Agrotechnics
Tomato variety "Scheherazada" is recommended for growing in greenhouse conditions and in the open field.
- 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 hotbeds and greenhouses, in open ground only after the threat of frost has passed.
- Growing tomatoes in greenhouse conditions should be accompanied by temperature control. The ideal temperature for normal development and fruiting is + 24-25 degrees.
- In the process of growth, the plant needs pinching. Bushes can be formed as one stem or 2-3 stems. But after studying the description of the variety and reviews, it becomes clear that the formation in one stem will allow you to get larger fruits.
- The stem, although thick, has a tendency to break off, so the bushes must be tied up.
- Plants need regular watering, loosening the soil and fertilizing with mineral and organic fertilizers.
The outlandish tomato of the Scheherazade variety will amaze with its beauty, add exoticism and become a decoration of any summer cottage.

I have been growing Scheherazade for the third year already. This variety, of course, cannot be called fruitful, but very beautiful bushes, and unusual tomatoes, serve as a table decoration.

I grew "Scheherazade" in a greenhouse, formed bushes into three stems. Heat is simply contraindicated for them, many ovaries are gone. The yield is very low, and the taste is not impressive. I want to try to plant it in the OG next season.
