In the northeastern region of Russia, climatic conditions do not allow the cultivation of tomato crops with a long growing season.

- Fruits long and abundantly.
- Bred specifically for cultivation in open ground.
Basic qualities of fruits
The variety is distinguished by its high yield and large fruit.
- The shape is flattened-rounded, slightly ribbed.
- On average, each fruit weighs 300-500 grams. The largest tomatoes can reach 700 grams or more.

Features of agricultural technology
Growing “Siberian Trump” is not difficult; it is an unpretentious tomato that does not require special attention and increased care. The main thing is to water the plants on time and know a few simple care tips.
- Sowing seeds for seedlings should be done 50-60 days before planting in the ground. The optimal temperature, which will ensure friendly germination, is 23-25 degrees. When the sprouts become stronger, the temperature can be reduced to 20-22 degrees.

I bought “trump” seeds only because of their resistance to cold, so that I could plant them early. And everything worked out, although I planted it early, the seedlings quickly took root and began to bear fruit on time. I recommend.
