Benefits of Kakadu

It takes 90 days from germination to the appearance of the first berries. This allows you to actively grow tomatoes outdoors. Before the onset of summer cold weather, the gardener will have time to harvest. Late blight will not cause damage. If the temperature suddenly drops, green fruits should be removed. They ripen well in a warm, dark place.

It is recommended to place the crop in one layer in a box and cover it with cotton cloth.

Gardeners give excellent reviews, noting the excellent transportability of ripe fruits. There are no losses during transportation. Universal use, good shelf life, allow you to realize the harvest without loss. To obtain the maximum number of berries, a garter is required. Forming a bush into two stems will reduce the total number of tomatoes, but increase the weight of each. Simple agricultural technology and high yields attract summer residents.

Some tips on agricultural technology

To get a large harvest of tomatoes, you should follow simple rules:

1. Sow Kakadu tomato seeds for seedlings 50 days before the intended planting in open ground or an unheated greenhouse. No special treatment is required: the manufacturer took care of it himself.
2. When loops appear, place the plants on the windowsill.Temperature 20 degrees during the day, 16 – 18 at night. Illumination with an agricultural lamp is required until 16:00.
3. In the phase of 2 true leaves, pick the plants into separate containers. Deepen to the cotyledons.
4. Start ventilating the seedlings a week in advance. Anyone who has planted Kakadu knows: hardened plants adapt faster.

1. It should be placed in the ground 50 by 40 cm. Per 1 sq. m are adjacent to an average of 8 bushes (in a greenhouse). In open beds, you need to plant 3 to 5 tomatoes in the same area.
2. Watering in the morning is initially moderate (2.5 liters of water per plant), then increased during the flowering period (up to 4 liters).
3. Fertilize once every 10 days with complex mineral fertilizers. Stop adding additives 2 weeks before harvest.
4. Weeding and loosening are carried out as necessary.

For rapid ripening, it is recommended to artificially form the plant into one stem.

Reviews from gardeners about the “golden apple”

The hybrid has found permanent fans. Gardeners appreciated the tomato.

Penguin:

I bought tomato seeds from the Siberian Garden manufacturer. This is my first year growing Kakadu tomatoes in open ground. At first I was struck by the appearance of the bush: too powerful. I thought I had overfed her. The yield of fruits is friendly. After the first wave came the second. She was ripening it in the pantry. Perfectly transportable. Doesn't crack, doesn't turn black. The harvest was collected before late blight. I prepared juices, salads, and covered them whole. Delicious. I'll plant it next year.

Summer in the village:

I bought planting material “Plasma seeds”. Planted in a greenhouse. The norm is 40 by 50 cm, but more often is possible. Very big harvest. The fruits are ripening together. I liked the early maturation. I think if you don’t pick tomatoes green, the taste will be better.

Valentina:

Kakadu F1 tomatoes are my favorite. I purchased “Siberian Garden” seeds several years ago.I read the description. At first I doubted it: it was very well presented. Will it happen somehow here in Abakan? In March I sowed it for seedlings. It illuminated, tempered. In May I planted it in a polycarbonate greenhouse according to the scheme. She fed and watered. In mid-June the first ripe fruits appeared. The taste is great! We ate them in salads and just whole. In August, I put the brown and green fruits to ripen. Canned with other vegetables. We had our own tomatoes on the table until September. I'm very pleased. I recommend it to gardeners living in risky farming areas.
