• Watering is done in a timely manner so that the soil does not dry out too much. Abundant watering should be done once a week. During flowering, the application of water is increased up to once every 3 days.

• Fertilizing can be done with organic matter, but the easiest way is to use complex mineral fertilizers.
• The bush is usually formed into 1-2 stems. It is not necessary to carry out pinching, but it allows you to increase productivity. So stepchildren should be removed as they appear. Thus, the bushes will spend energy on the formation of fruits, and not on the development of stems.

Reviews from gardeners about the Eagle's Beak variety

Gardeners speak mostly positively about the Eagle's Beak variety.

• Elena Tomashko : “I grow the Eagle’s Beak tomato in open ground - I live in the southern region, so the climate allows it. I almost never observe most types of diseases, but late blight can affect bushes. To avoid illness, I do 2-3 treatments per season with Fitosporin or a weak solution of potassium permanganate. In addition, due to growing not under film, the bushes are affected by various pests. And, unfortunately, traditional methods do not always help. Usually only chemicals save against aphids. But in any case, the harvest is worth the effort. The fruits are large and sweet, I crumble them into salads or make fresh snacks.”
• Timur Merzlyakov : “I’ve already planted Eagle’s Beak tomatoes a couple of times. The first time I was not very lucky with the harvest, but the second time, having learned from my mistakes, I grew strong, productive bushes. I’ll say right away that they can be grown in greenhouses only if they are ventilated. Thickening the plantings is not an option - the bushes grow greatly. The harvest is harvested in 2-3 times. I crush most of the tomatoes for juice and can them for the winter; I leave only a few, the most beautiful tomatoes, for food.”
• Yulia Voronkina : “I tried this variety for the first time last year. I had never heard of the Eagle’s Beak tomato before, so both the yield and the type of fruit were a surprise to me. At first I didn’t like the tomatoes - they were too big. But the second batch was already smaller, up to 300 g each fruit. The skin turned out to be quite dense, they are easy to transport, and they do not crack when salted. The pulp is sweet and quite juicy, but in my opinion, they are not suitable for making juice because they contain a lot of dry matter. I can recommend it for planting both for young and professional gardeners.”
