Tomato Rosamarin pound – greenhouse and table decoration

Today I would like to present a very beautiful large-fruited pink tomato of the Russian selection 'Rosamarin pound' (not to be confused with another popular tomato 'Rosamarin F1'). This variety was included in the Russian register in 2008.

Tomatoes

Already from the name it becomes clear that the tomatoes will be large-fruited, about 500 g (a pound is about 450 g). Last year I planted this variety at the edge of the greenhouse and then realized that I had made a mistake. This variety needs to plan a lot of space at once. Everything about it is powerful - the leaves, the stem, and the fruits themselves.

07/12/2018 This year I allocated a place for Rosamarin in the middle of the greenhouse, on the edge, and he showed himself in all his glory, becoming a true decoration of the greenhouse. 'Rosamarin pound' in the middle bed on the right

I sown tomato seeds for seedlings on March 1 and planted them in the greenhouse in early May. In the fall of 2022, the greenhouse was sowed with mustard. It rose en masse in the spring of 2022, when the sun began to get hot. A week before planting, I dug up the mustard. The soil became simply excellent, I would even say “tasty.” And this year’s tomatoes prove that the value of green manure is not exaggerated.

The 'Rosamarin pound' variety is indeterminate, with unlimited growth, mid-season. The foliage is dark green. The leaf is powerful, large, not cut, they are called “potato leaf”.

To prevent late blight, I treated tomatoes with Ordan a couple of times. After the tomatoes turned brown, I sprayed them with Fitosporin several times, since it has no waiting period.

This year, due to a very hot and dry June, the tomatoes were attacked by blossom end rot. Mainly plum tomatoes 'Velikosvetsky' and 'Stolypin' were affected. but I had to spray the entire greenhouse with calcium nitrate. And with the beginning of July came cool weather and daily rains. In August, the weather did not improve, only the temperature dropped even more (+13. +14 °C is not enough for summer). Because of this weather, both in July and now, I water the greenhouse very rarely - once every two weeks. The ground is mulched with hay. That’s why my tomatoes are holding out for now... but in the street garden, in the open ground, there are already fruits infected with late blight, but given this weather, this is not surprising.

But even with such initial data, 'Rosamarin pound' is pleasing. The cluster bears 3 to 5 fruits weighing 400-700 g:

12.07.2019

The tomatoes began to ripen by mid-July.

07/20/2019 The color of the fruit is bright pink outside and inside. The shape is round, flattened on both sides. There is pronounced ribbing at the base.

The weight of the fetus ranges from 400 to 700 g.

Weight When cut, the fruit is multi-chambered, with a small number of seeds: Section When tasting, it is noted that the pulp simply melts in the mouth. It is juicy, sweet, with slightly pronounced sourness. The skin is thin. My mother says about this variety: “It’s just a watermelon, not a tomato!” Incision

The only downside to this tomato is its low transportability. Storage about 2 weeks.

Tomatoes: advantages and disadvantages

"Rosemary pound" has a number of positive qualities:

• Huge fruit size and fleshiness;
• Disease resistance;
• Not picky about care;
• Ability to be stored for a long time;
• Rich vitamin composition of fruits;
• Extension of fruit ripening time;
• High yield.

The variety also has disadvantages:

• The bush needs support;
• The fruits may burst during transportation due to the thin skin;
• In cold summers the bushes develop worse;
• The variety is sensitive to fertilizing.

Diseases and pests

"Rosemary pound" is resistant to diseases and has strong immunity from many pests.

Even with manufacturers’ promises of high disease resistance, preventive treatment (spraying) with microbiological drugs is mandatory.

"Rosemary pound" will not be out of place in your greenhouse. We wish you to treat yourself to an excellent harvest of delicious tomatoes!

Growing tomatoes

How to prepare seeds?

To prevent the occurrence of fungi, tomato seeds can be specially prepared:

• Sorting. Take a glass of water, dissolve a spoonful of salt in it and pour the seeds into the solution. Diseased and empty seeds will float to the surface, and those ready for germination will settle to the bottom.
• Warming up. To destroy fungal spores, you can place the seed material in an oven preheated to 60 degrees. You need to warm it up for about 3 hours, stirring the seeds constantly.
• Disinfection. You can also soak the seeds in a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution. The procedure is carried out for no more than 10 minutes, so as not to burn the material.
• Bioactivation. To increase immunity, the seed material is placed in aloe juice for 12 hours and then dried in air.

Sowing seed material

It is important to sow seeds correctly for seedlings:

• The pots are filled with soil (garden soil, sand, peat, humus);
• Water the soil;
• Seeds are immersed in the ground no more than 1.5 cm;
• Sprinkle peat on top;
• Cover with film and place in a dark place;
• When sprouts appear, the film is removed and the pots are placed in a brightly lit place.

It is also advisable to feed the seedlings every two weeks, and 14 days before transplanting, harden the young bushes by placing them in fresh cool air for several hours.

Rules for planting seedlings

At the end of May, the seedlings are moved to a permanent place:

• Dig holes;
• Pour boiling water for disinfection;
• Sprinkle with peat;
• A support for the bush is placed in the hole;
• Remove the sprouts from the pots;
• Place the seedlings at the bottom of the holes;
• Cover with soil;
• Water generously.

Bush care

Bushes need the following simple care:

1. Regular watering of plants in cloudy weather or in the evenings. There should be a lot of water, but you should not flood the roots;
2. Loosening the soil after watering is necessary so that a crust does not appear on the ground, which will limit the access of oxygen to the root system;
3. Weeding;
4. Application of mineral and organic fertilizers. The procedure is carried out once every 14 days until fruits begin to set on the bushes.

Pest and disease control

After transplanting Rosemary tomato seedlings, it is advisable to treat them with a fungicide, for example:

• "Profit";
• "Fitosporin";
• "Skor";
• "Ordan".

If a colony of insects is found, it must be destroyed immediately. For this, folk remedies (ash solution, laundry soap shavings, ammonia) or insecticides are used:

• "Fufanon";
• "Confidor";
• "Aktara";
• "Decis".

Warning! Treatment of Rosemary tomato bushes is carried out in the evening, in dry and windless weather (if the bushes grow in open ground). Harvesting can begin at least 5-10 days after the last spraying.

general description

Rosamarin pound is a tomato variety bred by Russian breeders. In 2008 it was included in the Russian register. It is produced by various manufacturers, in particular Gavrish.

Note! Rosamary pound is often confused with Rosemary F1. These are different tomato crops with different characteristics.

Since Rosamarin pound is a cultivar, the seeds from the fruit can be used for planting. They are collected from berries ripened on the bush, washed and dried. Store planting material in fabric bags.

Distinctive features

Rosamarin pound differs from other varieties in the unusual shape of its fruit. Its berries are deep pink inside and out. They are round, flattened on both sides, with pronounced ribbing at the base, which extends onto the body of the tomatoes, literally dividing them into slices.

A photo of the fruit is presented below.

The pulp of such fruits is tender and literally melts in your mouth. It has a sweet taste with barely noticeable sourness.

The berries are large. Each of them weighs almost half a kilogram. It is for its large fruit that the tomato received the name Rosamarin pound.

Another distinctive feature of the variety is the increased content of vitamin A in the fruit pulp. Therefore, it is especially useful for children and people suffering from cardiovascular diseases.

The tomato is immune to the most common nightshade diseases. He is not afraid of late blight either. This greatly facilitates cultivation and reduces the need to use chemicals.

Main characteristics

Rosamarin pound has high immunity and excellent taste of the fruit. The description of this variety will please even experienced gardeners.

Characteristics of Rosamarin pound:

Description of the hybrid

The table summarizes the distinctive features of tomatoes.

Reference. The pulp of Rosemary fruit contains twice as much vitamin A as compared to other tomatoes.

Growing seedlings

Growing tomato seedlings yourself is not difficult. If you follow the basic rules of sowing seeds and caring for seedlings, the plants will be strong and healthy.

Seeds are sown in early May. Since growing tomatoes of this variety is possible only in protected soil, the planting time will be the same for each region.

Seed preparation

Seeds should be prepared in advance for planting. This will increase the resistance of tomatoes to diseases and negative environmental conditions and accelerate the germination of planting material:

1. Before purchasing seeds, be sure to check expiration dates. All information must be indicated on the packaging.
2. Seeds are checked for germination. They are soaked in a solution prepared from a glass of water and a teaspoon of salt for half an hour. Specimens that float up are thrown away, and those that sink to the bottom are used for planting. They are washed under running water.
3. Planting material is disinfected. To do this, soak for 20–30 minutes in a light pink solution of potassium permanganate or hydrogen peroxide, then rinse under running water.
4. Then a growth stimulator is used. This remedy is prepared from a glass of water with a teaspoon of honey. Purchased compounds are also used, for example, “Epin”, “Zircon” and “Sodium Humate”.

Selection of containers and soil

To sow large quantities of seeds, use boxes or trays. Cut-off plastic bottles, packages of semi-finished foods and desserts are also suitable.

For picking plants, use containers with a volume of at least 300 ml. Stores sell special pots, but more often gardeners use cut-off bottles and disposable dishes.

If you plan to plant several Rosamarinum bushes, it is more convenient to use peat tablets. In this case, picking is not required.

Containers for seedlings are disinfected. They are poured with boiling water or soaked for half an hour in a solution of potassium permanganate.

Characteristics of tomato Rosemary

Rosemary tomatoes are mid-season: from the moment of planting to the appearance of the first fruits, 3.5-4 months pass. The first harvest is harvested at the end of June, with peak fruiting in July. Tomatoes can be sent to ripen in a dark, cool place.

Tomato productivity Rosemary and fruiting

The Rosemary tomato variety has good yield.

*Up to 4 Rosemary tomato bushes can be planted per 1 m2.

To get as much harvest as possible, experienced gardeners recommend paying attention to the following tips:

1. Water regularly, but moderately. Excess moisture can provoke the development of rot and lead to cracking of the fruit.
2. When growing in a greenhouse, ventilate it regularly.
3. Apply fertilizers 2 times a month.
4. Be sure to step the bush and form it into 2 stems.
5. Provide good lighting and warmth (daytime temperature from 18 degrees).

Area of ​​application of fruits

The fruits have a salad purpose. They can be used fresh for cold appetizers and vegetable cuttings. Thanks to their sweet taste, Rosemary tomatoes are suitable for various dishes - sauces, soups, juices and purees. They can be used to prepare popular preparations (lecho, squash caviar). But such fruits are not suitable for whole-fruit canning (mainly due to their large size).

Resistance to diseases and pests

The immunity of Rosemary tomatoes is quite good - they rarely suffer from diseases and pests. However, you should not completely eliminate the risk of contracting fungal, viral or bacterial infections. In addition, improper agricultural practices (excess moisture and/or lack of fertilizers) can provoke the development of the disease. Therefore, preventive treatment of seedlings after transplantation is mandatory.

Agricultural technology Rosamarina pound

Rosamarin pound is grown only in protected soil. It is under such conditions that the highest yields are recorded.

You can plant seedlings in a permanent place in early March. In protected soil, the soil will already be quite warm during this period.

Transplanting

Before planting tomatoes, prepare the soil. In autumn, the beds are dug up and cleared of plant debris. For 1 sq. m add 4 kg of humus. If the acidity of the soil is increased, it is reduced with dry lime.

In the spring, the beds are leveled with a rake, cleared of weeds, and watered with copper sulfate.

The holes are dug in rows in a checkerboard pattern. For 1 sq. m no more than three plants are planted. With a denser planting, fewer fruits will be produced on the bushes.

1 tbsp is poured into the bottom of each hole. l ash. Plants are placed in them, forming roots towards the center. The holes are covered with earth, each one is watered with a liter of water.

Tomato care

Tomato Rosamarin pound should be tied up. It is more convenient to use trellises, but wooden supports will also work. The plant is attached to the support as it grows with a synthetic thread that does not rot.

When forming a bush, one or three stems are left. The fewer trunks remain, the larger the fruits will be and the sooner the harvest will ripen.

During the pinching process, leaves up to the first cluster and withered greenery are removed. The procedure is carried out once a week. No more than three leaves are removed in one session.

Water the soil as it dries out. Use warm, settled water. If the liquid gets on the above-ground part of the plants, the likelihood of burns on the leaves will increase. Watering should be plentiful, but infrequent.

After each moistening of the soil, it is loosened. This prevents the formation of an earthen crust, which interferes with air exchange. During this procedure it is convenient to remove weeds.

Tomatoes are fertilized with complex mineral and organic fertilizers. They must contain phosphorus and potassium. Before applying fertilizing, moisten the soil abundantly.

Features of care

Rosamarinum pound will produce a bountiful harvest if properly cultivated. It has care features that every gardener needs to know about:

1. Rosamarin pound is prone to fattening. With an excess of nutrients, it forms few ovaries, and the leaves begin to curl. Tomatoes of this variety are fed only twice a season.
2. If the tomato is not fed at all, the fruits will crack. It is important to use moderation when using fertilizers.
3. Be sure to help pollinate the inflorescences of Rosamarinum pound. To do this, the bushes are shaken regularly.
4. Tomato beds are mulched . They are covered with straw, humus or hay.

Diseases and pests

Rosamarin pound has high immunity to various tomato diseases. However, it is worth following the rules of prevention:

1. Seeds, soil and containers are disinfected. Garden tools are also treated with copper sulfate.
2. It is important to monitor soil moisture.
3. The bushes are sprayed with a solution prepared from a piece of laundry soap rubbed into a bucket of water. This mixture protects tomatoes from aphids, spider mites, Colorado potato beetles and other insects.

Tomato agricultural technology

Growing rules are standard, as for all indeterminate hybrids:

• tomatoes are grown through seedlings;
• planting is carried out in well-heated soil;
• bushes are pinched and tied to supports or trellis;
• provide moderate watering with warm water;
• the soil is periodically loosened or covered with mulch;
• fertilize with complex fertilizers.

Seed preparation

Hybrid seeds do not require additional disinfection, since they are processed in production. To increase the percentage of germination, grains are soaked in ready-made growth stimulants - “Epin”, “Immunocytofit”, “Zircon” or use natural remedies:

1. Juicy aloe leaves are kept in the refrigerator for 24 hours, then the juice is squeezed through cheesecloth and diluted with water 1:1. The seeds are soaked in the solution for 4-6 hours. In addition to stimulating germination, aloe improves plant immunity.
2. A handful of onion peels and 1 tsp. wood ash pour 500 ml of boiling water and leave for three days. Before use, strain and soak the seeds in the infusion for 2-4 hours.
3. Dissolve 1 tsp in a glass of warm water. natural honey. Soak the seeds for 5-6 hours.

Important! Before processing in stimulants, the seed is soaked in melt water at room temperature until it swells.

The soil

A mixture of turf, peat and humus in a 1:1:1 ratio is ideal for growing seedlings.

Before use, the substrate is calcined in the oven at a temperature of 100-110 ° C or steamed in a double boiler for an hour.

Sowing

Sowing is done in the last week of March or early April. The seedling boxes are filled with a moist substrate and the seeds are placed in furrows 1.5 cm deep at a distance of 2 cm. Cover the top with a 1 cm layer of soil and cover with glass or film.

The boxes are taken to a dark, warm place. The optimal room temperature is not lower than +24 °C.

Seedling care

The film or glass is removed after the sprouts appear. The boxes are taken out to a sunny place. The seedlings are watered as needed, after the top layer of soil has dried.

To prevent the development of fungus, seedlings are taken out into fresh air for 20-30 minutes.

After 3-4 true leaves appear, the sprouts are planted in separate containers made of peat or plastic, carefully pinch off the root tip.

Landing in the ground

The transfer of mature seedlings begins 60-65 days after emergence, starting in mid-May. The site is chosen on the sunny side, since productivity decreases in the shade. The best predecessors of tomatoes are radishes, dill, parsley, cabbage.

The culture prefers light, nutritious soil with neutral acidity - pH 7. Dense soil is loosened with river sand or peat. The soil is brought to normal using wood ash or chalk:

• sour – 400-500 g per 1 m²;
• medium-sour – 200-300 kg 1 m²;
• slightly acidic – 200 g per 1 m².

Holes for seedlings are dug at a depth of 15-20 cm and filled with a strong solution of potassium permanganate, add 1 tbsp. l. superphosphate. The seedlings are watered abundantly with warm water and transferred together with an earthen lump from a plastic container or planted directly in a peat glass.

There are no more than three bushes per 1 m². Planting pattern – 40x60 cm.

Care

The culture does not require care; it prefers moderate watering and fertilizing with mineral compounds.

Rules of care:

1. The humidity level in the greenhouse should not exceed 70%.
2. It is undesirable to overwater the soil and at the same time allow it to dry out. The best solution to the watering problem is to install a drip system.
3. Rain or settled water is used for irrigation.
4. The bushes are pruned once every 10 days and formed into two stems.
5. At the end of the growing season, pinch off the top. The plant will stop growing, and all the energy will go to the tomatoes.
6. They tie up not only the stems, but also the flower clusters, which can break under the weight of the fruit.
7. After watering, the soil is loosened to prevent the formation of a hard crust.

Advice . Cover the soil with mulch (sawdust, straw, hay, synthetic black agrofibre) to eliminate routine weeding and loosening, retain moisture and prevent fungal infection.

Top dressing

Tomatoes are fed at least three times during the growing season according to the following scheme:

1. The first organic feeding 14 days after planting is chicken manure with the addition of water in a ratio of 1:10 or ready-made products: “Gumisol”, “Veromistin”.
2. The second feeding 14 days after the first - with complex fertilizer “Solution” containing calcium, manganese, potassium and phosphorus. For 1 bush – 2 liters of solution.
3. The third subcortex during the period of fruit appearance is “Solution”, 2.5-3 liters for each bush.

Growing difficulties

Tomatoes are sensitive to both deficiency and excess of mineral components. By the appearance of the bushes it is easy to determine the condition of the plant:

1. It gains green mass, but does not bloom - there is an excess of nitrogen in the soil. Wood ash will help reduce its amount.
2. The bushes stretch upward, the leaves turn pale - nitrogen deficiency.
3. Leaves acquire a purple tint when there is a deficiency of phosphorus, and fall off when there is an excess of it.
4. The green mass becomes dull when there is an excess of potassium and dries out when there is a deficiency.

Cultivation in open and protected ground

Rosamarin pound is grown only in protected soil. It is important to follow a few simple rules:

1. Before planting tomatoes, the walls of the greenhouse are treated with copper sulfate.
2. In the greenhouse there is increased humidity and the rapid spread of plant infections. To get rid of these shortcomings, the room is regularly ventilated.
3. Tomatoes in the greenhouse are watered only once a week.
4. To help the plants pollinate, the bushes are shaken regularly. Another option is to install a fan in the greenhouse.

Farmer reviews

Reviews from those who planted Rosamarin pound are mostly positive. This greenhouse variety pays for all the labor with a rich harvest of berries with excellent taste.

Irina, Sochi: “I grow Rosamarin in a film greenhouse. I form it into two stems. During the season, I collect at least half a bucket of tomatoes from each bush. The tomatoes are very beautiful, with a lot of ribs, just like in the photo. They are huge, fully justifying their name, the largest weigh almost a pound. They taste sweet."

Gennady, Murmansk: “I grow Rosamarin pound in a heated greenhouse. This is my favorite variety. It has large, tasty fruits. Plants do not get sick and do not require frequent feeding. I form them into one stem.”

If you grew Rosemary F1 tomatoes, please write whether you liked them or not. What was the yield and taste of the fruit under your conditions? How tall is the plant? Briefly describe what you think are the advantages and disadvantages of this tomato. If possible, attach to the comment a photo of the entire bush as a whole or individual fruits that you grew. Thank you!

Your reviews of the Rosemary tomato and additions to the description will help many gardeners evaluate this hybrid objectively and decide whether it is worth planting or not.

Description of the variety

The Rosemary tomato is included in the state register of plants of the Russian Federation for growing under film. Contains a fair amount of vitamins, especially vitamin A - twice as much as in other varieties. Pound rosemary is prescribed to patients with cardiovascular diseases as a dietary product.

When describing the variety and characteristics of the Rosemary tomato, it is worth mentioning that this plant:

• indeterminate, with a powerful root system and stem;

• its bushes grow with a large number of leaves of a characteristic carved shape and dark green color and reach a height of 130–150 centimeters;
• the inflorescence is formed after the tenth leaf, and then every two;
• resistant to many diseases.

During the season, gardeners can harvest up to 8 kilos of fruits from one square of land.

History of selection

The tomato, known to gardeners as Rosemary F1, has a different official name. It is included in the State Register of Breeding Achievements of the Russian Federation under the name “Rosamarin”. But for some reason (perhaps due to the inconvenience of pronunciation) this name did not catch on.

The new variety was included in the State Register in 2008. The application for registration has been submitted. A whole team of breeders worked on the Rosamarin F1 tomato under the leadership of S. F. Gavrish. Now the seeds are produced under different brands, but the originator remains.

Important! Sometimes manufacturers even indicate on the packaging the “folk” name of the tomato – “Rosemary”.

The originator immediately draws the attention of buyers that Rosamarin F1 is a tomato hybrid

Therefore, gardeners are often confused. Another circumstance adds to the confusion. The same agricultural company Gavrish has a variety of tomatoes called Rosamarin pound. Judging by reviews from gardeners and photos, tomatoes Rosemary pound and Rosemary F1 are practically “twin brothers”

The hybrid differs only in higher yield and the impossibility of growing from independently collected seeds. And it entered the State Register four years later than the Rosemary pound variety. The shape and weight of the fruit, the appearance of the bushes, and other characteristics are almost identical for a non-specialist.

Hybrid Rosemary F1 did not participate in the selection of the Rosemary pound variety, although, looking at the fruits, it is easy to believe otherwise

Features of cultivation

Rosemary F1 is planted as seedlings in March, or at least in early April. It is advisable to treat the seeds with potassium permanganate before planting. The time from planting seeds to harvesting the first fruits is approximately 110–115 days.

It is recommended to grow mainly in greenhouses.

If the gardener finds out that the summer is expected to be hot and plans to plant tomatoes in open beds, then the bushes that have emerged will still need film cover at first. Picking is carried out at the stage of 2–3 leaves. Then you should regularly loosen and weed the soil, water the bushes with warm water after sunset.

Harvesting occurs as the tomatoes ripen and can be extended over time.

The good thing about the Rosemary tomato is that it does not require any special care. The only thing is that it requires soil with excellent characteristics. Please note that if you add too much organic matter, the leaves on the bushes may curl.

Due to the excessive mass of fruits, the Rosemary variety needs to form a bush on a trellis with tying the stem and brushes with tomatoes.

It is recommended to plant no more than three plants per square of land. The distance between furrows is 50 centimeters. If there is insufficient watering, the fruits may crack. If the temperature inside the greenhouse is too high, then it is necessary to periodically open it and ventilate it.

Features of planting and care

Since the Rosemary F1 tomato is intended by breeders for indoor soil, the vast majority of gardeners prefer the seedling method of cultivating it. Pre-planting treatment with biostimulants and fungicides in this case is an optional step. The variety is already characterized by high germination and disease resistance.

The bushes of Rosemary F1 tomatoes are spreading and powerful. Each of them needs sufficient area for nutrition. When planting seedlings in a greenhouse, no more than three copies are placed per 1 m² with an interval of at least 50 cm between bushes and between rows. As the tomatoes grow, they are tied up. The same is done with developing brushes.

The plant needs shaping. The experience of gardeners shows that bushes that grow into two stems bear fruit most abundantly. Not only the main shoot is left on them, but also the most developed stepson just below the first fruit cluster. Other stepsons are cut off every 1.5-2 weeks, leaving no “stumps”.

When forming a tomato bush into two stems, you can cut a maximum of 3-4 leaves from it at a time

The harvest is collected very carefully. The skin of ripe fruits cracks easily; even a little effort is enough. If this recommendation is neglected, the already short shelf life of tomatoes will be further reduced.

Important! Rosemary F1 tomatoes are removed from the brushes without separating the stalks.

Regular watering is also important; with prolonged “drought,” Rosemary F1 tomatoes will inevitably crack. If it is very hot outside, water the soil daily, spending 10-12 liters per bush. Usually once every 3-4 days is enough. A reliable “indicator” is sagging leaves that lose their tone.

Feed Rosemary F1 a maximum of four times per season. The variety prefers complex organic or organomineral fertilizers. They are first introduced 1.5-2 weeks after planting the seedlings in the garden bed, then at intervals of 20-25 days.

Often, a gardener growing Rosemary F1 tomatoes is faced with the problem of leaves curling. Possible reasons:

1. High temperature and at the same time a lack of fresh air. Any greenhouse or greenhouse needs regular ventilation.
2. Adding natural organic matter to the soil in larger volumes than necessary. This not only provokes the “fatification” of Rosemary F1 tomato bushes to the detriment of the formation of fruit clusters, but also increases the risk of developing fungal infections.
3. Lack of copper. The variety is especially sensitive to the deficiency of this microelement. To “replenish reserves,” the leaves and soil are sprayed with Agrofon, KU-8, and a solution of other similar preparations. A popular way to combat deficiency is to bury pieces of copper wire in a greenhouse or wrap it around the base of the stem of each bush.

Specialized fertilizers contain a balanced complex of macro- and microelements needed specifically by tomatoes.
Important! Experienced gardeners recommend “helping” pollination. To do this, flowering tomato bushes Rosemary F1 are lightly shaken several times a day.

Fruit characteristics

The shape of the Rosemary tomato fruit is round, slightly flattened at the top and bottom. The color is bright pink, the inside resembles the pulp of a watermelon. The number of chambers with seeds can reach six. It is not suitable for pickling due to the thin skin, and care must be taken during transportation so that the fruits are not damaged.

Reviews from gardeners about the variety are most favorable. Having appeared once, Rosemary can become a permanent fixture in the garden. Distributed in Russia, Moldova and Ukraine.
