Characteristics of the variety

Burrakersky favorite tomatoes are intended for growing in greenhouse conditions. They belong to large-fruited dessert varieties. In open ground, the crop can also develop, but its growth and productivity will not change for the better. The fruits are formed 3-4 months after emergence.

Description of fruits

Tomatoes of this variety have the following characteristics:

• fruits grow up to 400 g, rare species can weigh more than 800 g;
• fruits are ribbed, flattened in the middle;
• seeds are small;
• the color of the pulp and skin is yellow-red;
• The pulp is fleshy, quite sweet, and tastes vaguely like fruit.

The fruits grow large in the first years of the plant's life, each year approaching their average size. They do not have a tendency to crack, so they tolerate transportation well.

Description of the bush

A tomato bush has the following characteristics:

• it can reach 2 m in height in a greenhouse and 1 m in open ground - its growth does not stop after flowering;
• mid-season variety;
• formed into 2 stems;
• Potato-type foliage with veins.

Productivity

The fruits have a good taste

According to the description of the variety, with proper care and watering, up to 10 kg of fruit can be harvested from one bush. The variety cannot be called very productive: it has average yields. But this is compensated by the unusual taste, size and appearance of the fruit.

Resistance to diseases and pests

The tomato variety Burrakersky favorites is resistant to various kinds of diseases. Excessive moisture can provoke the disease, so special holes are made for watering. The variety has good resistance to late blight.

It is necessary to adhere to the norm when watering: do not over-water the plant, but also do not allow it to dry out, which can lead to the development of blackleg. When it appears, the lower part of the culture thins. More often it occurs in a greenhouse, which leads to the death of the tomato.

Tatyana Orlova (Vasilidchenko) (candidate of agricultural sciences):

“Black leg” (rhizoctonia) is a disease that exclusively affects tomato seedlings, but not adult plants in open or protected ground. There is a disease called southern late blight of tomatoes (found in the Astrakhan region and Krasnodar region), which occurs as a “black leg”. The lower part of the stem becomes thinner and adult tomato plants die.

To combat it, use Trichopolum tablets (1 piece diluted in 1 liter of water).

Growing regions

Thanks to the possibility of planting tomatoes in greenhouses, their distribution is becoming wider. Initially, they are intended for the southern regions - Krasnodar Territory, Volgograd and Astrakhan regions. Vegetables can be grown in greenhouses in the middle regions, the Urals and Siberia.

Application of fruits

The fruits make excellent salads, tomato juices and pastes. The only thing you should refrain from is conservation. Their sweetness in canned form may be inappropriate, and the size of the fruit is too large.

Brief information about the variety

• Fruits and bush : indeterminate variety, average fruit weight – 400 g.

Burraquer favorite tomatoes can be grown both in open ground and in greenhouses. The latter option is relevant for the middle zone, and plants can be planted in open ground by residents of the southern regions, where there is a mild climate. We are talking about a mid-season variety, so the first fruits can be collected within 110-120 days after germination.

Burraker's favorites are an indeterminate variety, so the growth of the bushes continues throughout the entire period of the plant's existence. The average height is 1.8-2 meters. In open ground, plants grow up to one meter or slightly higher. In view of these features, the stems must be tied to vertical rigid supports so that they do not break under the weight of the fruit. It is recommended to use an elastic band that does not injure the plants. The bushes also need to be pinched - this is a procedure that involves removing stepsons that do not have any functional purpose. The best result in terms of yield is the formation of bushes into two stems

Pinching and tying are the only points that should be given special attention, besides feeding. But even novice gardeners can easily master these procedures.

Another important point is resistance to diseases characteristic of plants of the nightshade family, in particular late blight, which affects the fruits and makes them unsuitable for further use. This allows you to minimize the amount of spoiled tomatoes.

Continuing to consider the description of the Burrakersky Favorites tomato variety, let us dwell on the characteristics of the fruit:

• shape – flat-round;
• color - yellow with marbled red spots and stripes;
• weight of 1 fruit - from 300 to 600 grams, depending on growing conditions and quality of care, regularity of feeding;
• purpose - it is recommended to eat fresh, and also use for preparing tomato juice, sauces or gravy;
• The pulp is very juicy and sweet.

These features are also noted in reviews about Burrakersky favorite tomatoes, so there cannot be the slightest doubt about the given characteristics. Also in the reviews you can find useful information regarding sowing, growing seedlings and adult plants, and tips on increasing crop yields.

Features of sowing seeds and growing seedlings

To achieve good yield indicators, you need not only to carefully read the description of the Burrakersky Favorites tomato variety, but also to study the intricacies of planting and caring for plants.

It is recommended to sow seeds for seedlings 65 days before the expected date of planting in a permanent place of growth. Initially, they are placed in a common container and in moist soil. After two or three large leaves appear on the seedlings, a dive is performed. This is necessary to strengthen the root system, and the procedure involves planting the sprouts in different containers.

After 55 days after the dive, you can plant it at a permanent place of growth. It is recommended to place no more than 3 plants per square meter of soil. In this case, it will be possible to achieve good yield indicators and harvest tomatoes as in the photo of the Burraker’s Favorites tomatoes.

As for watering and fertilizing, there are no special differences from caring for other varieties of tomatoes, so there are no difficulties.

Where to buy tomato seeds Burraker's favorites

Reviews

“Burraker's Favorites” is one of the regular tomatoes in my garden. The tomato has excellent taste and good yield. The fruits are yellow-red, colorful, beautiful, fleshy, with few seeds. They are sweet, but we picked them unripe, I think that in the ripened state (on the bush) the taste became even more intense.

The bushes are very tall in the greenhouse - up to two meters. In open ground a little higher than a meter. The bushes are not very branchy, so there is not much hassle with the garter. She led the plants into two trunks. There are a lot of ovaries on the bush. They perform well both in open beds and in protected ground. In general, the variety is a solid five.

One of my favorites. Tomatoes have a very unusual color. And their taste is simply amazing - so juicy, sweet, just like sugar. Although, when overripe, tomatoes fall apart in salads. The bushes knit very well. Each has 8-10 large tomatoes, weighing approximately 350 grams. True, in the second wave the tomatoes are slightly smaller in size. It begins to bear fruit in mid-July and forms fruits at the end of September. Our tomatoes do not last long, since the skin is not too thick and the inside is very watery.

I planted tomatoes of this variety for two years in a row. I really liked the variety. Even in our Siberian conditions it performs well. Grown in a greenhouse, the height of the heaps is 180 centimeters. Tied it to the trellis. It led into one trunk. Each bush produces an average of 10 tomatoes. I got a medium-late variety; the first tomatoes appeared only in August. But this is understandable, since we have little sun, so the growing season is very long for all crops. Fruiting is long and uneven. In October the last fruits were harvested. The most valuable thing about this variety is its unusually tasty tomatoes. I've never eaten anything like this before. These tomatoes will make any dish chic. I will continue to plant this variety.

Last year I tried to plant this variety. The fruits are all large, weighing from 300 to 600 grams. Very tasty, meaty, heavy. The plants are strong, powerful, one and a half meters tall. I didn’t fertilize it often, but apparently it was enough, since the harvest seemed good to me. The bushes did not suffer from any disease, no insects took root on them. In general, an unpretentious, persistent variety. This year I planted seeds for seedlings again.

Growing

Growing is possible using seedlings. Its age before planting must be at least 2 months, regardless of the place of planting. To plant in a greenhouse, you need to choose mid-May; seedlings are transferred to open ground in early June.

Non-acidic soil is used as planting soil. Black soil or soil mixed with sand is suitable. You cannot plant plants in the place where potatoes used to grow: this will lead to the development of late blight. The best option is soil after cucumbers or cabbage.

Sowing seedlings

Seeds for seedlings begin to be sown in late February-early March. They should be no older than 2-3 years: such seeding material brings the best harvest.

Tatyana Orlova (Vasilidchenko) (candidate of agricultural sciences):

Tomato seeds can be stored without loss of seed quality for 5-6 years or more, but under optimal storage conditions.

Before sowing, the seeds are placed in a solution of potassium permanganate for 20-30 minutes, then in a growth stimulator

It is especially important to perform these manipulations for plants that will subsequently develop in open ground.

Seedlings need to be hardened off

Any container with small holes in the bottom is suitable for growing tomatoes. They are covered with polyethylene and placed on the sunny side. If the container is not new, it must be disinfected with potassium permanganate, after rinsing it in warm water. The clay container is sent to the oven for disinfection.

After germination, the container is moved to the sunny side. When 2-3 true leaves appear, seedlings are planted in separate pots. When the temperature reaches above zero, the seedlings are taken out to the balcony for hardening. At first she is kept in such conditions for half an hour, then this time is gradually increased. This procedure will help to avoid unnecessary stress to the plant when planting in the ground.

Transplanting seedlings

A favorable condition for growing Burraquer's favorite tomatoes is bright, diffused light.

The soil needs to be prepared 2 weeks before planting.

Before planting seedlings, pay attention to their condition. If the stem turns out to be short after a while, you need to plant the plant at a slight angle

This will contribute to a rapid gain of strength and volume.

The soil should be completely warmed up at the time of planting. They speed up this process by covering the bed with polyethylene. A week before planting, the soil is loosened, peat and humus are added and covered with polyethylene.

Seedlings must have at least 5-6 healthy leaves. The plant should not be damaged. If this happens, it must be treated before planting. On 1 m² you can plant 4 plants in a checkerboard pattern.

Pre-dig holes and fill them with warm water. Then stakes are installed and, if necessary, plants are immediately tied to them. The tomatoes are not watered for the first week. You can cover the soil with mulch until stable heat appears.

Tomatoes are watered abundantly, but rarely - twice a week. During the period of ovary formation and flowering, the amount of watering is increased. Water for the bush should be warm and settled, and it is better to choose the evening watering time. You need to pour the liquid under the root, avoiding moisture getting on the leaves. The humidity in the greenhouse should be no more than 55%.

As the first fertilizer, you can use a solution of mullein (1:10). During flowering, fertilizing with phosphorus fertilizer and potassium is appropriate. To speed up the setting of flowers, spray tomatoes with boric acid.

You can harvest in August, but you cannot wait until the fruits are fully ripened (at the time of harvest they should be slightly under-ripe). At home, they will quickly ripen, and in the meantime the culture will direct its energy to growing new fruits. In August, the bush is pinched at the highest point - this promotes a good harvest.

Growing the variety

In all regions of the country, Burrakersky favorite tomatoes are cultivated only by seedlings. 2 months before planting in a field or greenhouse, seeds are sown in bowls or other containers. Before sowing seeds for seedlings, soil is prepared from several components. It includes:

• earth (0.5% mixture);
• humus (0.25%);
• sawdust and sand (0.25%).

The soil is thoroughly mixed and poured into containers on top of the drainage. Easily leveled without compacting so that the bottom layer does not become compacted.

Seeds are soaked overnight in stimulants, if necessary. Some companies sell granular seed material. It does not require any processing.

Seeds are laid on the surface of the soil, covered with a layer of soil no more than 1 cm. Then they are sprayed with warm water from a spray bottle and covered with transparent material. The temperature in the containers should be about 25°C during the day and not lower than 17°C at night.

Growing seedlings

Hardened seedlings can be planted in open ground

After sprouting, the containers are opened, accustoming the sprouts to fresh air. If necessary, turn on additional lighting. In the 2-leaf phase, the seedlings dive and continue to care for them, watering them on time and observing the temperature regime.

Features of agricultural technology of the Burraker favorites variety

Growing is recommended by seedlings, and the age of the plants when planted in the ground (ridges, greenhouse) should be at least 62-65 days. Agricultural technology is generally traditional; basic techniques are mandatory.

Sowing seeds and growing seedlings

Around the beginning or middle of March, the seeds begin to be prepared for sowing as seedlings. The timing is determined by the time of planting the seedlings in a permanent place, when stable temperatures are established and the threat of frost has passed. Tomatoes are usually planted in a greenhouse in mid-May, in open ground - at the end of May or the first week of June.

Seed preparation includes the following activities:

• selection (but seeds of this variety are usually sent by collectors, the selection has already been done earlier);
• disinfection (immersion for 15-20 minutes in a pink solution of potassium permanganate);
• germination in damp tissue.

Prepare the soil and containers in which the seedlings will grow in advance. You can buy a ready-made soil mixture (but be sure to check its quality), but it’s better to make the soil yourself:

• humus or peat;
• leaf or turf soil;
• coarse sand.

Proportions: 1:1:0.25. You can add a couple of tablespoons of wood ash.

Boxes and containers are used as containers (if the seeds are first sown in a group), or the seeds can be sown immediately in separate cups or pots. In the second option, they do without picking; when planting in common containers, the seedlings must be picked when they have two or three true leaves. Gardeners use picking as one of the ways to strengthen seedlings and avoid stretching them.

The containers with seeds are covered with film and put in a warm place for germination. Be sure to check the tomatoes, and as soon as shoots appear, remove the shelter and expose the seedlings to the light.

Temperature:

• when germinating seeds: +23ºC…+25ºC;
• the first 3-5 days after emergence: +18ºC;
• the subsequent growing period before planting in a permanent place: +21ºC...+23ºC - during the day, about +18ºC...+19ºC - at night.

Seedlings must receive sufficient light. To extend daylight hours, additional lamps are used. Water carefully as the soil dries. Also, seedlings of Burraker's favorites can be fed using complex fertilizer or a special composition for tomatoes (for example, Kemira).

Getting ready to disembark

Transplanting tomatoes to a permanent location is always stressful for the plant. In order for them to better adapt to new conditions and not get sick, it is recommended to start hardening the seedlings about 10-14 days in advance.

To do this, first gradually reduce the temperature in the room where the tomatoes are growing (by one or two degrees). To do this, you can open the window for a short time, but do not allow a draft.

Then the seedlings are taken out to the balcony or loggia, starting with a stay of 10-15 minutes and gradually increasing the time.

Planting tomatoes

The time for planting tomatoes in a greenhouse will be different for each region. It all depends on the climate, weather conditions, and growing habits. It was already indicated above that Burraker’s favorites in most regions of the Russian Federation are best grown in a greenhouse.

In the middle zone, the landing time is the beginning or middle of May, in more northern regions - the end of May. It is recommended to cover the seedlings in the greenhouse with film or non-woven material in order to create comfortable conditions for the seedlings at the first stage. As soon as stable heat is established, the additional shelter is removed.

The soil in the greenhouse must be dug up and fertilized (it is better to fertilize in the fall). Planting is done in holes; the distance between seedlings should be approximately 70-80 cm, not more often.

An interesting variety with an unforgettable taste - the Burrakersky favorites tomato: description of tomatoes

Burraker's favorites come from America. Thanks to their colorfulness and elegance, they were named after the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Delicious 2-color tomatoes, they combine red and golden color.

Description and characteristics of the variety

Powerful bushes produce 7 fruiting branches with 5-6 large tomatoes. Shoots and brushes with tomatoes should be tied up. Ripening occurs in 110-125 days.

Tomatoes are large in size, the average weight varies from 250 to 500 g. The largest specimens from the lower stems reach 600-700 g.

Tomatoes are bright bicolors - red and yellow colors shimmer not only on the skin, but also on the cut. The fleshy pulp is sweetish, with a slight tomato sourness. The fruits are juicy, but not watery.

Advantages and disadvantages

• excellent taste;
• tolerance to drought and heat;
• disease resistance;
• ease of cultivation;
• marketable condition.

Minuses:

impossibility of whole-fruit canning.

Productivity

The tomato has an above-average yield: 10-11 kg are harvested from 1 m2, and the yield from 1 bush is 4-4.5 kg. Tomatoes are used in fresh cuts, for winter preparations in the form of pastes, juices, sauces, and ketchups.

Features of cultivation and storage

The soil is prepared fertile from turf soil, compost, peat, sand. Disinfect with potassium permanganate or calcination in the oven.

Seedling care:

• place the containers in a warm place 22-24 °C under film;
• irrigate with warm water 23 ° C;
• after germination, the polyethylene is removed, the seedlings are hardened at 14 °C;
• illuminated with fluorescent lamps;
• fed with “Krepysh” or “Kemira”.

Planting and care

The seedlings are transplanted into stationary beds 55-60 days after germination. Add a handful of compost, humus, and 1 tbsp into holes 40 cm deep. wood ash.

• regular watering at the rate of 4-5 liters per root;
• fertilizing with organic matter and minerals during the flowering, setting and formation of tomatoes;
• mulching with straw, sawdust.

Common mistakes when growing

Burraker's favorites develop well in the area where cucumbers previously grew, but their proximity in a greenhouse is undesirable. This is due to the fact that it is impossible to find a middle ground for these two vegetables. Cucumbers require high temperature and humidity and little air movement, while tomatoes need the opposite.

There are a few more errors when landing:

• placement in the shade when planting in open ground. Tomatoes are light-loving vegetables; they will not be able to fill with juices if they are away from the sun;
• collection of ripened fruits. They spoil quickly, and the plant itself spends too much effort on ripening the tomatoes. It is better to remove them earlier and let them mature at home;
• overexposure of seedlings. Fearing the return of frost, many people overstay their seedlings and plant them too late. Such tomatoes also grow, but you shouldn’t expect tasty fruits;
• small distance between bushes. The principle of more is not always true. If the plants are crowded, they will not bear fruit.

Burracker's Favorite tomatoes were bred by American breeders. The Burraker area is located in the eastern United States, in the foothills of the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains. Tomatoes of the Burraker favorites variety are declared as two-color (bi-color).

Care and disease control

Plant care consists of several stages:

• watering plants and loosening the soil;
• weed and pest control;
• disease prevention and fertilization.

As for watering, based on reviews from experienced gardeners, it should be done once a week. You need to water generously at the roots.

It is best to do irrigation in the evening and so that drops of water do not fall on the leaves. When the soil dries out a little, it needs to be loosened so that air can freely flow to the roots.

Weeds are removed as they appear. If aphids or other small insects appear on the site, you can apply insecticides by diluting them with soapy water. Boric acid is sometimes used. It not only repels pests, but also serves as foliar feeding.

To prevent viruses and diseases, the drugs Bravo, Fitosporin and others are used. When plants are sick, they are helped by treating them with colloidal sulfur, Fundazol and other chemicals.

Surely, hunters for rare collectible varieties have already tasted the unsurpassed taste of the “Burraker Favorites” tomatoes. Now it’s the turn of those gardeners who also want to grow an unusual variety of tomatoes on their plot, characterized by high productivity, excellent taste and an original two-color color of the fruit. Meet the "Burraker's Favorites"!

Features of growing and caring for the variety

Sowing seeds

Seeds are disinfected by sprinkling for 15 minutes. in a 1% solution of potassium permanganate. Then they are germinated by placing them in a moistened cloth for several days.

Make a substrate for containers. You can purchase ready-made soil for tomatoes, or you can make it yourself. Mix 4 parts peat soil, 4 parts leaf soil and 1 part sand. You can add 2 tbsp to the prepared soil mixture. spoons of wood ash.

Seeds can be sown in boxes, and then planted or immediately sown in peat pots. Sprinkle the seeds with a 2 cm layer of soil and water the plantings. Cover the boxes with film and put them in a warm place with an air temperature of +23-25 ​​C.

When the first shoots appear, the cover is removed and the boxes are placed in the light.

The air temperature should be +18 C. And when 2-3 true leaves appear, the seedlings are dived into pots. After picking, the air temperature in the room should be +21-23 C during the day, and +18-19 C at night. You can additionally illuminate the seedlings with fluorescent lamps. Water the seedlings as soon as the top layer of soil dries. It is impossible not to water the sprouts and also to flood them, otherwise they will get blackleg. You can feed the seedlings with Kemira fertilizer.

Preparing for landing

2 weeks before transplanting, they begin to harden the seedlings. Slightly lower the temperature in the room, by 1-2 C. This is done by opening the window slightly for a while. Afterwards the bushes are placed on the loggia for 10 minutes. per day, gradually increase the time the seedlings stay on the loggia.

Planting seedlings

In the fall, fertilizers are scattered on the ground, then dug up. In the spring, they dig up the soil again with a pitchfork.

Since tomatoes are tall, no more than 3 bushes are planted per 1 m2. Make holes, keeping a distance of 70 cm between them. Place seedlings in the holes. This variety can be planted a little deeper to allow additional roots to grow. After planting, the bushes are watered. They must be tied to a trellis.

If you planted seedlings in an open area, you can cover them with film at first, and then accept them.

Care

Tomatoes, especially tall ones, definitely require watering, weeding, and mulching.

After planting, tomatoes begin to be watered a week later. Water them 2 times a week. When buds form and flower, seedlings are watered abundantly. Be sure to water only with warm and well-settled water, trying to pour it under the root without getting on the flowers.

In the greenhouse the air temperature should be about +23-25 ​​C during the day, and +18 C at night, humidity 55-60%. Too dry air is not suitable for tomatoes, since the flowers will not set, the plants will grow slowly, and high humidity is also harmful to the bushes, otherwise they may get rot. The greenhouse must be constantly ventilated.

Tomatoes are fertilized 4-5 times per season. The first time you can feed it by diluting 1 part mullein in 10 parts water. Instead of mullein, you can chop the grass into a barrel, fill it with water, and leave it for a week. Then dilute with water again and water the tomatoes.

And during flowering and fruit formation, the bushes are fed with phosphorus and potassium. Flowers set more actively if they are sprayed with a solution of boric acid.

Important

! It is imperative to form bushes into 1-2 stems and cut off all the stepsons. In the last month of summer, it is advised to pinch the growing point, then all the ovaries will be able to fill and ripen.

Attention

! You can pick tomatoes at technical ripeness, when they are still green or slightly brown. Then the bushes will spend their energy on the growth of other tomatoes.

Landing in the ground

To make planting seedlings in a garden bed less painful, young bushes should be prepared for this process - that is, hardened off. Hardening begins a couple of weeks before the important moment. To do this, the temperature in the room where the tomatoes live is gradually lowered, bringing it down to street temperature. Every day, seedlings are taken out to the veranda or balcony so that the young shoots get used to new external factors.

Tomatoes are planted in the greenhouse in early May. The soil for the beds is prepared in advance, a good portion of humus or compost is added to it. Do not forget to supply the soil with mineral components (for example, superphosphate). The holes for seedlings are not made too large, up to 25 centimeters in diameter and 15 centimeters deep. The gap between the holes is 50-60 centimeters. Leave 70 centimeters between rows. It is recommended to place no more than 4 plants per square meter. It is best to build a bed in a checkerboard pattern. When planting seedlings, they are slightly buried to promote the growth of additional roots. After planting, the bushes are not watered, leaving alone for 7-10 days.

If Burraker's favorites were planted in open ground, then until mid-June the plantings should be kept under temporary film cover.

Burraker tomatoes are grown in Russia mainly in greenhouse conditions, where an ideal environment is created for the growth of strong and powerful bushes and the formation of numerous fruits. Caring for tall tomatoes in a greenhouse is somewhat different from open ground. There are some nuances here, neglect of which can spoil the impression of the variety due to receiving low-quality tomatoes.

Basic rules for caring for Burraker pets:

• When growing tomatoes in a greenhouse, you must carefully monitor the air temperature and humidity. A prerequisite for the proper development of plants in a greenhouse is a comfortable temperature. Therefore, it is so important to maintain temperature control: +23-25 ​​degrees during the day and +18-20 degrees at night. Optimal air humidity is 55-65%.

High humidity is especially dangerous, as it can lead to the development of fungal diseases. This is the main disadvantage of cultivating vegetables in a greenhouse. But you can achieve optimal humidity by regularly ventilating the beds. On hot days, greenhouse doors and windows are opened to avoid excessively high temperatures, at which plants can drop their ovaries and their pollen becomes sterile.

• In the first two weeks after planting a tomato in the garden, you should not get carried away with watering and fertilizing. Feeding plants can lead to fattening of bushes: growth of abundant green mass, stretching of stems. All this provokes a delay in the development of the bush in terms of flowering and ovary formation. As a result, the harvest will be obtained much later than the stated deadline.
• Tomatoes need to be watered rarely, but very generously. Be sure to apply at the root, avoiding water getting on the stems and leaves. If the greens get wet often, a harmful fungus will soon appear on it, which is impossible to get rid of. Wet leaves often rot, deteriorate, turn yellow, and, naturally, all this affects the health of the plant as a whole. Since moisture evaporates in a greenhouse for a long time, it is enough to water once a week. You can determine the need for watering by the degree of soil moisture - if it has already dried out enough, it means it’s time to “water” the plants.

The amount of watering should be increased during flowering and fruit formation.

Please note : for the first 7-9 days, the tomato beds are not watered at all.

• In a state of constant moisture, the soil quickly becomes compacted, as a result of which its carrying capacity decreases. Water and air do not penetrate well into the depths, causing stunted plant development. These consequences are also caused by excessively dry soil, on the surface of which a crust forms. The situation can be corrected using the loosening technique. It should be carried out after watering in order to use a tool (hoe or chopper) to break up the resulting lumps of earth. Loosening instantly saturates the soil with oxygen, and moisture immediately reaches the roots.

• To prevent frequent drying out of the soil and retain moisture in the soil as long as possible, gardeners often resort to mulching. This method allows you to maintain the desired humidity and temperature of the soil and prevents the growth of weeds. You can use mown grass or sawdust as mulch, which, when rotted, will serve as a natural fertilizer.
• Proper formation of the bush can double the yield. Burraquer tomatoes are preferably grown in one or two stems. It is much easier to form a bush into one stem, because to do this, all the stepsons are cut off, leaving only the central trunk. When growing with double trunks, one additional shoot is also left growing under the first flower cluster.

Characteristics and description of the variety

The bushes are indeterminate, that is, tall and do not stop growing even after flowering. Therefore, professionals advise forming bushes into 2 stems, tying the stems and side shoots to the trellis.

The bushes are not standard; they need to be pinched. The number of leaves on the trunk is average. The first flower cluster appears after the 7th leaf.

Large, fleshy, round fruits grow on the bushes; they are slightly flattened. They have fleshy flesh and thick skin. The fruits are golden yellow in color and covered with red specks and veins. The pulp has a similar shade. Tomatoes are sweet and aromatic. There are few seeds.

Advantages and disadvantages of the variety

Advantages:

• very large fruits;
• the tomatoes are very sweet, almost without sourness, juicy, a fruity note is clearly felt in the taste;
• the variety is immune to tomato diseases;
• unpretentious to environmental conditions.

Flaws:

The variety is not for the lazy; the bushes require tying up and pinching.

Burraker favorites: why gardeners value them

For those who love large-fruited tomatoes, this variety will be an excellent choice. And this is one of the main advantages of Burraker’s favorites - the fairly large weight of the fruit. Let us also note the other “advantages”:

• excellent taste of the fruit (sweet, juicy, with a pleasant piquant fruity note);
• disease resistance;
• unpretentiousness to weather conditions.

It is difficult to note anything significant among the shortcomings; for the most part, the variety is praised. Some note the frailty of the bush, but most likely this depends on agricultural technology and proper care. There are different data on yield, as some say that the results are excellent, others talk about average indicators.

The main purpose of the variety

Tomatoes are very good fresh; they are eaten and added to salads. They are used to make sauces, ketchups, and purees. The fruits are not placed in marinades, as they are very large and will not fit into the neck of the jar. Most juices are made from red tomatoes, so the juice obtained from these fruits will not be the traditional amber color.

Advantages

This variety is highly resistant to negative factors not only during the growth period, but also during fruit set. Such factors include cold weather, rainy and sunny weather. The tomato is resistant to top rotting of fruits and fusarium. The culture's resistance to other diseases can be called average, which is also not bad.
