Raspberry tomatoes are loved by gardeners. Tomato Burning Heart gives juicy, delicious berries. Summer residents are eager to add new items to their collections. It is possible to get your own seeds.
What attracts the variety
Gardeners in problem regions dream of pink salad tomatoes. They are attracted by the sweet taste and juicy pulp. But growing and getting a decent harvest is not easy. Varieties and hybrids are capricious.
Altai breeders gave summer residents an unpretentious tomato. Description of the variety:
- designed for open ground and temporary (film) shelters;
- average ripening period (from germination to harvest sampling - 100 days);
- indeterminate plant (height reaches 1 m 80 cm);
- 6 clusters are formed on the main stem;
- leaves are dark green.
Compliance with the rules of agricultural technology allows you to get 6.4 kg/sq. m of delicious fruits. The plant requires staking and shaping. The Burning Heart is included in the State Register of the Russian Federation. Recommended for growing in private plots and personal gardens.
What berries are summer residents proud of?
The description of the variety promises to provide the family with tasty fruits throughout the season. Raspberry berries are good on the table in slices and salads. The juices have an unexpected, bright hue.
Tomatoes grown outside are tastier and more aromatic than greenhouse tomatoes. Gardeners are pleased with the following characteristics of the Flaming Heart:
- pink-raspberry color;
- heart shape;
- weight up to 240 g;
- juicy, fleshy pulp;
- thick skin;
- sweet, dessert taste;
- weak ribbing of the fruit.
It is possible to collect 2-3 kg of fleshy berries from a bush. Gardeners note the transportability of the Flaming Heart. Tomatoes remain marketable during transportation.
The berries of the first harvest weigh 220-240 g. Then they become noticeably smaller. Gardeners have found the use of non-standard products: they roll whole products into jars, make pastes and juices. The fiery assortment is tasty and healthy: tomatoes contain lycopene, ascorbic acid, and sugars.
How to get a good harvest
Growing indeterminate tomatoes has its own peculiarities. Reviews from experienced gardeners will help you recognize them. Proper application of the advice of agronomists will provide seven tomatoes for the whole summer. The following should be remembered:
- seeds from reputable producers are ready for sowing: no stimulation required;
- your own material should be checked for germination and disinfected;
- seedlings need to be taken care of 50-60 days before the intended planting in a permanent place;
- plants dive when they grow 2 true leaves;
- seedlings are illuminated, hardened, fed;
- the beds are prepared in advance (mature compost is laid in the fall, a mineral complex is laid in the spring);
- the use of calcium nitrate will strengthen plants and increase productivity;
- tomatoes should be shaded 3-4 days after planting on the ridges;
- plants need moderate watering;
- Ripe fruits should be collected regularly (the bush will give strength to those that ripen).
The flaming heart requires the formation of 2 stems. It is recommended to lighten the plant until the brush becomes full. A garter to the support is required.
What did the gardeners decide?
Reviews from gardeners are favorable. Burning Heart is a productive variety. The fruits are beautiful and tasty. Purpose: from salad to canning. Berries do not lose marketability during transportation.
Gardeners are disappointed by the low shelf life (a week in the refrigerator). Large bushes are difficult to cover with film during cold weather. But the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. The flaming heart has earned the love of gardeners.
