Characteristics

• In terms of ripening, Koenigsberg Golden belongs to the mid-season;
• the yield, according to reviews, is very good. With normal care for the season, gardeners remove up to 2 buckets of fleshy tomatoes. Some sources say about 35 - 40 kg per 1 square meter per season;
• the subspecies is distinguished by good stress resistance, it is not for nothing that it comes from Siberia. Ovaries are formed in any weather;
• fruiting in the variety is stretched, the ripening of the crop can last until frost. If this happens, unripe fruits can be removed, they are perfectly ripened in room conditions;
• the culture is highly resistant to late blight, but if the rules for growing in greenhouses are not followed, it may be affected by apical rot;

• transportability of fruits, due to dense pulp, excellent, keeping quality too;
• the way of using tomatoes is universal, although they are primarily used in their natural form. Also, the fruits of the Golden Konigsberg are allowed for processing and conservation. They even make jam from sweet tomatoes.

Agrotechnics

Regardless of the place, there is only one preferable way of growing the variety - seedling. Sowing for seedlings is carried out 60 - 65 days before transplanting to a permanent place, therefore sowing dates are individually calculated taking into account the characteristics of the region. It is necessary to transplant the seedlings very carefully, since the seedlings have long leaves, which are often confused with each other. Planting density - up to 3 pieces per 1 square meter. Form the plant into 1 or 2 stems.Be sure to tie up on a support. In the greenhouse, growth should be limited after the formation of 8 fruit cluster. Stepsonizing is mandatory, but careful - you should not remove more than 2 stepsons per week. As the harvest progresses, the lower leaves are cut off. Top dressing is made universal, they can be alternated with organic matter.

According to the reviews of those who at least once raised the Golden Konigsberg, this is an almost ideal variety. It is very fruitful, with good immunity, easy in agricultural technology, but the main thing, of course, is that this tomato has a unique taste. It is not a hybrid, so the seeds can be harvested on their own for further breeding.
