Viking

The Viking tomato variety is a tall plant with thin leaves, reaching a height of 60-70 cm to 1.7-2 m depending on growing conditions. This medium-early variety is known for its rapid maturation: the period from germination to the start of fruiting ranges from 90-95 to 110-115 days. The plants are determinate, making care and harvest easier. The variety is adapted for both greenhouse and open-ground cultivation, showing cold and heat resistance.

The fruits of the Viking tomato have a heart-shaped form with a pointed tip, a smooth, glossy surface of pink-magenta hue. Fruit weight varies from 80 to 350 grams, with a dense, very juicy, and granular flesh exhibiting a pronounced sweet flavor. The tomatoes are juicy with a tender texture, making them ideal for fresh consumption, especially in salads and sandwiches. The fruits are not prone to cracking, which helps maintain their market appearance and prolongs storage.

For successful cultivation of the Viking variety, light, highly fertile soils are recommended. Seeds are sown at the end of March to early April, followed by transplanting and feeding the seedlings. Seedlings are planted in open ground after the threat of frost, following a planting scheme of 70x30-40 cm. During the growing season, plants require regular watering with warm water and 2-3 feedings. Thanks to its characteristics and agronomic requirements, the Viking tomato is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a high yield of delicious and quality fruits.
