Inside the fruit, the tomato pulp is red in color, which contains many minerals and vitamins.
Features of agricultural technology
Plum-blueberry tomato f1 is sown in containers or greenhouse soil in March-April. To do this, the seeds are planted in the soil to a depth of 1–2 cm. After 7–10 days, at a temperature of 18 to 21 °C, the seedlings sprout. Young plants should be picked after 2–3 true leaves have grown.
In the spring, when the threat of frost has passed, tomatoes are planted in beds or greenhouses at a distance of 40–50 cm between plants. This is done on fertile soils with a light structure.
Since these are indeterminate hybrids, the plants grow tall (sometimes reaching up to 1.5 m). Therefore, tying and pinning should be mandatory components of care. Tall tomatoes are usually formed into one stem. They also monitor the timeliness of watering, weeding and loosening, as well as applying fertilizers and treating against diseases.
Since the Blueberry-Plum tomato f1 is mid-season, the first fruits ripen 75–78 days after emergence. This happens in July-August. Plant productivity reaches up to 25 kg/m2.
