Description of the Berberan tomato variety, characteristics and yield

The hybrid tomato "Berberana" was bred by Dutch breeders of the international company Enza Zaden. Experienced gardeners value it for its high yield and excellent taste. This hybrid does not require special care, so it is suitable for growing for beginners.

Features of the hybrid

"Berberana" F1 is an indeterminate type hybrid with early fruit ripening - 95-100 days from germination.

Description of the plant:

• The bushes are spreading, growing from 1.5 to 1.8 meters.
• Medium leafy, leaves are ordinary, dark green.
• Very high yield. From 1 sq. meter you can collect from 8 to 15 kg.
• The ovaries form well even in unfavorable weather conditions.
• The hybrid tolerates high temperatures perfectly and does not bake in greenhouses.
• "Berberana" has increased resistance to bronze spot and tomato mosaic viruses, to cladospirosis and fusarium, as well as to verticillium wilt.

Fruit characteristics

Most Dutch hybrids cannot boast of taste, as they are too watery.

“Berberana” compares favorably with them with a pleasant velvety taste, with light fruity notes.

1. The shape of the fruit is round, slightly flattened.
2. The tomatoes are quite large, each weighing 200-250 grams.
3. A ripe tomato is bright red.
4. The skin is dense and smooth, does not crack.
5. There are from 4 to 6 segments inside.
6. The pulp is sugary and juicy.
7. Tomatoes are well stored and transported; if stored properly, they can last for a month without spoiling.

Berberana tomatoes are absolutely universal in use. Equally tasty both fresh and canned.

Care instructions

The tomato is recommended for growing in film greenhouses and greenhouses. Reviews from experienced gardeners about experiments with growing tomatoes in open ground conditions are disappointing.

• It is recommended to sow seeds for seedlings from late February to early March.
• It is advisable to sow immediately in separate containers and it is better if they are peat cups. “Berberana” tolerates picking very hard.
• Seedlings need additional light and moderate but regular watering with warm water.
• After the formation of the first true leaves, the first feeding should be done.
• In May, the seedlings are transplanted into the greenhouse. It is important that the soil in the greenhouse warms up.
• Before planting, the soil must be loosened and mixed with humus.
• Spreading plants need space for normal development. Therefore, for 1 sq. per meter it is enough to plant 3-4 bushes.
• It is advisable to water the tomatoes with warm water.
• It is recommended to form bushes into one or two stems. It is necessary to tie up not only the trunk, but also the branches, due to the tendency to break off under the weight of the fruit.
• Tomatoes should be fed every 15 days until fruiting is complete.

Reviews

Lyudmila:

The yield of this tomato is excellent. True, there were some minor difficulties in the process. The brushes hung down to the ground, so we had to install additional supports. The tomatoes grew large, weighing even up to 600 grams. Very tasty and aromatic.

Stepan:

I really like the Berberan hybrid. Productive, tasty, does not get sick and growing does not require much trouble.

Victoria:

I grew it last year. I was more than satisfied. “Berberana” is a variety with incredible productivity; the ovaries were formed from bottom to top. And the tomatoes are a sight to behold - large and beautiful.
