Pink tomatoes are loved by gardeners. Tomato Appetizing fully lives up to its name. Shiny juicy fruits make you want to immediately try the berry. And then you want to eat again and again.
How is Appetizing different?
Agricultural technicians have worked hard. Tomato grows and bears fruit in open ground, under temporary shelters, and in unheated greenhouses.
Description of the variety:
- average ripening period (115 days from pipping to evaluation of the taste of the first fruits);
- determinate tomato (limiting itself in growth);
- in open ground < 100 cm (in a greenhouse it reaches up to 170 cm);
- leaves are bright green, blades are medium;
- the plant overloads itself with fruits: a garter is required;
- the bush is prone to growing green mass;
- forms up to 3 berries in a brush;
- Pinching is recommended to obtain large fruits.
Growing Appetizing will provide a harvest of 8 kg/sq. m wine-red tomatoes. Gardeners know: even a cool summer can’t stop you from enjoying berries.
What do you like about fruits?
The glare of the sun colors the tomatoes in all shades of pink. The plant looks unexpectedly decorative. The smooth transition from ripening tomatoes to ripe ones does not leave anyone indifferent.
Berry characteristics:
- heavy, large tomato: weight up to 450 g;
- in the process of ripening it acquires a rich pink color;
- the stalk has blurry green stripes;
- the fruit is slightly ribbed at the top;
- almost regular spherical shape;
- the pulp is granular, sugary, juicy;
- the taste is sweet, the acid is not noticeable;
- 6-8 seed chambers;
- rough skin.
Breeders created a salad variety. But tomatoes are perfect for making pasta, juices, sauces, and ketchup. The unexpected dark pink color attracts gardeners.
It should be remembered: sugar content depends on air temperature and plant light. The warmer and lighter, the sweeter.
What do agronomists advise?
To get a tasty tomato, you should follow the rules of planting and care. They are simple:
- should be sown in the third decade of March;
- be sure to use growth stimulants;
- harden the seedlings, ventilate them, feed them;
- increase daylight hours using an agricultural lamp;
- plant on beds filled with mineral fertilizers after late spring frosts;
- organize drip irrigation (Appetizing does not tolerate waterlogging);
- stepchild and lighten the bushes until the first brush fills;
- mulch the ground with rotted organic matter or covering material;
- it is necessary to tie up the stems and brushes;
- A single application of nitrogen is recommended (before flowering);
- arrange ventilation in the greenhouse;
- To speed up ripening, do not overexpose ripening fruits on the bush.
At high temperatures, cover the plantings with white non-woven material. The peculiarity of the tomato flower is the drying of pollen. The fruits stop setting.
What gardeners advise
- Reviews about the yield of the Appetizing tomato are laudatory. Gardeners are delighted to receive boxes of the sugary, deep pink fruit. They value:
- tender skin;
- sweet taste;
- unusual color;
- universal purpose;
- rapid ripening.
Gardeners would like to improve the transportability of fruits. I don’t like how compact the bushes are (you can place a maximum of 4 bushes/m²). Cracking of tomatoes is observed during prolonged rainfall. The appetizing one does not “escape” from late blight: it does not ripen very quickly.
