Breeders are developing varieties of large-fruited tomatoes. The Three Fatties tomato is loved by many gardeners. It is readily grown in garden plots.
Features of the berry
The authors developed a medium-ripening tomato for open ground in the southern regions. Practice shows successful cultivation in unheated greenhouses in risky farming areas.
Peculiarities:
- red fruit;
- shape - flattened heart;
- depressed tip;
- fleshy pulp.
Distinctive feature: wonderful transportability, long storage, ability to ripen.Taste characteristics: low acid content, does not irritate the oral cavity.
What does it look like
Large-fruited tomato loved by summer residents. Gardeners appreciated the taste and commercial qualities. Description of the variety:
- from planting to first harvest – 120 days;
- semi-determinate (grows < 1.5 m);
- up to 5 fruits in a cluster;
- 6 tassels per stem;
- fetal weight about 0.8 kg;
- the first brush is formed after the 10th leaf.
The plant blooms stably and sets fruit at unstable temperatures. Demonstrates resistance to TMV and rot. Stable, high yield is the pride of the creators of the variety. Proper agricultural technology allows you to get about 10 kg/m². One bush produces 3.5 kg of fruit.
How to get a decent harvest?
This should be taken care of in advance. You need to follow simple growing rules:
- sowing seeds one and a half months before planting in a permanent place;
- After pecking the container, place it in the light;
- maintain the temperature around 18 degrees;
- add light until 16:00;
- regularly harden and ventilate seedlings;
- plant in the ground according to the scheme: 0.4 m x 0.5 m, 3 plants/m²;
- Before flowering, feed with nitrogen fertilizers once every two weeks;
- then add phosphorus and potassium every 10 days;
- stop fertilizing a month before the first harvest;
- water with warm water in the morning (5 l/plant);
- ventilate the greenhouse;
- shade from the sun in open ground;
- regularly weed and loosen the soil.
Yields are determined by the diligence of the gardener. For the fastest ripening of fruits, it is recommended to form two stems, break out the stepsons in a timely manner, and collect ripe berries. The plant produces large tomatoes. Requires gartering of stems and brushes.
What are they saying?
Gardeners love the Three Fat Men. They note:
- pleasant taste;
- excellent ability to form ovaries;
- long storage;
- crack resistance;
- fleshy pulp;
- disease resistance;
- the opportunity to get your own seeds;
- good fruiting in open ground and greenhouses.
The description on the bags matches reality. Some people place plants in flower pots at the end of the season. They grow them at home and illuminate them with an agricultural lamp. Green tomatoes ripen perfectly.
Gardeners added to the recommendation of the variety’s creators. The salad tomato was used for preparing complex canned vegetables (lecho, dressings, salads). Ketchups and pastas are delicious.
Negative feedback:
- affected by late blight;
- reduction in fruit size when forming into three stems;
- cracking due to excessive moisture;
- in the greenhouse it stretches above 1.8 m.
There is no protection against late blight: timely collection of unripe fruits and further ripening can save.
The variety is one of the best large-fruited tomatoes on the market. It is recommended to friends and acquaintances.
