Application. The variety is ideal for fresh consumption, preparing all kinds of dishes, sauces and preparing tomato juice for the winter. Whole tomatoes are not suitable for preservation due to the large size of the fruit. Due to its tendency to crack, “Bull's Heart” cannot be transported over long distances.

Characteristics and features of the variety

Tomato Golden Heart

The Oxheart tomato has characteristics and descriptions similar to other mid-late varieties. However, it has its own characteristics. This is not a hybrid. Its seeds are suitable for planting in subsequent seasons. Now breeders have bred a fairly large number of Bull's Heart hybrids. They all have large fruits, but differ in the color of the tomatoes. Hybrid tomatoes (F1) can be colored yellow, orange, pink, white, lilac-raspberry. The most unusual hybrid of the variety is black.

The most unusual hybrid

Frost resistance

The variety is not frost-resistant. Recommended for growing outdoors in the southern regions. In the central regions of our country (for example, in the Moscow region) and northern regions, Heart tomatoes are best grown in greenhouses. A greenhouse will do. Seeds are not planted in open ground. Seedlings are prepared in advance, since spring frosts even around 0...+4 degrees can negatively affect the plant.

Productivity

This is a mid-late variety. From the first shoots to harvest it takes about 3.5 months or a little more. If you plant seeds for seedlings in March, as is usually done with mid-late tomatoes, then at the end of July the ripe fruits can be harvested.

Provided proper care and warm summers, the yield is quite high - 6-10 kg are harvested from the bush. If care is mediocre, then you can get 2-4 kg per square meter. There is usually one plant per square meter.

Bloom

The first flower stalks can be seen a month after planting in a permanent place. So, if planting took place on the 20th of May, then flowering will begin on the 20th of June. Flowering lasts about 7-10 days. Next, fruit ovaries appear.

Bloom

The Oxheart tomato is pollinated by insects. The best pollinators are bees. If the tomato does not grow in open ground, then it is necessary to provide insects with access to the crop. The greenhouse must be ventilated. It is best to keep the doors open during the day. Tomato flowers do not have an attractive scent to bees. Experienced gardeners recommend placing jars of sweet jam at the entrance to the greenhouse. This will attract pollinators.

Bull's heart blooms with medium-sized flowers. The color of the petals is bright gold or deep yellow.

Plant parameters

The Oxheart tomato is a determinate species. The bush is tall. Powerful. Not standard. Erect. Can stretch up to 1.4-1.9 m. A garter to a support is required. Usually there are 4-6 clusters on the stem. Each cluster can grow 3-5 tomatoes.

The stem is covered with small hairs. An adult plant has hard stems. The leaves are medium. There aren't too many of them. Emerald color. The shape is elongated. There are nicks. There are small hairs and clear veins.

On a note! Tomatoes of different shapes and sizes can grow on the bush.

Description of fruits

The fruit of the Bull's Heart variety is large in size. The largest tomatoes are observed on the stem in the first cluster. Their weight is from 350 to 800 grams. Some gardeners grew tomatoes that weighed 1.1 kg. The average weight of this variety of tomatoes is about 150-300 grams.

One bush can produce berries of different shapes with a smooth or ribbed surface. It is usually an irregular circle shape. The definition of shape used is heart-shaped. The upper part of the fruit is more massive than the lower. The lower one tapers towards the end. The tip is sharp.

During ripening, the berries change color. At milk maturity they are green. Then they acquire a golden color. When technically ripe, the fruits are red. Ripe tomatoes may have pinkish or burgundy hues.

The skin is thin but durable. Easily separates. The pulp is fleshy, with few seeds. The number of chambers in one fruit is 3-5. The aroma is distinct and classic. The color of the pulp is red. The taste is sweetish with a spicy sour note. Not watery.

In the context

The Oxheart tomato is a salad tomato. It is not suitable for canning due to its large size. Tomatoes are also used to prepare side dishes, added to soup and meat dishes. A delicious tomato sauce is prepared from this variety.

Keeping quality is decent. For example, tomatoes can stay in the refrigerator for about 20 days without losing their marketable qualities. When transporting over long distances, some of the fruits (about 4-7%) may be damaged.

Growing seedlings

To obtain high-quality planting material, a number of measures should be taken, paying attention to temperature conditions, watering, and the quality of the soil mixture.

Sowing

To grow seedlings, work begins at the end of January. Sowing seeds to obtain seedlings for greenhouses is planned for mid-January - early February, this applies to the southern regions. If tomatoes are planned to be grown indoors, then sowing the seeds is carried out no earlier than March.

When preparing the earthen mixture, attention should be paid to the following nuances:

• acidity index from 5.5-6.5;
• when preparing it yourself, use light turf soil as a basis, with the addition of sand, peat and rotted humus;
• disinfection is required by watering with a slightly pink solution of manganese;
• permissible temperature of the soil mixture is from 15 to 20°C.

Seeds are sown in rows in trays 1/3 filled with soil. The depth of the “hole” is 0.5 -1 cm. The distance between the rows is at least 10 cm. After sowing, the soil is moistened, covered with film and placed in a dark place. Adhering to a temperature regime of 24 to 26 ° C, the first shoots can be seen on days 5-7.

Picking

After 15-20 days, at the stage of development of the first two true leaves, a dive is carried out. The purpose of the technique is to stimulate the development of a fibrous root system and plant seedlings in individual containers. Tomatoes are planted in glasses or cassettes.

The height of the glass is at least 10-12 cm, with a diameter of 7-10 cm. The plant is transplanted into a container, deepening the stem along the cotyledon. Afterwards, the soil is moistened with a weak solution of manganese, this will help avoid the occurrence of diseases in the early stages of seedling development. For better survival, the temperature in the greenhouse is raised to 22-25°C.

Basic requirements for growing seedlings

To obtain high-quality material with a well-developed leaf apparatus, a strong stem and a powerful root system, attention should be paid to the following factors:

1. Light mode . The length of daylight hours is at least 14-16 hours a day. Lack of light has a negative effect on young plants: the stems become thinner and elongated, the leaves acquire a pale yellowish tint. For additional illumination, phytolamps with a power of 200 to 450 watts are used.
2. Air temperature . As soon as the tomatoes have rooted after picking, the temperature is lowered by five degrees. Temperatures at night can range from 12 to 14°C.
3. Watering . During the seedling stage, it is important to avoid overwatering. Moistening is carried out as the soil dries. Excess moisture provokes the development of fungal diseases, rot and “black leg”. If the plant wilts in sunny weather and the mixture remains wet, no additional watering should be done.
4. An effective way to reduce the temperature in a greenhouse is to spray water over the plants. It should be remembered that overdrying the soil, especially at the stage of laying buds, is unacceptable and leads to drying out of the planted brush.

Growing

Tomato Eagle Heart

The Bull's Heart tomato has its own characteristics in terms of agricultural technology. Due to its rather whimsical nature, the crop is rarely grown on an industrial scale. But these tomatoes can often be seen in gardens.

Landing

The plant is cultivated by seedling method. Seedlings are sown in March. She needs about 1.5-2 months to grow and get stronger.

Appearance of seedlings

Seeds need to be prepared for planting. First, they are placed in a growth stimulator for 2 hours. Next, bathe for 30 minutes in a jar of manganese solution for disinfection. They are germinated in damp gauze for several days.

The soil mixture is poured into a large container or wooden box. It must contain peat, sand, humus. You can purchase ready-made soil for seedlings at a specialized store.

It is recommended to plant the seeds in moist soil to a depth of 1-1.5 cm. The distance between the seeds is 3 cm. Next, the container is covered with glass or cling film. This is necessary to create a greenhouse effect, and the seeds germinate faster. After 5-10 days you will be able to see the first shoots. Glass or film is removed. The box is placed on the windowsill. Tomatoes need warmth (about +24 degrees) and sunlight. The soil is watered as needed. Do not allow it to dry out or become waterlogged.

When 2 strong leaves appear on the plants, the seedlings can be planted. Each tomato is transplanted into a separate cup. You can use halves of plastic bottles.

Picking up seedlings

Transplantation into the ground is permitted after 50-70 days from the date of sowing. During this period, the bushes should stretch up to 20-30 cm. Before the crop is planted in the garden, it must be hardened off. To do this, a few weeks before planting, the plants are taken outside. On the first day for 3 minutes, on the second – by 6, on the third – by 15 and so on. This procedure is necessary for the tomatoes to acclimatize and quickly get used to the garden.

The bed for the crop is prepared in advance. They're digging her up. For each square meter, add 3-5 kg ​​of compost; you can use humus. Ash must be added. It acts as a fertilizer and a remedy against diseases and pests.

The Bull's Heart variety is tall and needs a large area. The distance between neighboring bushes is 0.7-1 m. Each bush is buried in a hole to the place where the first leaf begins to grow. The approximate depth of the planting hole is 10-17 cm. The holes must be well drained. The variety grows very quickly and needs more nutrition than miniature varieties. You can add a spoonful of complex fertilizer during planting. Nitrophoska will do.

Important! Oxheart tomatoes grow well in soil with neutral acidity. The soil should be loose, breathable, and not waterlogged.

Care

Caring for the crop consists of the following activities:

• Garter;
• Bush formation;
• Watering;
• Mulching;
• Ventilation of the greenhouse;
• Feeding;
• Weeding, loosening;
• Prevention and treatment of diseases and pests.

Garter

The Oxheart tomato will not be able to grow normally without support. The plant has a powerful, tall stem. But even he can bend and fall under the weight of the fruit. A support in the form of a wooden stake or stick is placed next to the plant immediately after planting. A stem is tied to it. Branches with fruits can be fixed on the support.

Bush formation

The bush needs to be formed. Otherwise, it will grow and produce weak fruit. Usually 1 stem is left, maximum 2-3. It is also better to regulate the number of branches. One stem should have no more than 6-9 branches with ovaries. It is necessary to pruning, that is, cutting off unnecessary shoots that grow on the leaf axils. You need to form a bush every 10-14 days.

Growing tomatoes

Watering and mulching

This variety needs timely watering. It is recommended to carry out the procedure every 4 days. One bush consumes 3-5 liters of warm, settled water. During the period of flowering and formation of ovaries, 5-6 liters of water are poured under each bush. The root system of tomatoes is deep, so you need to shed the soil efficiently. Due to lack of moisture, tomatoes may crack. The soil around the bush needs to be mulched. Straw, grass, hay, and peat are suitable as mulch. The protective layer will not only retain moisture in the soil longer, but will also help maintain the temperature at the same level. Such work is necessary even if the tomato is greenhouse.

Ventilation of the greenhouse

This is done to ensure that there is no stagnation of air in the closed structure of the protected ground. This can cause increased humidity, which leads to the spread of fungal diseases. In good weather, it is better to keep the greenhouse open during the day. This way the air circulates better. In addition, insects can fly into an open structure and act as pollinators.

Feeding

Ox heart requires a fairly large amount of nutrition. Therefore, every 14-20 days it needs to be fertilized a little. Before flowering, it is allowed to water the bushes with infusions of chicken droppings and mullein. Complex additives are used during and after flowering. You can buy ready-made ones in specialized stores. The main thing is that they have enough microelements, potassium, phosphorus, nitrogen. However, you should be careful with the latter. A large amount of a substance such as nitrogen can lead to too rapid growth of the crop.

Additional Information. Fly ash can be used as fertilizer. 2 cups of ash are placed in the root zone. But you cannot mix ash and nitrogen. They form ammonia. This is a volatile compound. It promotes the evaporation of nutrients.

Loosening and removing weeds

These procedures can be combined with watering, mulching or fertilizing. Conducted as needed.

Prevention and treatment of diseases and pests

To grow a healthy plant that will produce a decent harvest, the crop must be protected from disease. To do this, you need to organize prevention. The Ox Heart variety is immune to many diseases. However, it can be overcome by late blight. Its signs are dark blurry spots on green fruits. These spots act like an acid, eating away the surface of the fruit. It is difficult to fight a disease when it is already spoiling mature tomatoes. Therefore, prevention is necessary. As a preventive measure, 2-3 weeks after planting the seedlings in a permanent place, they are watered with a fungicide. You can use HOM, Ridomil, etc. After another 14 days, the action is repeated.

You need to constantly keep an eye on the bushes. If a gardener sees brown spots on the leaves, the leaves should be torn off and burned.

Note! Late blight occurs due to high humidity. Therefore, you need to constantly ventilate the greenhouse and not over-moisten the soil under the bush. An important point in preventing the disease is maintaining a distance of 0.7-1 m between bushes.

A special feature of Bull's Heart is that the leaves repel some pests. Therefore, the crop is practically not eaten by insects.

Planting in a greenhouse

A few days before planting, the temperature in the greenhouse is gradually lowered to the conditions of a greenhouse or open ground. Seedlings are planted in rows at a distance of 30-35 cm from each other. The row spacing should be at least 80-90 cm. The depth of the hole is on average up to 30 cm. After planting, the plants are watered abundantly.

Basic care

The “Bull's Heart” tomato is quite demanding to care for. With improper care, you can lose part of the harvest, get small fruits and insufficient taste. The basis of a good harvest is:

• tying bushes or arranging trellises;
• stepsoning;
• weed removal;
• carrying out mineral and organic fertilizing;
• preventive treatments for diseases;
• pest control.

Top dressing

At all stages of development, a tomato needs nutrition. The first fertilizing is carried out 10-12 days after planting, by applying complex mineral fertilizer. The most necessary substances for tomatoes are Nitrogen, Potassium and Phosphorus.

1. Nitrogen. Promotes the growth of green mass and proper formation of the plant.
2. Phosphorus. Necessary for the development of a powerful root system. Should be applied at all growth stages.
3. Potassium. It is required for filling fruits; taste qualities also depend on it.

To ensure good fruit set, tomatoes are fed with Boron. And to prevent blossom end rot, calcium supplements are added.

Characteristics of the variety

The tomato variety “Bull's Heart” belongs exclusively to the mid-season varieties of this vegetable:

• The first fruit can be obtained after 120-130 days from the moment the product sprouts in the ground.
• On average, one bush can bring about three and a half to five kilograms. This indicator applies exclusively to open ground cultivation. If such a tomato is grown exclusively in greenhouses, the harvest will be twice as large and will be about eight to twelve kilograms.
• This type of plant has a small amount of foliage on its bush, but is naturally powerful. Also the bushes are tall and of a determinate type. After about 5-6 first fruits are formed, plant growth stops. This is justified by the fact that all forces are directed towards the formation of the fetus. The stem is up to 1.8 meters long. The ovary of the first fruit, as a rule, forms on the eighth or ninth leaf. Next, the fruits ripen at intervals of two leaves. Each cluster can ripen up to five fruits.

Most experts attribute the fact that ripened fruits can be of completely different volumes and sizes to the peculiarities of “Bull’s Heart”. In the entire history of the existence of this variety of tomato, its largest fruit is a tomato measuring about 500 grams. As practice shows, the largest fruits grow from below. And those fruits that ripen on the very top tier of the bush weigh no more than 200 grams. As for resistance to various diseases, this variety is average. Late blight is a disease that most often affects the plant. In order for the harvest to be as rich as possible, you need to pay attention to the soil; it should be light.

Also among the advantages of such a plant is the fact that when transporting the fruit over a sufficiently long distance, the product does not deteriorate at all.

Flowering and appearance of ovaries: All of the five plants are blooming at 13.05. First ovaries 20.05 (81st day from germination). The famous ox's heart tomatoes grow in extreme conditions, without shelter in open ground. The greenhouse was blown away by the wind long ago and far away. Because of this, I had to tie all the ground tomatoes to the supports, although I initially did not plan to do this. The prolonged cold stopped the development of plants. There were frosts for several nights in a row with temperatures only +3. No watering required, rains every day. Fertilizing with mineral fertilizer was done once, 2 weeks after planting in the exhaust zone. Fruiting: Fruiting from 06/05/07.
