Tomatoes are a regular fixture in domestic summer cottages, vegetable gardens and, of course, subsequently on tables. Even if the climate is not always conducive to growing certain varieties of tomatoes in our area, citizens are still experimenting, trying to find a special and high-yielding one. We present a product of Altai selection – the Moulin Rouge tomato. It meets the criteria for the desired characteristics.
Great hybrid
Hybrids are varieties obtained from crossing two or several plants of the same species. It differs from other unrelated varieties both in shape and internal content.
The characteristics of the Moulin Rouge tomato are as follows:
- An early ripening hybrid intended for planting in greenhouses.
- Externally, the plant is extremely beautiful, decorated with pretty clusters of round, red, smooth-skinned fruits.
- One cluster usually produces up to a dozen fruits weighing 150–200 grams.
- Moulin Rouge has an amazing taste, incomparable when consumed both fresh and canned.
- The hybrid yield level is high, namely up to 10 kilograms per square meter.
Features of cultivation
Seedlings are planted 2 months before placing the greenery at a permanent location. Those who have ever planted tomatoes know that the most suitable temperature for seed germination is plus 25 degrees Celsius. However, one or two degrees of difference is not an obstacle to carrying out planting activities.
Description of further actions:
- When transplanting seedlings into the greenhouse soil, the plants are placed in three units per square meter.
- The variety responds adequately to intensive watering and timely fertilizing with mineral fertilizers.
- Tomato variety Moulin Rouge is grown with one or two stems, which must be tied to a support.
- Specially developed stimulants for the development of green spaces accelerate the growth process and help the fruit set better.
You can't help but like this hybrid! (Consumer reviews)
In general, consumer opinion about the Moulin Rouge of the Altai selection is divided between the terms “good and simply wonderful.” There are practically no reviews with criticism; the comments are filled with nothing but praise.
Gardeners are especially pleased with such qualities of the variety under review as the tall growth of the bushes, which are easy to care for and from which it is easy to pick ripe fruits.Then the medium-large size of the fruit is noted. A woman once planted a Moulin Rouge tomato, which she learned about from friends, and now she can’t imagine her garden without this variety. It seems like an ordinary tomato, but very tasty, and most importantly, resistant to relatively low temperatures.
Users write that despite the frosts, when even the tops are frozen and it seems to be difficult for the tomatoes to survive, the fruits nevertheless remain intact.
One summer resident shared her impressions: the Moulin Rouge F1 tomato is very good, it’s a pity that it’s a hybrid – you can’t collect the seeds! (To obtain seed material, it is necessary to cross the “parent” varieties again. This is why the seeds of hybrids are more expensive than the seeds of homogeneous crops - there is more fuss with hybrids).
Another lover of gardening says that she has been planting the variety for five years, and she has no complaints about the crop. The tomatoes have excellent taste, emit a pleasant aroma, and store well.
For many of us, tomatoes are the first and main ingredient in vegetable salads. Therefore, we advise you to pay attention to this wonderful variety - Moulin Rouge.
