In the open ground (outdoors), on 2 stems. The bush is sturdy. The stems are thick. The leaves are large and drooping.<\/p>\n<p>For a good yield, you need more stems\u2014it will easily support 3 or 4. It responds very well to fertilizers. The width of a 1-stem bush outdoors is ~40 cm (16 inches). Outdoors, it behaves like a normal plant. The foliage density of the bush is medium, ~50%.<\/p>\n<p>But in the greenhouse, it is a monster. The foliage density at the bottom is ~80%, and at the top ~25\u202650% depending on the number of stems. It will quickly hit the ceiling. The harvest weight depends on the number of stems and their length; in my greenhouse, I got about 2.5-3 kg (5.5-6.6 lbs) from the plant.<\/p>\n<p>I really loved the taste\u2014tender like all &#8220;rusty&#8221; (bronze\/copper) varieties, sweet, and soft: 5+ out of 5 points.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_07\/912279805_.jpg.99b724b7373fc5ff210e4466d865d31e.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_07\/1522764521_.thumb.jpg.08abc61a7560595ba0e8b9ce4bd65b1f.jpg\" alt=\"Ambrosia Giant tomatoes on the vine\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_07\/1492645481_5.jpg.ff25328da66d4c225f7402dd540b4cb3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_07\/167180525_5.thumb.jpg.78b68d72d55a0e2069dade8e71542d89.jpg\" alt=\"Large ripe Ambrosia Giant tomato\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_07\/895829113_.jpg.3517285b3e2fc0cb4068386829e1c3ee.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_07\/1189241357_.thumb.jpg.013bacf4ef4d0fe500f0d64eac9209f3.jpg\" alt=\"Cluster of large tomatoes\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_07\/698182116_.jpg.d8cf771f8b0151d6250cd7d9a08190c0.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_07\/629403017_.thumb.jpg.1934822ed5eba5b29ada51262724cfa5.jpg\" alt=\"Vigorous thick stemmed tomato plant\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_07\/966044431_09_07_20.jpg.41284b0225bcd967b1d887e3e6d9ef68.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_07\/1201233437_09_07_20.thumb.jpg.d0ea6357cb0256abef7ba863b4a760d0.jpg\" alt=\"Harvested bronze rusty Ambrosia Giant tomatoes\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_07\/861747784_09_07_20.jpg.14df8cedf6820b8e94bf59a2fa104fe2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/monthly_2020_07\/1714736217_09_07_20.thumb.jpg.e04956e0fa9f4baba23feb7bce05bbe0.jpg\" alt=\"Beautiful bicolor cross section of Ambrosia Giant\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quick Summary of Ambrosia Giant \ud83c\udf0d Origin: A striking and exceptionally vigorous heirloom variety known for its unique color and robust plant structure. \ud83c\udf3f Plant Habit: Indeterminate, with thick, sturdy stems and large, drooping (weeping) foliage.
