There are an unimaginable variety of tomato varieties and hybrids in the world for every taste and size. After all, for some it is important that there are not just a lot of tomatoes, but a lot. Others, for the sake of the delicious taste of the fruit, are ready to put up with moderate tomato yields. Some are ready to break all records by growing the largest tomato in size and weight, while others prefer small tomatoes so that they can easily fit into any canning container.
But it turns out that there are varieties of tomatoes, the sight of fruit-bearing bushes of which will make any gardener’s heart beat tremulously. They cannot leave indifferent even people who are far from gardening and growing tomatoes. One of these varieties is the Flyashen tomato.
This variety of tomatoes is characterized by many non-standard qualities, and the history of its origin is also not entirely ordinary. In our country, it is not yet well known among wide circles of gardeners, so there are not many reviews about it. This article is intended to fill this gap, and is devoted to a detailed description of the variety and characteristics of Flyashentomat, as it is sometimes called.
History of the appearance of the variety
Speaking about the emergence of the Flyashen tomato variety, it is necessary to begin with the fact that for the last several decades in the world there have been special varieties and hybrids of tomatoes with an elongated, pepper-shaped shape that have been actively developed by breeders. Tomatoes of this group have dense flesh and, due to the high dry matter content, are even hollow.
Comment! They are very convenient to use in cooking for preparing various sauces, since they do not require long evaporation, for drying, and for making stuffed dishes.
Among them, the most famous are San Marzano, Eros, Auria and others.
In Germany, they even created a special name for this group of tomatoes - Flaschentomaten, which means bottle tomatoes. Indeed, many representatives of this group are very similar in shape to a bottle, since, in addition to the elongated shape, the fruits have a slight thinning (waist) approximately in the middle.
Already in the 21st century, the German breeder Valery Sonn, taking as a basis a tomato hybrid called Corianne F1 from the group of bottle tomatoes, made an attempt to develop a new variety, some plants of which had larger fruits and much higher yields than the original hybrid. After all, the tomatoes of the Corianne F1 hybrid looked more like cherry tomatoes, and were very small, reaching only 4-5 cm in length.
Attention! For some reason, he named the new variety with a name that coincided with the name of an entire group of tomatoes, that is, Flaschentomaten. And if this name of the variety is pronounced in the Russian manner, then you get the Flyashen tomato.
Since this variety was obtained quite recently, it has not yet fully established itself and in the resulting plants there may be some differences in the shape and size of the fruit, depending on the growing conditions.
The Flyashen tomato has not yet been included in the State Register of Russia, since, from a biological point of view, it is too early to call it a variety. He still has to go through many more tests in order for the plant characteristics to stabilize.
Growing rules and care
Before planting a plant, you need to familiarize yourself with the basic characteristics of the crop. To get a bountiful harvest, you must comply with key planting requirements and properly care for your tomatoes.
Growing and planting seedlings
Yield parameters directly depend on the quality of the seeds. It is worth buying planting material from trusted manufacturers. It is imperative to evaluate the appearance of the packaging, the condition of the seeds, the presence of pathogenic microorganisms and various pests. As the expiration date approaches, the germination of planting material decreases.
Description of the variety
The Flyashen tomato can safely be classified as an indeterminate variety, since in favorable greenhouse conditions it can grow up to two or even three meters. In open ground conditions, it makes sense to grow it only in warm regions with long and hot summers, since it takes quite a long time to mature. Although the bushes are tall, the stems themselves are thin and not very spreading. This tomato produces a moderate amount of leaves and greenery, which allows the tomatoes to ripen well. Flower brushes are characterized by both simple and intermediate types.
Flyashen tomato bushes definitely need pinching, pruning and garter. Depending on the growing conditions, you can form it into one, two or three stems.
According to the ripening period, the Flyashen tomato can be classified as a mid-season variety.
Important! In conditions of insufficient light and heat, tomatoes can ripen for a very long time.
Under standard conditions, the ripening period is 110-120 days.
What strikes most gardeners most about this variety is its yield. Even in conditions of freezing and other unfavorable weather disasters, the bushes of this tomato variety produce a decent harvest at the level of ordinary tomato varieties. In good conditions, its yield really impresses everyone who saw its shoots bent over from the weight of the fruit. From one plant you can get up to 6-7 kg of tomatoes or even more.
Tomato Flyashen shows good resistance to many diseases, primarily to the scourge of all nightshades - late blight. Has high energy to recover from damage due to adverse weather conditions.
Attention! The clear weakness of this tomato, which appears in most reviews of gardeners about the Flyashen tomato, is its susceptibility to blossom end rot.
However, since this disease is not infectious, but manifests itself only as a consequence of not entirely proper care, it is quite easily corrected by treatment with calcium-containing preparations. For example, Brexil Calcium or dolomite solution.
Tomato Flyashen: variety description, photo, characteristics, reviews, yield
Tomato Flyaschen is a German varietal group of tomatoes with an unusual bottle shape. They have a very pleasant aroma and balanced taste. The bushes reach a height of 2 m, so they must be strengthened to a support. When grown in a greenhouse, up to 7 kg of small, bright red tomatoes can be harvested from one plant.
Description of the Flyashen tomato with photo
Tomato Flyashen is a variety obtained by the German breeder W. Sonn from the first generation varietal hybrid Corianne F1. The name comes from it.
Flasche - “bottle” (fruits are almost regular cylindrical, “bottle” shaped). It is still poorly distributed in Russia, so it is not included in the register of selection achievements.
However, some summer residents have already started growing Flyashen bushes and were satisfied due to their high yield and good taste.
Characteristics of the tomato variety Flyashen:
- indeterminate (grows throughout the season);
- tall (up to 1.8-2 m);
- mid-season (110-120 days).
The bushes are tall, moderately leafy, the branches are strong, so the fruits do not lack sunlight. The leaves are quite large, grassy green. Many fruits are formed on one brush - from 5-7 or more. They hang in clusters and look quite impressive, like a garland.
Description of fruits
The shape of the Flyashen tomato fruit is cylindrical, somewhat reminiscent of bell peppers, the lower tip is slightly pointed (but not always). The color is scarlet, red, rich orange. Unripe Flyashen tomatoes are light green, then begin to turn yellow and red. They are quite small in size - from 6 to 9 cm in length, weighing on average 40-60 g.
The pulp is dense and juicy, the taste is pronounced, balanced, with a noticeable pleasant sweetness and an almost complete absence of sourness. Has a rich tomato aroma. The skin is smooth, glossy, and practically does not crack. Tomatoes are not ribbed or wrinkled and can retain their presentation for a long time.
Flyashen tomatoes are shaped like a miniature bottle
Characteristics of tomato Flyashen
Usually, the first Flyashen tomatoes appear 4 months after the seedlings emerge, but with a constant drop in temperature and other unfavorable factors, the timing is delayed by several weeks. At the same time, the bushes can bear fruit in September. And in the south, harvests are harvested until mid-October.
Yield of tomato Flyashen and fruiting
Maximum yields of Flyashen tomatoes can be harvested when grown in a greenhouse (in the southern regions it is permissible to cultivate in open ground). Average yields are presented below.
| Conditions | Greenhouse | Open ground |
| From 1 bush, kg | 6-7 | 5-6 |
| From 1 m2, kg* | 24-28 | 20-24 |
*The bushes are quite spreading and large, so it is recommended to plant no more than 4 plants per 1 m2 - this is the amount the yield is calculated for.
To collect the maximum number of fruits, you must follow a few simple rules:
- It is better to grow Flyashen tomatoes in a greenhouse.
- Watering should be regular but moderate.
- Fertilize every 2 weeks.
- Forming a bush with 1-2 stems.
- Mandatory garter to the support.
- Not too dense planting (the variety is very light-loving).
- Periodic treatment with fungicides (Flyashen tomatoes are vulnerable to blossom end rot).
Area of application of fruits
The purpose of the fruit is universal. Due to their pleasant taste and rich aroma, they are good to eat fresh. And their small size and interesting shape allows you to use tomatoes for preparations. Therefore, they are suitable for different dishes:
- salads;
- sauces;
- soups;
- tomato puree;
- tomato paste;
- ketchup;
- whole-fruit canning (salting, pickling).
Resistance to diseases and pests
Basically, Flyashen tomatoes are resistant to various Solanaceae diseases, as well as to pests. But due to lack of moisture, it can suffer from blossom end rot. It also does not tolerate too much watering. They can lead to olive blight, which is the formation of light gray spots on the surface of the leaves. Treatment must be carried out as quickly as possible - otherwise the bush will die.
Another possible disease of Flyashen tomatoes is brown spot.
Advice! It is recommended to inspect the bushes periodically. As soon as the fruits begin to flatten and dark brown spots appear on them, it is necessary to increase watering and treat with any fungicide.
Pros and cons of the variety
Although the Flyashen tomato variety is not yet widespread in Russia, many summer residents have left positive reviews. The most important advantage is the high yield and excellent taste of tomatoes. In addition, they appear until the first frost, which is not typical for most other varieties.
In the middle zone and in the south, Flyashen tomatoes have time to ripen on the shoot
- stable, high yield;
- excellent taste;
- universal purpose of fruits;
- good keeping quality;
- good transportability;
- resistance to certain diseases;
- Fruiting until mid-autumn.
- it is necessary to pluck and tie up the bush;
- There is no immunity to blossom end rot.
Features of cultivation
Seedlings are planted 60 days before being transferred to the ground, that is, at the end of February or early March. It can be grown in cassettes, plastic containers, peat pots and other containers.
You can buy soil in the store (universal for seedlings) or make it yourself from the same amount of peat and garden soil (you can add a few pinches of sand and wood ash).
It must first be disinfected in potassium permanganate or hydrogen peroxide (2-3%). Seeds should be pickled by keeping them in the solution for 1 hour.
Flyashen tomato seedlings are grown according to standard rules:
- First, they are planted under film at a temperature of 24-25 degrees.
- Provide additional light and regularly moisturize.
- A week later, the first shoots appear. After the 3rd leaf grows, they are planted in individual pots.
- Flyashen tomato seedlings are grown at a temperature of 22-23 degrees, in the complete absence of drafts.
- A week after picking, they are fed with complex fertilizer.
- In 2-3 weeks they begin to take them out into the open air: first for 2-3 hours, then gradually increase the time to 24 hours.
In mid-May (or at the beginning of the month), Flyashen tomatoes are transferred to a greenhouse and planted in a checkerboard pattern: 60 cm between rows, 50 cm between bushes. Subsequently, they are watered 1-2 times a week, mulch is laid out (sawdust, straw, hay) to retain moisture, and complex fertilizer is applied every 2 weeks. Be sure to tie it to a support and shoot it, forming a bush of 1 or 2 stems.
Compliance with simple agricultural techniques guarantees a good harvest of Flyashen tomatoes
Pest and disease control
Since Flyashen tomatoes can suffer from various fungal infections, preventive treatment with fungicides is mandatory. It is carried out a few days before transferring the seedlings to open ground or a greenhouse. For this, various drugs are used (1 to choose from):
- solution of 0.5% Bordeaux mixture;
- "Ordan";
- "Tattu";
- "Profit".
An invasion of pests cannot be ruled out - Flyashen tomatoes can suffer from aphids, Colorado potato beetles, whiteflies, thrips, spider mites and others. Insecticides effectively cope with them:
- "Colorado";
- "Aktellik";
- "Green Soap";
- "Karbofos".
In the first stages, folk remedies also work well - for example, a weak solution of ammonia, baking soda, potato traps for Colorado potato beetles (potato pieces in jars). Spraying of Flyashen tomatoes is carried out in dry, windless weather. Moreover, harvesting can begin no earlier than after 10-20 days (details are described in the instructions).
Important! To maintain moderate humidity, it is recommended to periodically check the soil surface - it should be moist, but not too moist, it is important to ventilate the greenhouse.
Conclusion
Tomato Flyashen is an interesting variety of tomatoes that can be grown in most regions (but only in greenhouse conditions). Caring for it is not so difficult, but since the bush grows throughout its life, gartering and pinching is required. However, even a novice amateur can cope with this task.
Flyashen tomatoes are correctly called not a variety, but a varietal group of tomatoes with a specific “bottle” or pepper-shaped shape. These are high-yielding varieties that have partially spread throughout Russia. In almost all regions it is recommended to grow them only in greenhouses. If possible, you need to ensure a loose planting - the bushes need plenty of light. They are quite demanding when it comes to watering and fertilizing, and require pinching and staking. If agricultural technology is followed, they produce a high yield of up to 7 kg per bush. 2 Radishes

Fruit characteristics
Once you see the incomparable clusters of Flyashen tomatoes with a huge number of fruits, you will definitely want to grow such a miracle in your own garden.
The shape of tomatoes, as already described above, is elongated, oblong. They look like small bottles. Some gardeners call these tomatoes finger tomatoes, others call them icicle tomatoes. Indeed, tomatoes of this variety often develop a small spout at the end. But, since the original hybrid has, on the contrary, a small depression in this place, some plants can also produce fruits of this shape, that is, without a spout. This may be due to the fact that the variety has not yet completely stabilized.
The size of the tomatoes is small, you can even call them large cherry tomatoes. The average weight of the fruit is 40-60 cm, the length can reach 6-9 cm. Tomatoes ripen in clusters of such large size that they often resemble some kind of strange fruit, and not tomatoes at all. Up to several dozen fruits can ripen simultaneously in one cluster. The brushes themselves are also characterized by sufficient density, which only enhances the decorative effect of tomato bushes.
The color of unripe tomatoes is light green, while ripened fruits have a pleasant reddish tint.
The skin of tomatoes is quite dense and has a special gloss. The pulp is dense, but at the same time juicy. There are so few seeds in the fruits that propagating this variety using the traditional seed method can be difficult. In addition, those seeds that exist are surrounded not by the pulp of the fruit, but by a dense jelly, from which they can be difficult to extract.
Advice! To propagate the Flyashen tomato, it is advisable to use rooting of stepsons, which will allow you to grow these tomatoes all year round if you wish.
When ripe, Flyashen tomatoes have a rich, sweet taste, all the more surprising for tomatoes with similar yield characteristics. Tomatoes contain a high percentage of dry matter. They are excellent for any preparation and are especially good in dried and dried form. They are also suitable for freezing.
The video below shows drying tomatoes in detail.
The fruits of the Flyashen tomato are stored very well, ripen indoors and can withstand any transportation.
Description of appearance
The Flyashentomaten bush can reach two meters in height. The stems of the bush are quite thick. The leaves are small in size and there are very few of them compared to many other varieties. The fruits are located on the branches in clusters and are very close to each other.
As the name suggests, if you know German, the fruits are bottle-shaped. The berries are medium in size. The color of this tomato is bright red. The skin is glossy and smooth.
Advantages and disadvantages of the variety
Flyashen tomatoes have many advantages:
- Ultra-high record yield.
- Long-term fruiting, right up to frost.
- Beautiful, original shape and size of the brush and fruit.
- Resistance to late blight and comparative unpretentiousness in cultivation.
- Sweet, rich tomato flavor.
Among the shortcomings we can only note:
- Predisposition to blossom end rot.
- Long ripening of fruits with a lack of heat and light.
Pest and disease control
Since Flyashen tomatoes can suffer from various fungal infections, preventive treatment with fungicides is mandatory. It is carried out a few days before transferring the seedlings to open ground or a greenhouse. For this, various drugs are used (1 to choose from):
- solution of 0.5% Bordeaux mixture;

Important! To maintain moderate humidity, it is recommended to periodically check the soil surface - it should be moist, but not too moist, it is important to ventilate the greenhouse.
Features of cultivation
Seeds for growing Flyashen tomato seedlings are sown starting in early March. As a rule, in this case we are talking about very valuable seeds, so it is recommended to pre-soak them in growth stimulants and germinate the seeds. This will allow you to immediately track the germination of the seeds and plant them in separate containers, so that in the future you can only transfer the seedlings into larger containers.
Immediately after germination, Flyashen tomato seedlings must be placed in a place with a cooler temperature and maximum illumination. After the first two true tomato leaves have unfurled, the plants can be transplanted into larger (0.5 l) containers.
Advice! Due to the sensitivity of this tomato variety to blossom end rot, from the very first months of growing seedlings, pay attention to feeding with calcium preparations.
It is good to use Brexil Ca to prevent calcium deficiency, since it also contains a certain amount of boron, and all the necessary elements are in the preparation in the most accessible form for plants.
We must not forget that this disease is also caused by hot weather and insufficient or uneven watering.
When planting in the ground, tomato bushes must be placed at a density of no more than 3-4 plants per square meter. In addition, for the Flyashentomat it is necessary to immediately provide high and strong supports, up to two meters high. They are usually placed on the north or west side of the bush at a distance of 6-10 cm.
Since tomato plants of this variety consume a lot of nutrients for such abundant fruit production, they need regular (once a week) feeding. You can use both organic and mineral fertilizers. But it is advisable to feed the tomatoes one last time 30-40 days before the expected harvest.
Growing rules
It is recommended to purchase Flyashen tomato seeds from trusted manufacturers. It is difficult to collect raw materials yourself: there is little of it in ripe tomatoes.
Planting seedlings
In regions with a warm climate, it is preferable to plant seedlings in early March; in mid-latitudes, the optimal time for cultivating the Flyashen variety is the first half of April. Seedlings are ready for transfer to open ground after 6-9 weeks, the first harvest is harvested on days 95-105.
The purchased raw material must be checked for germination: it is placed in a glass of water and left for 5-10 minutes. After time, the floating seeds are removed and the rest is used for planting.
Processing of the seed is mandatory: soaking in a solution of potassium permanganate or a stimulant.
Separately prepare the soil and containers. The soil is purchased from specialized stores or humus is mixed with turf soil. It must be poured with a solution of potassium permanganate or heated in an oven.
Important! The main requirement for a container for planting tomatoes is the presence of ventilation holes and strength.
It is possible to use plastic containers, peat pots, wooden boxes.
Soil is poured into the selected container to a depth of 1.5 cm, seed material is distributed and covered with film.
It is important to ensure a comfortable temperature for the future Flyashen tomato - this is at least + 22–24 °C.
The first shoots appear on the 7th day. During this period of time, it is necessary to moisten the soil as it dries and ensure that there are no drafts.
When growing tomatoes in one container, as soon as 2-3 true leaves appear, you need to pick them into separate pots. It is important to transport the sprout with a clod of earth to avoid injury to the root system.
Transfer
2-3 weeks before transferring tomatoes to open ground, they are hardened off: containers with seedlings are taken out into the open air on sunny days for 4 hours, gradually increasing the time to 24 hours.
A good tomato should have a thickened stem of at least 30 cm and formed internodes.
Planting the Flyashen tomato should be done in well-warmed fertile soil, protected from the wind.
Important! The optimal planting scheme for this tomato variety is 4-6 bushes per 1 m2.
The seedling is carefully removed from the container so that the root system is in an earthen coma. To do this, it is recommended to moisten the soil with the plant before transferring it to the ground. The tomato is moved into the hole, covered with soil and moistened well.
Important! The soil is fertilized 2 weeks before transplanting and dug up, or mineral fertilizers are poured into the hole while the plants are being transferred to the ground.
Aftercare
Due to the peculiarity of the Flyashentomat tomato variety, a long stem with massive clusters, it is necessary to organize proper support for the plant. For this, trellises or wooden stakes are used. The tied stems should not be overtightened.
Be sure to feed the Flyashentomat tomatoes with calcium-containing preparations in the first month after planting. This will prevent blossom end rot.
To maintain a profusely fruiting tomato, it is recommended to fertilize it weekly. Mineral or organic additives are used as fertilizers.
Watering is carried out as the soil dries. Excessive soil moisture provokes the development of fungal flora.
Important! Watering and fertilizing are carried out with warm water; it is necessary to avoid getting liquid on the leaf plates and shoots to prevent burns.
Pest and disease control
The main pest of the Flyashentomat variety is blossom end rot, so its prevention is by following the rules of agricultural technology and fertilizing with calcium fertilizers. If Flyashen tomatoes are affected by the disease, it is necessary to remove the affected fruits and leaf blades. If it is impossible to save the tomato, the bush is removed from the garden.
Partially affected shoots are treated with calcium chloride or Brexil Ca, and the condition of the plant is monitored.
Reviews
Reviews from gardeners about the Flyashen tomato are mostly not only positive, but also enthusiastic. Which, however, is not surprising, given the characteristics of this variety.
Larisa, 46 years old, Belgorod
I accidentally got a few tomato seeds of the Flyaschen variety from Germany. I tried so hard to grow them in an ideal way, but still they managed to get subject to return frosts when planted in the ground. She saved it, of course, by cutting off everything that was damaged, and they grew back as stepchildren, but we couldn’t expect real harvests from them. I will definitely try to grow them again, because even in such a half-crippled form, the tomatoes shocked me with their productivity. In addition, these tomatoes still keep very well. At the end of summer, they still managed to get caught in a hailstorm and even in a damaged state, with spots, they lay for about 3-4 weeks and looked absolutely as if they had just been picked from the garden.
Valentina, 52 years old, Khakassia
Flyashentomat's tomatoes were very tasty, sweet, like natural candies. Dense in structure, ideal for all workpieces. But I didn’t like that I was severely affected by crown rot.
Olga, 34 years old, Moscow region
I also grew Flyashen tomatoes last season. The variety is very interesting; during last year’s short summer it managed to grow very good brushes. Of course, I grew it in a greenhouse and in warm beds fertilized with organic matter. But still, the bushes looked great. The top was in single copies, and did not affect the harvest in any way. Making sun-dried tomatoes from the fruits of this variety is a real pleasure. It's a pity, there were just very few seeds. Some of his stepchildren even decided to root them so as not to be left without these tomatoes next year.
Pros and cons of the Flyashen tomato
The main advantages of the plant include the following:
- long period of fruiting - it can last until frost;
- high yield parameters;
- disease resistance;
- rich taste;
- long storage period;
- unusual appearance of the fruit;
- excellent transportability.
The key disadvantage of the crop is considered to be the tendency to develop blossom end rot. Its appearance is due to violation of watering rules. A lack of heat and sunlight slows down the process of fruit ripening. This negatively affects the quantity and quality of the harvest.
Characteristics of the variety
Tomato cultivation is carried out both in greenhouse conditions and in open ground. In regions with a northern climate, premature crop failure is possible due to lack of time for full ripening.
Productivity and fruiting
Reviews and photos confirm the yield of the Flyashen tomato: 6-7 kg of fruits are harvested from one bush. More than a dozen tomatoes can ripen on formed clusters, so there is practically no foliage visible on the plant.
The ripening period of the variety is 110-120 days, but in bad weather conditions it may increase. Tomatoes tolerate frost well and are able to bear fruit until late autumn.
In greenhouses it is possible to create optimal temperature and humidity for cultivating Flyashen tomatoes.
Area of application of fruits
According to reviews of the Flyashen tomato variety, the tomatoes have a pleasant presentation and decent taste characteristics, so it is possible to organize their sale on an industrial scale.
A small form is ideal for canning and making dressings and ketchups. It is possible to use tomatoes in salads and other dishes. The Flyashen variety can be dried using special devices, and sun-dried tomatoes can be used in cooking.
Agrotechnics of cultivation
Before sowing seeds, it is recommended to inspect their appearance for defects in order to achieve 100% germination. For testing, you can use salted water and dip the seed into the solution. Low quality seeds will rise to the top.
Experienced vegetable growers soak the seed for 10-12 hours before planting until it swells. This procedure ensures the appearance of friendly shoots. To grow planting material, use 0.5 liter containers.
The seedlings are transferred to a permanent place in a greenhouse or open ground. During the growing season, the plant requires high-quality garter. The formation of a bush with 2-3 stems contributes to increasing productivity.
Periodic watering of the crop is carried out taking into account weather conditions. If the summer is hot, then abundant watering is necessary every 2-3 days.
The crop is susceptible to late blight, so when the first signs of the disease are detected, the number of waterings should be reduced. To prevent blossom end rot, it is recommended to introduce fertilizer containing calcium.
It is recommended to water the plants with warm water, otherwise the likelihood of infection with fungal diseases increases.
To reap the maximum harvest, you will need complex fertilizers containing nutrients to stimulate bush growth and fruit formation.
Reviews from gardeners
Tomatoes are still little known in the country, but connoisseurs of exquisite varieties highlight flashentomat for its abundant yield and resistance to most known diseases.
Its unusual appearance, bright taste and resistance to transportation make it a worthy competitor to domestic tomatoes in the vegetable market.
The variety received positive reviews due to its dense, fleshy pulp, which is suitable for making sauces and juices. The dense skin is not prone to cracking, which preserves the taste and aesthetic qualities of winter preservation.
Sun-dried tomatoes can also be made if the household has a special machine for drying vegetables.
Peculiarities
Tomato “Flyashen” is a variety bred by a German breeder. It is still little known on the Russian market. Those who tried to grow it on their plot appreciated the yield and excellent taste of the fruit.
The “Flyashen” variety of tomatoes was obtained by splitting the hybrid variety Corianne. Because of this, it is not entirely correct to distinguish it as a separate variety; rather, it is a group of varieties that resemble a bottle in shape.
The “Flyashen” tomato has small fruits weighing from 30 to 70 grams with a characteristic elongated finger shape resembling a bottle.
Description
According to the description, the “Flyashen” tomato belongs to the indeterminate varieties, up to 1.8 m high. During development, the bush needs a garter. It produces few leaves, but produces many fruits on long clusters.
The color of the tomatoes is bright red. They are very juicy, tasty, sweet, with a high solids content. Tomatoes of this variety have few seeds.
The fruits are used fresh, are ideal for canning, and can be dried.
