Orange Queen

Season Overview

Description

Orange-colored, juicy tomatoes. Round in shape, slightly ribbed, with meltingly juicy, firm, fruity and tasty flesh, which refines the aroma with its slight acidity. This robust tomato variety combines good taste with a special appearance. Tomatoes of the Orange Queen variety reach a weight of around 140g to 220g, individual specimens even reach almost 500g and, if harvested well, ripen in the greenhouse from mid-July to the beginning of October.

Growing tips

It is possible to grow this variety on multiple shoots (2 to 3 shoots), the yield will be higher, but at the expense of the individual fruit weight. General: Tomatoes require a lot of light, heat, water and nutrients. They are grown from seed from March onwards on the windowsill. The seedlings should be planted deep, up to the first leaf base, so that the root system is enlarged by additional lateral roots. Unlike most other crops, tomatoes should always be planted in the same place. The plants also need wooden/corrugated wire rods or a trellis to which you regularly tie them. This is the only way they can support the weight of the fruit. You should regularly break out the side shoots that form in the leaf axils. This is because they do not bear fruit and take away the plant's energy to concentrate on producing lots of fruit. Under-sowing with low-growing plants is a good option.
