Gardeners grow various wonders on their plots. The Yellow Pearl tomato is ideal for a balcony garden. A neat bush actively bears fruit in a flower pot. Sweet amber berries are pleasing to the eye and pleasant to the taste.
How is it different from other cherry tomatoes?
Cherry tomatoes have long been popular. Gardeners grow small tomatoes to create exquisite culinary compositions, decorate dishes, and whole-fruit canning.
Breeders have developed a fundamentally new line: tomatoes for growing on the balcony.Anyone who has the desire and a small, bright window sill could become a summer resident. In open ground, yellow pearl tomato should be compacted into the main plantings.
The plant is different:
- early ripening (from germination to ripening <90 days);
- compactness (the bush grows <30 cm);
- dark green large leaf blades;
- clusters of 5 to 7 berries each;
- independent formation.
A pleasant surprise for gardeners was its resistance to low light and temperature changes. The tomatoes are steadily growing and ripening. They do not suffer from verticillium. It is realistic to get 6 kg/m².
What's ripening on the bushes
The Yellow Pearl bush is quite decorative. When the fruit is pouring, it is strewn with bright beads.
Berry characteristics:
- weight < 20 g;
- perfectly smooth shape;
- easy separation of the ripe fruit from the hand;
- ripe berries are yellow;
- the pulp is loose, juicy;
- taste sweet and sour;
- 2 chambers with small seeds;
- strong skin.
Ripe tomatoes stay on the bush for a long time and do not fall off. Resistant to cracking due to heavy watering. During heat treatment, the pulp does not flow out.
Gardeners have noticed that the inclusion of cherry tomatoes in a salad decorates the dish and stimulates appetite. Yellow tomatoes contain lycopene. It strengthens the immune system.
Breeders' advice
Balcony tomatoes grow in unusual conditions. To obtain a decent amount of fruit, you must follow the growing rules:
- Seedlings should be started in the second ten days of March;
- in the phase of two leaves, pick up, deepen to the cotyledons;
- choose the size of the pot for further growth;
- harden the plant, feed it;
- avoid sunburn (shade in bright light);
- It is recommended to combine watering with fertilizing;
- the plant overloads itself with fruits: supports are required;
- the soil should be loosened regularly;
- contribute N:P:K;
- ventilate the plant;
- remove ripe tomatoes.
The plant lives at low air humidity. Spider mites live in these same conditions. The Yellow Pearl should be inspected regularly. If damage is detected on the back side of the leaves, it is necessary to spray the bush with insecticides.
