Tomato "Empress" is a mid-early hybrid with a vegetation period of 95 to 100 days. The plant is indeterminate, strong, reaches up to 2 meters in height, and has dense foliage. The fruits are reverse-egg-shaped, slightly ribbed, two-chambered, weighing up to 300 grams. Their color ranges from red to pink-red, with a smooth surface free of spots at the stem end. The flesh is dense, firm, and slightly dry, ensuring good storage and transportability.
This variety is distinguished by high yield, reaching 9.1 kg per square meter, and stable performance. Due to their dense skin and fruit structure, "Empress" tomatoes are ideal for canning in their own juice or sliced, while maintaining high quality and shape. However, for fresh consumption, the flavor is considered average, and some gardeners note a slight "woodiness".
A special advantage of this variety is its high resistance to various diseases, including verticillium wilt, blossom end rot, root rot, tobacco mosaic virus, as well as tolerance to leaf spot. Thanks to its strong immunity and low maintenance requirements, tomato "Empress" is popular among gardeners and farmers, successfully grown under various climatic conditions and providing a steady yield of quality fruits.
