Most of the hybrids are created to form certain qualities in the plant that are most in demand among the consumer. This is primarily productivity, the ability to resist diseases characteristic of the species, resistance to extremes of high or low temperatures.

These qualities are often considered mandatory for hybrid varieties. With the advent of such advantages, most greenhouse farms use only hybrid seeds in the production of vegetables.

1. King of the Market hybrids are no exception. "Honey King" refers to indeterminate, tall varieties that are adapted to growing in greenhouse conditions. But in regions with a sufficient duration of the summer period, it can be cultivated in the open, but with the obligatory strengthening of the main stem to a reliable support.
2. The plant is well leafy, during the growing season it grows up to 2 meters. In greenhouses it is attached to trellises or tied up. Agrotechnics of cultivation does not differ from the rules for caring for tall tomatoes. They boil down to moderate watering, timely top dressing, shaping the bush in height and removing excess side shoots.
3. The fruits with excellent commercial characteristics deserve special attention. They have a rounded flat shape. The skin is strong, smooth, red with a raspberry tint. The weight of fruits aligned in shape and size ranges from 180 to 220 g.
4. Tomatoes resemble lettuce, rose-fruited varieties. The pulp of the tomato is juicy, but quite dense. The taste is sweet, pleasant, reminiscent of sweet cherry varieties in sugar content. Fruits of universal purpose, are well stored and are not afraid of transportation.

After all, few will object to the truth that there is never too much good. The higher the yield of delicious tomatoes, the better.

Another "Honey King"

Among the varieties there are very similar names. Such an example can be the almost complete namesake of the "King of Honey" variety of amateur selection "Honey King". Despite the similarity of the name, tomatoes are fundamentally different.

Tomato Honey King is popular because of its unusual, sugary taste. The fruits are bright yellow with an orange tint. A cut tomato oozes sweet juice, as if filled with honey. Tomatoes are large, weighing from 300 to 450 g, fleshy, with a thin skin and delicate texture of the pulp. These qualities have already found their fans. There are positive reviews and recommendations for growing this variety.

Agrotechnics and care is the same as for all varieties with unlimited growth. They require attention not only in the seedling stage, but also in a permanent place. Formation of the plant, removal of excess side shoots, timely watering and top dressing.

A bush with large fruits must be tied to a reliable support.

It is much more difficult to make a variety choice, preferring one "king", even honey, to all the others.After all, in your own garden, unmeasured crops are not always needed. It is much more pleasant to pamper loved ones with delicious tomatoes, surprise neighbors and acquaintances with exotic varieties of unusual shapes and colors, and enjoy the results of your work.
