Agricultural technology
Tomato variety "Scheherazade" is recommended for growing in greenhouse conditions and in open ground.
- Sowing seeds for seedlings is carried out from mid-March to early April.
- At the age of 50-60 days, the sprouts are planted in greenhouses and greenhouses, in open ground only after the threat of frost has passed.
- Growing tomatoes in greenhouse conditions must be accompanied by temperature control. The ideal temperature for normal development and fruiting is + 24-25 degrees.
- During the growth process, the plant needs pinching. Bushes can be formed into either one stem or 2-3 stems. But after studying the description of the variety and reviews, it becomes clear that forming it into one stem will allow you to get larger fruits.
- The stem, although thick, has a tendency to break off, so the bushes need to be tied up.
- Plants need regular watering, loosening the soil and fertilizing with mineral and organic fertilizers.
The outlandish tomato variety “Scheherazade” will amaze with its beauty, add exoticism and become a decoration for any summer cottage.

We planted them last season for the first time, as a test. Everyone was delighted with the little fluffies. The tomatoes did not suffer from any disease and bore fruit the longest.

I have been growing Scheherazade for three years now. This variety, of course, cannot be called productive, but the bushes are very beautiful, and the tomatoes are unusual and serve as table decoration.

I grew “Scheherazade” in a greenhouse and formed the bushes into three stems. Heat is simply contraindicated for them; many ovaries have disappeared. The yield is very low, and the taste is not impressive. I want to try planting it in OG next season.
