    Based on my reading, not my experience:
    60-70 DTM, very early for so large a fruit.
    Lemon-yellow with bright yellow interior.
    Somewhat acidic (in a good way), citrus flavor, not sweet or fruity.

    5-10 ounce oblate fruit, or slightly flattened globe. A few photos show deep lobes.
    A friend grew some seeds out from Victory Seeds and some plants had both round and oval fruits.

    Bred in Russia by a hobby gardener (Valentina Petrovna Kruglova), perhaps before the 1980s.
    "Azochka" (Азочка) is a Russian Jewish nickname for an Arabic female name, "Aza", which means "comfort".
    Tatania says that the original name was 'Azochka' without the "y", and it has also been called 'Zolotoy Borago',

    Stinkbugs seem to prefer to congregate on this plant, out of all the other tomato plants sitting side by side in my garden. Consequently, I plant it as a "decoy" crop, specifically for them.

    Azoychas have a mild, citrus-y flavor.

    I've grown this during 2 very different growing seasons. It seems to prefer warmer, drier growing conditions. This year's cool/rainy conditions were not as productive. For a yellow tomato, the acid level is mild, but the taste is quite good. It is also a fairly meaty tomato. Not overly productive, but a nice steady supply of 4-6 ounce fruits.
