The Caspar tomato was born in the Netherlands. In Russia, the culture is not yet as popular as in its homeland, however, this vegetable is already becoming famous thanks to its positive qualities.

Features of the variety

The characteristics and descriptions of the Caspar tomato variety include the not very long ripening time. If this is greenhouse cultivation, then this is about three months, and if it is open land, it is a month more. In the south of Russia, among lovers of dachas and vegetable gardens, these tomatoes already ripen in the first month of summer.And what is especially interesting is that the appearance of fruits continues into the autumn.

Also, the described vegetable is distinguished by its fertility: one bush can produce about one and a half kilograms of tomatoes, which are used in any dishes. The fruits, according to experienced summer residents and housewives, are optimal for various types of pickling, drying and canning. Therefore, in our country this variety is loved for its versatility, pleasant taste and yield of up to ten kilograms per square meter.

Characterizing the fruits

If you grow this crop correctly, you will get fruits rich in lecopene, beta-carotene, and sugars, which create a positive effect on human health.

Summer residents also began to actively grow this variety for its original and aesthetic appearance. Externally, the description of the fruit comes down to the shape of a bell pepper with a cute sharp nose at the tip of the tomato, reminiscent of a New Year's ball.

So, the main features of the Caspar tomato fruit are:

1. Elongated shape with a characteristic spout.
2. The shade is light green for unripe tomatoes and orange-red for mature ones.
3. On average, a tomato weighs 100 g, has a slight sourness and a characteristic tomato aroma.
4. Small-chambered tomatoes with 2-3 nests.

6. The fruit pulp is dense and fleshy. Therefore, even without the skin, they do not deform and do not spread in dishes.

If we study the reviews of those who have already prepared vegetables of this variety, we note that “Caspar” is considered one of the best for cooking canned tomatoes in their own juice and assorted vegetables.In addition, storage, handling and cracking problems are not expected with these tomatoes.

The use of the fruits of the described variety is possible in any type of canned food and pickling, as well as in combination with other crops, such as peppers. However, tomatoes in their own juice turn out especially well, due to their taste characteristics and meatiness.

Planting, watering and fertilizing tomatoes

The hybrid "Caspar F1" is well resistant to Verticillium and Fusarium wilt, so chemical treatment of plantings with drugs is not required. Planting in the ground requires fertile soil, saturated with air and water. And then follows basic care - loosening the soil, weeding, regular removal of shoots and watering.

This variety likes frequent and abundant watering. For these purposes, warm, well-settled water is used. It is necessary to ensure that there is no stagnation of moisture in the soil. In terms of feeding, you should pay attention to fertilizers containing phosphorus and potassium, which are used throughout the entire period of growth and fruit appearance. The first ovary is a sign of applying fertilizer for the first time, and then on a regular basis three more times.

As for the regional features of growing Kaspar tomatoes, it is possible throughout Russia, in the north - in greenhouses and under film, and in the south - on open ground. Those who have planted this variety know that its height in open soil is half a meter, and in greenhouse conditions it is twice as high.
