Cultivation Tips
The originator recommends the variety for seedling planting. Healthy seedlings are obtained by following simple rules:
- Plant seeds to a depth of 1–2 centimeters.
- Pre-moistening of universal soil for planting nightshade crops.
- Temperature conditions from 21 degrees.
- Timely watering with water at room temperature.
- A lighting source that organizes a 16-hour sunny day.
IMPORTANT! Hardening off seedlings before planting in open ground ensures better tomato yields.
The hybrid variety of Russian selection is not demanding in care. To obtain a decent harvest, it is necessary to follow simple rules of agricultural technology: watering, loosening the soil and removing weeds, feeding with complex mineral fertilizer.
Reviews from gardeners
Good day! I recommend the Vasily tomato variety for growing in Chelyabinsk. The plant tolerates unfavorable weather conditions well, the yield remains high. Loves feeding. Greenhouse growing conditions require regular ventilation of the room. I recommend!
Victor Antonov, 43 years old
Good afternoon! I have been planting Vasily tomatoes for several years now. The variety is early ripening and suitable for central Russia. One of its features is cold resistance. The heat-loving variety bears fruit well in cool summer conditions. I recommend!
General information about the variety
During breeding, tomato varieties characterized by rapid ripening and resistance to cold were used as source material. The painstaking work yielded amazing results. Today, Vasily tomatoes are grown even in the Chelyabinsk region, which has a rather harsh climate and cold summers. The domestic breeder has surpassed all his foreign competitors by creating a hardy and well-fruiting tomato variety. To understand this, you need to study the description of its main characteristics.
The bush is low with a straight and thick stem. The root system is well developed, firmly held in the soil, preventing the plant from falling even in strong winds. The crown of the bush is of medium density, the leaves are hard, corrugated, dark green in color. The plants do not need staking; in rare cases, it is necessary to install supports for individual branches.
The characteristics of the fruit are as follows:
- average weight – 100 g;
- shape – regular spherical;
- color – bright red, uniform without spots on the cuttings;
- peel – smooth, shiny, dense;
- the number of berries in one bunch is 5-6;
- taste – rich, sweet without acid.
As for the yield, it is quite high for an early northern variety. One greenhouse with a hundred bushes can produce up to a ton of tasty and beautiful tomatoes per season. On average, each plant produces about 10 kg of fruit. Fruiting lasts a long time, until the first night frost. In the middle zone, you can pick tomatoes until mid-autumn.
Vasily tomatoes are widely used in cooking. The very first fruits are served on the table in the form of salads and slices. With a gradual increase in the number of ripe berries, they are used for canning, juices, lecho and pastes. The fruits tolerate transportation and storage well in shallow boxes or cardboard boxes. Thanks to its presentable appearance, the Vasily variety is in demand among buyers.
Tomato Summer resident - a variety for busy gardeners
The Summer Resident tomato did not get its name by chance. After all, summer residents, although very enthusiastic people, are mostly busy with their main jobs and cannot visit their gardens every day. This tomato does not require constant participation in its destiny; it easily forgives the absence of the owner on the site.
Description of the Dachnik variety, its characteristics, growing region
The Summer Resident tomato is not young: it was registered in the State Register of the Russian Federation in 1999. The variety was obtained by specialists from the All-Russian Research Institute of Vegetable Growing; the originator was, among other things, the seed industry. At that time, there was no such wave of new varieties and hybrids, and each new product could be tracked by amateur gardeners. The summer resident turned out to be a lifesaver for many enthusiasts, although it is officially approved for cultivation only in the North Caucasus region, of course, in open ground. Yes, it is not profitable to plant this tomato in a greenhouse: its bush is not tall, and a lot of free space will be wasted. But in those regions where tomatoes can grow without greenhouses, gardeners began to plant this variety with pleasure.

Brief description of the tomato variety Dachnik according to the State Register
The Dachnik variety is a representative of determinate tomatoes; its bushes rarely exceed the half-meter mark in height and practically do not require the formation or even tying of shoots. The bush is semi-spreading in shape, branching and foliage are at an average level. Leaves are of normal size and color. 4–5 fruits are formed in the cluster.
The summer resident’s bushes are small, but covered with fruits
In terms of ripening time, the variety is classified as an early ripening variety; the first fruits ripen approximately 100 days after germination. In the south, it is sometimes even considered ultra-early, although now there are many varieties that ripen a week or two earlier than Dachnik. The first wave of the harvest, lasting one and a half to two weeks, is the main one, then fruiting continues little by little until frost.
The fruits are medium-sized, round or flat-round in shape, scarlet or red in color, containing at least four seed nests. The weight is in the range of 50–100 g: tomatoes cannot be called leveled. The taste of fresh fruits is characterized as good, with a pronounced “tomato” aroma. The skin is thin, the pulp is medium dense. The main purpose is salad, but the size of the fruit allows them to be preserved as a whole.
Since at the time of its appearance the variety was recommended for commercial production, that is, for large agricultural enterprises, its tests were carried out not in small gardens, but in field conditions, where it showed good yield. In official documents it is given in terms of per hectare. On average, the variety produces from 250 to 350 c/ha, which is at the level of standard commercial varieties. In the open ground, summer residents, with not very careful care, can harvest up to 4 kg of tomatoes per square meter. The possibility of industrial cultivation is based, among other things, on the good transportability of the crop. Fresh tomatoes can be stored for up to three weeks.

Advantages and disadvantages
- early ripening;
- stable yield, independent of weather conditions;
- good taste;
- relatively good resistance to diseases;
- long-term fruiting.
No significant deficiencies were identified. You can find other high-yielding and disease-resistant varieties here.
Having analyzed all the reviews available to us left by those farmers who planted the Dacha tomato on their plot, we came to the conclusion that it has many advantages. Below you will find information about each of them, as well as photos of tomatoes.
Compactness of the bush. The height of the plant usually does not exceed 60 cm. This means that you will not need to spend a lot of effort on gartering the plant and caring for it is much easier. Due to its small size, the Dacha tomato can often be found on the windowsills of residential premises, on balconies or terraces.
Possibility of growing in any conditions. Tomatoes of the Dachnik variety can be grown both indoors and outdoors. However, given the fact that the bushes are very small, and the yield, as noted by those who planted this variety, is not particularly high, using a greenhouse in this process is not entirely practical.

Resistance to cold weather and disease. Feedback from farmers confirms the manufacturer’s statement that the Dachnik tomato tolerates low temperatures well. It is generally considered a fairly unpretentious variety. Its resistance to fusarium and blossom end rot has been confirmed. The plant has weak immunity to other diseases.
Early fruit ripening. Many summer residents appreciate this tomato because it ripens early. The first ripe tomatoes can be picked from the bush 95-115 days after the seeds sprout. That is, depending on the time of planting the seedlings, you will be able to cut the first salad of red tomatoes already at the beginning or end of July.
Tomato Summer resident does not need pinching. Forming tomato bushes often takes a lot of time from farmers. This is especially expensive during mass planting. Therefore, the great joy for many was the news that the Dachnik tomato does not have to be planted. Although, if you have a little free time, you can break off several stepsons, leaving only 3 or 4. Experts say that this way the fruits will be larger and ripen faster.
In the photo you see a tied tomato bush Dachnik
Fruit quality. Studying the reviews of farmers, we noticed that they could not get enough of the quality of ripe tomatoes of the Dachnik variety. Although they cannot be called particularly tasty, as is often the case with early tomatoes, they store and transport well, and are also very convenient to use. From the review of one housewife it follows that tomatoes can easily lie in the refrigerator for about three weeks.
Long fruit production. Farmers noticed that the Dachnik tomato does not produce all its fruits at once. Thanks to this extended ripening of tomatoes over time, the farmer has the opportunity to use them gradually, without unnecessary fuss.

Good yield. In their reviews, farmers note that the Dachnik tomato bushes are strewn with fruits. But due to the fact that the plant is low, it is not possible to collect a very large harvest per unit area. You can take approximately 3-4 kg from one bush. The variety cannot be called high-yielding, but the volume of fruit produced is not lower than average (photo of fruit provided).
Hybrid Vasily
Posano tomatoes are an early and extremely highly productive indeterminate hybrid, characterized by pepper-shaped fruits. The variety was developed as a result of painstaking work by breeders of the Enza Zaden company. As is known, hybrids are highly resistant to the most common nightshade diseases, as well as the effects of harmful insects and fungi.
- the weight of each fruit varies from 130 to 160 g;
- intended for cultivation in open soil or greenhouse conditions;
- refers to early ripening varieties;
- bush type – indeterminate;
- fruit shape – pepper-shaped;
- color – dark red;
- excellent taste, the fruits have excellent lightness and moderate density.
Vasily tomatoes are an amazing hybrid. Refers to low-growing, early-ripening, but abundantly productive varieties. As a rule, by mid-June the growth of each bush reaches 0.6 m, abundantly showered with smooth, medium-sized fruits.
The fruiting period is long, the harvest is extremely stable, which gives the agronomist a feeling of stability and reliability.
There are many high-yielding tomatoes, and this gives good opportunities to choose the best variety according to your needs.

Advantages and disadvantages
Summer residents and farmers highly appreciated the variety’s ability to successfully withstand sudden cold spells, which often occur in the summer in Siberia and the Urals. Plants are not afraid of cold fog, freezing rain and freezing wind.
In addition, the Vasily variety also has the following positive properties:
- strong immunity to almost all diseases that affect plants of the nightshade family;
- accelerated period of seedling development and formation of an adult plant;
- long and stable fruiting period;
- uniform ripening of tomatoes, simplifying the harvesting process;
- excellent shelf life, making it possible to preserve tomatoes until the end of winter;
- ease of cultivation and care, unpretentious plants.
As for the shortcomings, there are practically none. Gardeners note poor tolerance of high humidity to tomatoes. To avoid complications, greenhouses should be kept ventilated on hot days.

An early, low-growing, productive, unpretentious tomato variety for open ground.
The bush is of a determinate type, 70-80 cm high. It is recommended to form it into 3-4 stems. The tomato sets fruit perfectly in any summer. The bush is simply strewn with fruits. The variety is early ripening, but bears fruit for a long time, yielding until September.
Basic qualities of fruits
The fruits are round, of medium density, red in color at ripeness, the taste is good, tomato with sourness. The weight of the fruit is usually about 100 grams, rarely up to 150 grams. These tomatoes are universally used - suitable for making juices and sauces, fresh and winter salads.
The Dachnik tomato variety is included in the State Register for the North Caucasus region for cultivation in open ground.
Features of growing tomatoes Summer resident, planting and care
We recommend sowing the seeds of this tomato variety for seedlings 55-60 days before the intended planting in the ground. Picking of seedlings is at the stage of two true leaves. Plants are planted in a permanent location when the threat of return frosts has passed.
Recommended planting pattern: 70 x 30 - 40 cm. Planting density: 6-8 plants per 1 sq.m.
It is recommended to plant tomatoes in open ground when the threat of return spring frosts has passed. If low temperatures are still expected after transplantation, place arcs over the plantings and cover the plants with agrofibre or film.
Further care for tomatoes consists of timely watering, fertilizing with complex mineral fertilizer, pinching and preventive measures to protect against diseases and pests.

How to grow tomatoes
Tarasenko-2 tomatoes have a powerful root system that grows to great depths. Therefore, when growing tomatoes, F. Tarasenko used his own methodology.
Landing
In prepared, treated and fed holes at the end of the year, plant seedlings, 2 bushes in each hole. The recess measures approximately 50x50 cm, 44 cm deep. Distance for good growth and development of tomatoes: at least 1 m between plants, 1.5 m between rows.
Care
After transplanting the plants into the soil, the following care measures are taken:
- Cover with soil and water with warm water and manganese. To prepare the solution, you need to dilute 1.5 g of manganese in 5 liters of water.
- Excess sprouts are removed from growing tomatoes (stepchildren) and tied to a support. This is done so that the bushes are ventilated and receive sunlight.
- When the first tomatoes appear, cut off or tear off the lower leaves.
- The plant needs to be watered weekly with sufficient water. Make sure the soil is loose.
- Fertilizing is done 2 weeks after transplanting into the ground. When the fruits appear, fertilize the tomatoes again, and after 3 weeks the procedure is repeated.
After planting in the ground in the first 2-3 weeks, it is recommended to loosen the soil to 10-12 cm in depth. Next, the soil is loosened by 5-8 cm so as not to damage the roots. Heavy soil is loosened deeper, to the place where the roots of the plant have not yet penetrated. Mulching improves soil temperature and moisture.
It is better to loosen the soil between the rows along with weeding and at least once every two weeks. It is better to loosen overgrown tomatoes and hill them up immediately. Hilling creates favorable conditions for warming the soil and does not allow the roots to become exposed. The first procedure is done 2-3 weeks after planting in the ground, the next - after 2 weeks. It is useful to carry out hilling together with the addition of humus.
Features of cultivation and possible difficulties
Tomatoes love fertile soil. If tomatoes grow in sandy soil, more soil moisture and the addition of humus or manure are required. Tomatoes have difficulty tolerating excess water in the ground: it interferes with air access to the roots of the plant.
It’s good if, where tomatoes grow, cucumbers, peas, carrots, cabbage, and herbs grew before. It is not recommended to plant tomatoes on the soil where potatoes grew, as they may become infected with fungi or diseases of the nightshade family. It is advisable to deeply plow the soil in the fall and fertilize it with manure at the rate of 3 kg per 1 m².
Tarasenko 2 tomatoes have the same growing difficulties as other hybrids.
The most common:
- leaf color with defects due to sudden changes in temperature after planting seedlings in the ground;
- non-infectious putrefactive lesions are caused by a lack of calcium, excess moisture, which can destroy the plant;
- sunburn;
- cracked fruits from excess water in the fruits with accelerated growth or overripeness;
- the plant does not bloom - may be caused by a sharp cold snap or lack of moisture.
Diseases and pests
Tarasenko-2 tomatoes are little susceptible to diseases. They are highly resistant to diseases such as:
- tobacco mosaic virus;
- late blight;
- altracnose;
- verticillium.
Gardeners do not even take preventive measures to combat diseases. Tarasenko himself recommended treating plants for preventive purposes on cold summer days and during long rains. It is better to treat with a 1% Bordeaux solution prepared at home (copper sulfate and slaked lime).
Common pests among tomatoes: Colorado potato beetle, mole cricket, whitefly, bugs, nematode. It is more effective to combat them with the help of fungicides.
Tomato Summer resident: reviews, photos, yield
Among garden crops, there are several species that can be found in any summer cottage or garden plot. These are potatoes, tomatoes and cucumbers. You can plant potatoes and forget about them, but then the harvest will be meager and unlikely to be worth all the effort spent on planting. Cucumbers are the most capricious crop, since they are the most heat-loving, moisture-loving and demanding of fertilizing. To obtain even a minimal harvest, they need constant attention from the gardener. But among tomatoes, oddly enough, there are varieties that, after properly planting seedlings in the ground, will require virtually no attention at all until the harvest period.
Of course, such varieties do not have outstanding yield or taste characteristics. As a rule, all their characteristics are at an average level, so they are unlikely to be of interest to professionals or collectors. But for ordinary summer residents, these varieties of tomatoes are a real find. After all, with minimal attention, they can provide seven tomatoes throughout the entire summer season. One of these varieties of tomatoes is called Dachanik. This tomato is unlikely to surprise you with the size of its fruits, or the unusual coloring and shape of tomatoes, but in almost any region of Russia and in any weather conditions you will most likely have tomatoes, even if you are growing them for the first time and have absolutely nothing about them do not know. This article is devoted to the description of the Dachnik tomato variety and its characteristics.
Origin and description of the variety
The Summer Resident tomato was obtained by breeding scientists from the All-Russian Research Institute of Vegetable Growing under the leadership of N.S. Gorshkova. The Dachnik variety was registered in the State Register of Russia a long time ago, in 1999. The originator was agro, although the seeds of this tomato variety are offered by many manufacturers.
In addition, sometimes on sale there are also seeds of tomato varieties with names that also include the word “summer resident” - Ural summer resident, Summer resident of Kuban and others. Of course, all this cannot but introduce confusion into the difficult task of determining the tomato varieties suitable for growing.
Although the Dachnik variety is officially zoned for cultivation only in the North Caucasus region, it is successfully grown in open ground by gardeners in the Central regions, as well as the Urals and Siberia.
The Summer Resident tomato is determinate, so it does not require obligatory pinching, and can reach a height of 60-80 cm. Whether or not to tie these tomatoes is up to you. But due to the weight of the fruit, the stems may not be able to stand it and break or even fall completely to the ground.
Both the seedlings of these tomatoes and the bushes themselves look very strong and stocky, while maintaining compactness.
Although the variety of these tomatoes was created exclusively for growing in open ground, it is unlikely that any ordinary gardener would come up with the idea of taking up space in a greenhouse for a tomato, which ripens perfectly in an ordinary garden bed even under not very favorable weather conditions.
The Summer Resident tomato is characterized by a simple inflorescence; up to 10 tomatoes are tied in a brush.
The summer resident tomato belongs to the group of early-ripening tomatoes. Some summer residents even speak of it as an ultra-early tomato, since the first ripe fruits can sometimes be collected on the 85-90th day from the appearance of mass shoots. But usually tomatoes of this variety ripen 95 days after the start of the growing season.
The Dachnik variety is distinguished by quite good yield, especially considering the fact that for early tomatoes this characteristic is not particularly significant. On average, one bush produces about 3 kg of fruit, and with careful care you can get up to 4 kg of tomatoes. Accordingly, in terms of industrial cultivation, the yield of Dachnik tomatoes can range from 300 to 360 c/ha.
A positive aspect in growing tomatoes of this variety is their resistance to low temperatures and to some diseases, such as fusarium and blossom end rot. Tomatoes of the Dachnik variety can be susceptible to late blight, but most often, due to their early ripening, they manage to yield the entire harvest before the time when an outbreak of this disease usually occurs.
Characteristics of tomatoes
The fruits of the Dachnik variety have the following characteristics:
- The shape of tomatoes is standard flat-round without ribbing.
- During the period of technical ripening, the color of the fruits can be light green, and when ripe they acquire a bright red hue.
- The tomato pulp is pink-red, juicy, the skin is thin but quite dense. The number of cameras exceeds four. There is a characteristic tomato aroma. The dry matter content is 5.6%.
- Summer resident tomatoes are small in size, the average weight of one is 70-86 grams.
- The taste characteristics of the fruit are good, they have a slight sourness. Sugars make up about 3.3% of the total weight of tomatoes. And ascorbic acid is contained in an amount of 17 mg per 100 g of pulp.
- Tomatoes are universal in purpose, since they are good both fresh and in the form of any preparations.
- Tomatoes are distinguished by good preservation and suitability for long-term transportation.
- Since tomatoes ripen rather unevenly, the fruiting period is very extended, which is very convenient for summer residents who have the opportunity to collect tomatoes over a long period in small portions.
Advantages and disadvantages of the variety
The popularity of the Dachnik variety is explained by the many advantages inherent in this tomato:
- Early ripening;
- Resistance to diseases and growing conditions;
- Relatively simple agricultural technology;
- Stable yield;
- Good taste;
- Versatility of use and good preservation of fruits.
Among the minuses, one can note only the not-so-delicious taste of the fruit and not the most unique external properties of the fruit. However, these shortcomings often do not matter at all for the average gardener.
Reviews
Summer residents and gardeners speak with respect of this variety, because its unpretentiousness may indeed soon become legendary.
II. Indeterminate varieties (unlimited growth)
These are tomatoes that will grow until they turn blue until the owner or the onset of the cold season stops them. They have great yield potential, which is more successfully realized in high greenhouses. We place approximately three bushes on 1 square. With supports such as strong trellises, open ground is not prohibited, which will be especially welcome in the southern regions.
Tomato Scarlet candles
Good for pickling, sweet. This is a patented mid-early variety (Siberian breeders distinguished themselves!). In the state register since 2007. They are characterized by a high ability to form ovaries in any conditions. From 1 sq.m you can actually get a bucket and a half. The clusters are arranged in tiers, the weight of the fruit on the lower branches reaches 120 g, on the top ones - half as much.
Very lightweight. A mid-early Siberian variety for canning whole vegetables. The fruits are elongated, reaching (maximum in our conditions) 13-14 cm in length, weighing about 120 g, and have a beautiful crimson hue. They have few seeds, are very fleshy, strong, and easy to keep. If they are picked green, they do not spoil and ripen perfectly.
The longest
A new product of Siberian selection. It begins to ripen already on the 110th (you can add a couple more) days from the sprouts appearing on the surface of the soil. Fruits have a unique length - 20 cm (specific size)! They are very elongated, with a small pear-shaped constriction in the upper part, uniformly slightly expanding downwards, with a spout. Vegetable clusters bear up to seven red fruits weighing up to 180-190 g. The product is successful in transportation, long-term storage, and pickling. Collection - at least a bucket from three plants.
High yield
The variety is productive and unpretentious. Tolerates slight shading. It ties well. Neither high nor low temperatures are scary. It succeeds in protected soil, but outdoor cultivation is not prohibited. Tomatoes begin to ripen in 106-113 days; at the same time, the plant successfully continues to grow and form clusters - up to 10 pieces per bush.
Each bears up to eight graceful fruits - cylindrical and pointed, in full ripeness - iridescent pink in color. The weight of each vegetable is 100-120 g. They contain a high percentage of sugars and dry matter. They do not burst when pickled, are good for drying, obtaining thick juice and, oddly enough in your opinion, for making tomato jam. With diligent care, the bush can bear up to a bucket of quality fruit.
Tomato Niagara
Weighty brushes
This mid-early vegetable variety has been on the state register since 2010. The bush is tall, but compact in width. It has a highly branched root system, responsive to increased nutrition and good water supply. A valuable feature of this Siberian variety is its multiple clusters, each of which bears up to 14 fruits weighing 85-115 g.
Meaty and sweet
This is one of the sweetest and meatiest products of Siberian breeders. It has been registered in the state register since 2007. The tomato is mid-season (116-118 days from the appearance of sprouts), with large foliage. The fruits resemble long, sharp peppers - they grow up to 15 cm. They are an elegant red color, the weight ranges from 120-185 g. The pulp of vegetables contains very little water and seeds. In the best case, there are up to a dozen fruits in one cluster. One bush gives 2-3 kg.
Tomato Koenigsberg
Excellent ovary
Included in the state register in 2005. The variety rightfully takes its place among the most productive Siberian varieties (up to 20 kg per square meter of land in a greenhouse). It sets perfectly even in the hot atmosphere of closed ground. Plants with a powerful bush with large leaves require increased nutrition and careful pinching.
The first ovary is formed after the growth of the 12th leaf, then inflorescences are formed every 3 leaves. Refers to varieties of medium ripening; in Siberian conditions, approximately half of the crop ripens; the rest of the fruits turn red quite well when ripened. Tomatoes in the lower clusters of vegetables weigh 300 g, and in those above - no less than 150 g. The shape is elongated, heart-shaped, smooth, and beautiful.
Vitamin and sweet
Ripe tomatoes have a golden-orange color and contain a record amount of carotene vitamins. The pulp is sweet and aromatic, like berries and fruits. The ripening period is average. The lower fruits are capable of filling up to a mass of 400-450 g, higher up the bush - 200-300 g. They are oval, often with a spout. The plants grow clusters through the leaves, each containing on average, as stated, up to 5 fruits. Productivity is high. The keeping quality is excellent. It is especially tasty when salted with gelatin.
Harvest hearts
Close internodes and a powerful trunk with dense foliage are like standard varieties, only the height is two meters. The Siberian breeding novelty produces half a bucket of fruit from one such “tree”. Ripening begins on the 115th day. Forms up to 6 beautiful clusters with 5-7 red tomatoes weighing 200-250 grams, shaped like strawberries.
Tomato Budenovka
Resistant to cracking
The variety is an improved version of Ox Heart, with a higher yield (about 9.4 kg per square), early ripening, good resistance to diseases (even to late blight) and cracking of the apical tissue of the fruit for a fleshy variety. Heart-shaped, ribbed tomatoes with excellent taste.
Record weight
The variety is a new product from a team of breeding scientists under the leadership of V.F. Gavrisha. Registered in the state register in 2015. Due to the unrealistically large fruits of vegetables, it is included in the “Russian Hero” series. The variety is not very fast in terms of ripening time (from 120 days), therefore it requires early planting of seedlings, especially careful pinching and decent feeding.
In Siberia and Central Russia it works well only in closed ground conditions, including a greenhouse. The average return from a bush is 3.6 (plus or minus) kg, the record is 7 kg. The tomatoes are flat-round, slightly ribbed, have an excellent smell and are very juicy, each weighing 400-600 g, not uncommon - 800 g. There are 2-3 tomatoes in one cluster of plants; if you leave only one tomato in it, it can pull more than 1 kg. Such “bogatyrs” are better suited for salads and distillation for juice.
Bowl of salad from one fruit
One of the best salad novelties, the yield is high. The plant bears 5-6 racemes. The fruits look very attractive due to their raspberry-pink color, large up to 500-800 g. The tomatoes are flat-round, ribbed, sweet. There is high resistance to cracking; The pulp density is average. A rare quality for large-fruited varieties: the fruits do not tend to quickly soften and spoil during storage.
According to the ripening period, the variety is classified as mid-early and mid-ripe. Perfect for preparing preparations: tomato paste, juice. This tomato variety is characterized by high yield. You can remove up to 5-6 kilograms of tomatoes from one bush.
Giant orange sweet
It has plasticity, rare for a large-fruited variety, and relative unpretentiousness. Delicate sweet pulp combines with excellent keeping quality. The tomatoes are round-flat (their “ribs” stand out a little), sunny orange in color. The average weight of a tomato is 0.5 kg, but in reality there are 1 kg of fruit on the bush.
