Characteristics of culture
Tomato is a hybrid with high marketability of fruits. The crop is suitable for growing in closed and open soil conditions. In the first case, you can plant the seeds in the ground in a greenhouse. In the second - for seedlings. From the emergence of seedlings, no more than 110 days pass until the harvest is fully ripened.
The height of the bush reaches from 55 to 75 cm, the green mass has a rich shade. After sowing the seeds, strong shoots emerge. With the formation of 1–2 true leaves, the plant needs picking. In open soil conditions, the crop is planted at the age of 1–1.5 months. For 1 sq. m place no more than 5 pieces.
Care
During the initial stages of growth, tomato plants need regular watering. The water should not be too cold. Preference is given to liquid that has been left standing throughout the day. Even watering with a watering can will help avoid exposing the roots.
Undesirable neighbors of crops that produce edible fruits are various weeds. They take away all the moisture and nutrients, depriving the plant of adequate nutrition.
The beds need periodic weeding. Loosening the soil is also encouraged. These activities do not pose any particular difficulties, but have a positive effect on crop productivity.
As for fertilizers, they can be applied as desired. As a rule, before planting sprouts, the soil is enriched with a variety of fertilizers. These may be substances purchased at a specialty store. Solutions can be prepared at home by mixing organic ingredients.
Fruit quality
Due to the fact that the bush with tomatoes is small, the fruits themselves can reach 150 g. On average, the weight varies from 80 to 120 g. The tomato has a rich red hue. Quite large in size. Round in shape with smooth and elastic skin.
The pulp is tender and at the same time stands out for its meatiness. It has a small number of chambers filled with large seeds. The juicy pulp has a pronounced sweetish-sour taste. Ripe tomatoes deplete the delicate tomato flavor.
