large-fruited tomatoes!
Tomatoes are perfect for dietary nutrition in fresh form, as they are not sour, and also for making juices and salads.
Since the first nighttime temperature fluctuations that cause tomato blight begin in the Volga region as early as the first half of August, I recommend gardeners plant seedlings in a permanent location under cover in the first half of May as a precaution. This is when the fruits grow very large, weighing up to 500 grams, and are sweet, as they have time to fill out and ripen in the sun.
I recommend this tomato variety to all gardeners and vegetable growers for growing in risky farming zones in Russia, including the Volga region.

I live in northern Germany and have been trying to grow my favorite tomato for four years. Unfortunately, all previous years have been unsuccessful. This year, a glass greenhouse was completed, and in early March, I planted seedlings of different varieties indoors. On April 15th, I transplanted them into the greenhouse and created a hotbed inside. I also planted tomatoes there. Honey Taste was one of the strongest. On June 2nd, the first ones were as small as a pea, and the ovaries were magnificent, with 10 huge tomatoes in the first tier. I only planted five of them, but I fell in love with this variety. They are disease-free, the leaves are beautiful, and don't curl like some others. The foliage is beautiful and elegant, not like my other elephant-like tomatoes, like spreading burdocks. The height of Honey Taste is now (July 4, 2020) approximately 165 cm, but I have already removed the growing point. I hope they taste good. Thanks to those who bred this variety, well done! A magnificent tomato.

Gardeners' reviews of the Honey Giant tomato variety

Gardeners' reviews highlight the variety's large fruit and good commercial qualities, making it suitable for growing commercially. Among its disadvantages, they note the difficulty of care, as the bushes require shaping, staking, and removal of side shoots.

Review from Top.tomathouse.com

We sampled the seeds. The variety was growing in less-than-ideal conditions, in a low-light area of ​​the greenhouse, so the yield was likely small.

The first fruits were quite large, then smaller, but all were sweet and tasty.

Let's plant it again, in a brighter place.

The photo shows the Honey Giant, Raspberry Giant and Black Cherry varieties.

Good day, visitors of Otzovik!
I'll continue my review of the tomato varieties I tested this year. The next variety with yellow fruit is "Honey Giant" from Aelita. Of the fifty bushes planted in the greenhouse, five had yellow fruit. I think that's too many. So, I only planted one bush of each variety for the test.

The seedlings were very frail, I thought nothing would come of them.

I planted it permanently on May 2nd. It grew in the center of the greenhouse on the east side, closer to the polycarbonate. Freedom is a great strength. The bush quickly began to gain weight and strength. It reached the roof, was well-foliated, strong, but not very wide. This is good. By mid-July, the Honey Giant had clusters like these (the left bush). The clusters are heavy and must be tied up on time. As usual, I'm late with this. I didn't tie up the top clusters, and they all broke off.

This is what the bush looked like on July 25th. The first tomatoes were ripe.

I wouldn't call them giants. The average weight is 200-400 grams.

They have a very beautiful yellow color, and when cut, they also have a red center.

It's essential to remove double flowers to prevent ugly ones. This one isn't quite as ugly, but there were signs of it.

The tomatoes are very juicy and sweet. There's almost no tartness. But the "Honey Spas" tomatoes, which I wrote about earlier, are tastier for me. And compared to another orange variety, "Orange Elephant" from Gavrish, which I also reviewed, the "Honey Giant" was tastier.
The yield wasn't exceptional, just average. It produced almost no fruit, and was tolerably sensitive to heat. It had good foliage right up until the very end, and didn't get blight.
For lovers of yellow tomatoes, I recommend trying this variety and forming your own opinion.

Gardeners' reviews of the Honey Salute tomato variety

The tomatoes have a truly excellent taste, as evidenced by numerous reviews from farmers. One drawback noted is that the fruits can crack if the soil or air is too humid.

In the spring of 2018, as a novice gardener, I bought a greenhouse and decided to plant tomatoes. After looking around the stores, I decided to buy seeds from the Agrofira "Poisk" variety and the tomato variety "Honey Salute." I planted seedlings in early February. Some might say it was too early, but it was my first time planting tomatoes.

I can say it was a success. The seeds germinated quickly. After about five days, sprouts appeared. The seedlings grew by leaps and bounds. They grew strong and didn't outgrow their roots. In early May, I planted them in the greenhouse. The tomato started to take root, but two weeks after planting, I was so busy, I forgot to open the greenhouse. And May this year was hot, 25-27 degrees Celsius. I remembered about it only around noon. I walked in and saw the half-dead tomatoes, and tears came to my eyes. Realizing it was my own fault, I sprayed them with epin that evening, watered them, and waited...

I waited for two and a half weeks. The tomatoes started to return to normal. New leaves appeared, and the tomato started growing. I was overjoyed! The tomato started producing double flowers, two per cluster. Fruit started to appear…

The fruits were very large, as stated on the package: up to 450 grams. But mine were larger. Beautiful orange, red underneath, with bright stripes.

They'd split on the vine, so I had to pick them slightly underripe. The tomatoes tasted very sweet and fleshy, without any tartness, and had few seeds. When they were in a salad, it seemed like they always needed more salt due to the strong flavor.
It was disease-resistant, and there's no sign of apical rot. The bush itself is tall, about 1.5 meters. I trained it into two stems. It requires staking and pinching, as it has a lot of side shoots.
I don't know if I'll plant it next year; I want to try other varieties and hybrids. But I collected some seeds, in case I want to. In any case, I highly recommend it!

This tomato plant produced some of the largest fruits in my greenhouse. The photo shows a tomato that weighed 772 grams. It's a shame I didn't photograph the largest one. One tomato like this is enough to feed a whole family with salad.
The tomato had two stems. It didn't form clusters. It produced large fruits even on the third cluster. It's very beautiful in cross-section, with iridescent colors ranging from yellow to red. It's fleshy. The seed chambers are small. There are enough seeds in the tomato to save for planting in future years. When well ripened, it becomes sweet and aromatic.
The skin is thin. It can be stored for about a week, no more, as the tomato becomes soft when ripe.
There are 10 seeds in the packet.
Cons: under the stalk (sepals) there is rough tissue that has to be cut out.

I've been planting this variety for two years. This handsome fellow lives in our greenhouse. I really love large-fruited tomatoes. They don't require any special care. Nine to 12 fruits ripen on a vine. In 2020, the largest fruit weighed 900 grams. In 2021, a truly magnificent tomato grew, weighing 1 kg 190 grams, and there were nine more on the vine (of course, the subsequent ones weighed less). If you love large, fleshy, sweet tomatoes, plant Honey Salute.

Gardeners' reviews of the Honey Spas tomato variety

Reviews of the variety are overwhelmingly positive. Gardeners note that the tomatoes are so attractive in appearance and taste that even if they don't achieve the stated yield, they will still be grown.

Good day, dear readers of my review!
I've decided to dedicate this review to the tomato seeds with the sweet name "Honey Spas." The producer is the Russian company "Sibirsky Sad," whose seeds I've been buying for several years now.

The topic of gardening is very interesting, because I myself enjoy growing various vegetables on my plot and learning something new from more experienced gardeners.
One of my favorite vegetables is the tomato. Everyone in my family loves fresh tomatoes because they're so healthy. They contain a large amount of vitamins, minerals, and organic acids. Thanks to the antioxidant lycopene, they protect the body's cells and help prevent cancer.
I also make various preserves for the winter from fresh tomatoes, so I try to plant as many as possible every year.
Among the various tomato varieties planted this year, the yellow tomatoes "Honey Savior" took a worthy place.

This mid-season variety is suitable for growing in greenhouses and open ground. It is recommended to plant one or two stems, tied to a support, and requires pinching.
I sowed the seeds at the end of March, and in mid-May I planted the seedlings in the greenhouse.
The first tomatoes began to be picked in mid-July.
The fruits are medium-sized, almost identical in size, and have a round shape.

I liked this variety because the pulp of these fruits tastes very sweet, without any acidity.

We use it mainly for food, fresh.

I make healthy summer salads from tomatoes of this variety.

Honey-yellow tomato slices look beautiful in salads.

This variety is a salad type and is not intended for canning, but I still decided to use them in pickling.
I made several jars of assorted vegetables along with cucumbers.

The skin is thin and not dense enough, so when poured with boiling brine, it cracks.
Therefore, it is better to give preference to other varieties intended specifically for canning.
It is much healthier to eat these tomatoes fresh, especially for people suffering from gastrointestinal diseases.
Be healthy!

The season for testing new tomato varieties is coming to an end. This year, I had 42 of them, mostly varieties whose seeds I acquired from collectors. But I couldn't pass up the varieties from the Siberian Garden. Today, I'll write about my impressions of the "Honey Spas" variety. I'll say right away – IMPRESSED! As always, I grew the seedlings myself at home. I planted one bush in a polycarbonate greenhouse. I described in detail how I arrange the tomato bushes in the greenhouse in my review of the "Siebenburgen Giant" variety. If you're interested, you can check it out. The "Honey Spas" tomato is an indeterminate variety, with a tall bush; mine reached the ceiling of the greenhouse. At the same time, the bush is very compact, with small, not splayed-out leaves. I trained it into two trunks, like most tall tomatoes. This variety didn't ripen early. I picked the first ripe tomato on July 20th.

And what a beautiful color these tomatoes have! I'd call it the color of a ripe persimmon. The tomatoes are heart-shaped, and some of the smaller ones look very much like persimmons. My tomatoes ripened very unevenly. The first one was on the bottom cluster, the next ones on the second, and then on the third, even though the tomatoes on the bottom clusters weren't ripe yet. Three of my clusters set well, but the next ones had gaps. Fruit set is highly dependent on the temperature in the greenhouse. When the heat started, it stopped setting. Large and medium-sized tomatoes weigh over 200 grams.

We used them in salads and preserves, but only sliced. The tomatoes have a thick skin, but not hard. They store very well and don't get soft. Since this is a variety, not a hybrid, I made my own seeds. I don't know if this is good or bad, but there are almost no seeds, just pulp.

If you like sweet tomatoes without the acidity, this is the variety for you. There are tomatoes without acidity and some that are bland. But these aren't like that; they're very tasty, truly honey-like. The "Honey Giant" tomato is similar, but not as sweet. I give this variety a solid A. If you haven't tried it yet, I recommend planting it. I'll definitely be growing it again in the future.

This year I also planted yellow tomatoes such as “Orange Elephant” from the Gavrish company, “Banana Legs,” and “Orange Strawberry.”
