Tomato cultivation
The principles of Pink Impression agricultural technology are subject to the generally accepted standard: planting in the ground, applying fertilizer, watering, caring for plants.
Landing
Planting in greenhouses begins in the last ten days of April, since the hybrid was created specifically for spring-summer rotation. The soil is pre-loosened. The holes are dug at a depth of 15 cm and disinfected with boiling water or a strong solution of potassium permanganate. The distance between seedlings is 50 cm.
After the formation of 1-2 flowering clusters, potassium-phosphorus fertilizer is applied, and so on every 2 weeks.
Water regularly as the soil dries. The culture does not like excess moisture, but it can withstand drought.
The garter of bushes is carried out without fail under each flower brush. The bushes form vertically or fan-shaped (like grapes).
In mid-July, the last harvest is harvested and the bushes are removed.
Diseases and pests
Timely application of fertilizers and maintaining optimal soil moisture levels are effective methods of preventing infestations. If these actions are not enough, the bushes are treated with antibacterial drugs: Fitosporin, Mikosan, Fitoflavin.

Reviews from gardeners
- Alina, 55 years old:
I constantly experiment with varieties. Every year, it is possible to grow up to 10 new varieties and hybrids. At the moment I am growing several bushes of the Pink Solution hybrid on my site. Tomatoes of this variety were usually used for canning, but this time they were used for salads. I was pleased with the early and friendly ripening of the fruits. The taste is well suited for summer salads. I recommend this variety to lovers of pink tomatoes. - Tatyana, 32 years old:
For testing, I planted several bushes of the Pink Solution hybrid. I can rate the taste as average. And, despite the fact that the variety is quite productive, I don’t plan to plant it anymore. I prefer sweet tomatoes, but these were a little sour for me.

Features of cultivation
Growing Pink Paradise tomatoes begins with sowing seedlings. This is best done in early March. The soil should be nutritious and light; the preferred option is a mixture of turf or garden soil with humus.
Important: The seeds do not need to be disinfected, but for better germination it is recommended to soak them for 10-12 hours with a growth stimulator.
The seeds are sown at a depth of 1.5 cm and covered with film. Germination occurs at a stable temperature of 25 degrees.
Read about different ways to grow tomato seedlings in our articles:
- in twists;
- in two roots;
- in peat tablets;
- without picking;
- using Chinese technology;
- in bottles;
- in peat pots;
- without land.
After germination, the seedlings are placed in bright light. Watering is moderate, preferably from a spray bottle. In the phase of formation of the first true leaves, picking is carried out into separate pots. It is recommended to feed the transplanted plants with an aqueous solution of complete complex fertilizer.
Planting under film or in a greenhouse is carried out in the second half of May, after the soil has completely warmed up.
The planting scheme for the Pink Paradise F1 tomato variety is standard, the distance between the bushes is at least 60 cm. Immediately after transplanting, the young plants are tied to a support. It is convenient to grow tall bushes on trellises or use long, strong stakes. Watering is moderate; during the season, tomatoes are fed 3-4 times with mineral fertilizers with a high content of potassium and phosphorus. Careful pinching and formation of a bush into 1 stem is recommended.
Features of growing Pink Paradise tomato
Growing a Pink Paradise tomato is not difficult; all procedures carried out in this case are quite traditional. Almost throughout the entire territory of our country we have to grow seedlings first, in the spring.
Landing
The time for sowing seeds for seedlings depends on the region and on whether it will be transplanted into a greenhouse or open ground. So, in the middle zone, for growing tomatoes in unprotected soil, the seeds are sown in a box on the 20th of March, for greenhouses - 2-3 weeks earlier. In any case, the seedlings should stay at home for about two months.
Pink Paradise hybrid seeds bought in a store are ready for sowing, so it’s better not to do anything with them; you can sow them dry. Soaking will only speed up the time of emergence by 1–2 days, which is not significant. Tomatoes love picking, so first they are sown in any small box with a soil layer thickness of 5 cm. If the soil is not bought in a store, but is prepared from soil, peat and humus (1: 1: 1), it should be disinfected by spilling it with a pink solution potassium permanganate.
Seeds are first sown in any container of suitable size.
Seeds are sown to a depth of 1.5–2 cm at distances of 3 cm from each other. It is better to cover the box with glass; After 5–8 days at room temperature, shoots will appear, which can withstand several days at 16–18 °C and good lighting. In the future, the seedlings are grown at room temperature, but at night it is advisable to reduce it by several degrees. Seedlings are planted in a large box or individual pots at the age of 10–12 days.
As soon as the first real leaves appear above the cotyledon leaves, the seedlings can be picked
The seedlings are watered moderately for two months. If you use a good soil mixture, you can do without fertilizing. A week and a half before planting in the ground, the seedlings are hardened off, periodically taking them out onto the balcony. At this time, it already has at least 7–8 true leaves, a strong stem, and sometimes even a nascent raceme.
There is no need to ensure that the seedlings are long: the stockier they are, the better.
Tomatoes can be replanted both in a greenhouse and in open ground after the threat of frost has passed and the soil has warmed up to at least 14 °C. The approximate diagram for planting a Pink Paradise tomato is 40 x 60 cm. In a greenhouse, it grows more powerful, so they try to plant seedlings along the wall every 50 cm. The planting technique is the usual: the seedlings are slightly buried (and if they are stretched out, strongly, planted obliquely), watered and mulch the soil. In open ground, it is advisable to build a temporary shelter from spunbond. Immediately drive in stakes about 1.5 m high or equip a trellis for tying up plants.
Care
Tomato care consists of watering, loosening, weed control, fertilizing, bush formation and tying up shoots. In this hybrid, each fruit cluster is usually tied up when the tomatoes grow. Water the bushes moderately, stopping when the fruits begin to ripen. The first feeding is given as soon as the seedlings resume growth in the new place, then the bushes are fed every 3-4 weeks. In the first half of summer, infusions of mullein or herbs are used, in the second half - superphosphate and wood ash (20 g and a handful per bucket of water).
This hybrid, like all indeterminates, is formed into one or two stems. The second stem is one of the most powerful stepsons; the rest are broken off, not allowing them to grow more than 5 cm. When formed into two stems, the ripening of tomatoes is somewhat delayed, but the overall yield increases.

In open ground, the bush is not allowed to grow to one and a half meters or more by pinching the top. All the same, the next fruits will not have time to ripen. In problem regions where late blight is raging, tomatoes are periodically sprayed with Bordeaux mixture for preventive purposes, stopping two weeks before the first harvest. Other diseases practically do not threaten the Pink Paradise tomato.
Characteristics and description of the Pink Impression tomato variety, its yield
Tomatoes included in Pink top F1, that is, pink hybrid varieties, are Pink Shine F1, Pink Moon F(F)1, Pink Impression F1, Pink Harvest F1, Pink Rose F1, Pink Delight F1. Due to the pink color of the fruit, juice is not squeezed out of them, but like Cherry tomatoes, they are often put in salads.
Pink Impression
Tomato Pink Impression F1 (hybrid) was developed in Japan in 2008 by agronomists working at Sakata. The variety was included in the State Register of Russia only in 2022. It is recommended to plant in greenhouses.
Description of the bushes: indeterminate, 1.5 - 2 m in height, so they need to be tied up. There are up to 9 brushes on the bush, with 5-6 tomatoes on each brush. You can remove up to 9 kg of fruit from one bush.
Characteristics of the fruit: bright pink, near the stalk there is a small green spot at the beginning of ripening, which disappears after 5 - 8 days. Round in shape, slightly flattened at the stalk. The pulp is sweet, with some sourness. Vegetable weight - 180 - 240 g. The skin is dense, but not very thick. Tomatoes of this variety are used to make lecho and paste, put them in salads, and preserve them.
Advantages
The tomato variety Pink Impression F1 has the following advantages:
- Super early variety - tomatoes can be harvested 90 - 100 days after sprouts appear.
- Easy to transport.
- The hybrid has high yield.
- Immunity to wilting viruses, spotting, stem cancer and bacteriosis.
Care
Seedlings are fertilized 10 days before transplanting into a greenhouse or greenhouse. For the first time, make a mixture by adding 1 g of urea, 8 g of superphosphate, 3 g of potassium sulfate into 2 liters of clean water. Try to water the seedlings so that the fertilizer does not get on the leaves.
The stems are very elastic, which is why they are tied vertically, and also in the form of a fan. Gardeners advise cutting off the shoots, leaving 2 - 3 stems.
Fertilize every two weeks. Complex fertilizers containing phosphorus and potassium are used. Water the seedlings so that the soil does not dry out and is not overly wet.
Other varieties of tomatoes with the word Pink in their name
Tomato Pink Moon (hybrid) is included in the State Register of Breeding Achievements of the Russian Federation in 2022. It is recommended to grow in greenhouses and under film. Refers to an early ripening hybrid. Tomatoes are put in salads. The tomatoes are flat-round, medium-ribbed, weighing 170–200 g. Their color is pink and their taste is excellent. The number of seed nests is 4 – 6. The skin is dense.

The Pink Shine tomato (hybrid) is included in the State Register of Breeding Achievements of Russia in 2022. It is recommended to plant it in a greenhouse and under film. This is a mid-late hybrid. The fruits are put in salads. The bushes are indeterminate.
In the greenhouse, 14 kg of vegetables are harvested per 1 m².
The Pink Harvest F1 tomato was included in the State Register of Breeding Achievements of Russia in 2015. Its difference from other Pink varieties is that the tomato is suitable for growing not only in a greenhouse, but also in an open area. The variety is mid-season.
The bushes are indeterminate, that is, they do not stop growing even after fruit sets. The green leaves are long. The tomatoes are flat-round, the ribs are faintly visible. The fruits are pink in color and have an excellent dessert taste. They are put in salads. Seed nests - 4 - 6. Vegetable weight - 230 g.
From plants planted under film, 6.9 kg per 1 m² is collected.
The Pink Paradise F1 tomato was bred in Japan in 2009. This is an indeterminate variety, so the bushes need to be tied up. 4 kg of fruits are removed from 1 m². Tomatoes are put into salads and canned. The first brush grows after the appearance of 5–7 pairs of leaves.

Sowing seeds and caring for seedlings
Seeds are sown from mid-February. Seedlings are planted in the greenhouse from mid-April.
Dig holes, making an indentation of half a meter from each other. Seedlings are placed and covered with soil. Water the bushes. Then, after a week, the seedlings are fed and watered. Loosen the soil.
The first time they are fed with nitrogen, and when fruit sets - with phosphorus and potassium. For better pollination, you can shake the stems a little, shaking pollen from one flower to another.
How to grow Pink Solution tomatoes?
The room in which tomatoes are planted must have good ventilation. High humidity, which is constantly present in the greenhouse, increases the risk of fungal infection. It is useful to cover the soil in the root area with straw (or any other mulch), which retains moisture, which delays the watering process. It is advisable to water the roots with water at room temperature as the soil dries out.
Since Pink Solution is grown in greenhouse conditions, seeds can be planted in early or mid-March. The planting process, as with all types of tomatoes, is carried out in a shallow container. In order for the grains to hatch quickly, it is recommended to keep them in a special solution before planting that stimulates plant growth.
Experienced gardeners know that any variety of tomatoes does not like poor soil, so they plant the seeds in soil to which peat, sand and ash have been added. And for replenishment, add a solution of complex mineral fertilizer intended for growing vegetable crops.
Pink Solution is a mid-early tomato of Dutch selection. The hybrid has high yield, good disease resistance and excellent taste.
Description of the variety
Medium early variety. Technical ripening occurs within 90-100 days after seed germination. Determinate-type bushes in open ground do not grow higher than 50 cm, although in a greenhouse they can grow up to 75 cm. Despite the short stature, the plant produces a large number of ovaries and a bountiful harvest. The foliage is moderate. The type of bush is standard, with a strong trunk. Leaf color is dark green.
Fruit
"Pink Bush" translated from English means "rose bush". This name perfectly characterizes the main feature of the exterior of this variety - its bright pink fruits. During the ripening period, they cover the plant so abundantly that when viewed from afar, it appears pink.
The shape of the fruit is regular round with slight ribbing. The average weight of tomatoes is 150-200 grams. Other features of tomatoes:
- Absence of a green spot on the stalk;
- Glossy skin;
- Dense fleshy pulp;
- Increased dry matter content – up to 7%.
Detailed description of the plant
Tomato Pink Solution F1 is a hybrid of Dutch selection, indeterminate in growth type, therefore, like all plants of this group, it has a bush height above 1.5 m. In terms of fruit ripening, the hybrid is included in the group of mid-early tomatoes; the fruits begin to ripen 70 days after the appearance of the first shoots.
The description of the variety given by the manufacturer guarantees the declared yield and other characteristics only when the tomato is grown in a greenhouse. Plants of this variety grown outdoors may not conform to this description. According to the manufacturer’s recommendation, the bushes need to be tied to a strong support, pinched, and the bushes formed into one stem.
The hybrid is resistant to a number of tomato diseases (fusarium, TMV) and adapts well to stressful conditions. The plant produces heart-shaped fruits with slight ribbing in the stalk area, uniform in shape and size.
Large fruits weigh 250 g, the average fruit weight for the entire growing season is 200 g. The fruit cluster can consist of 3 or 5 fruits. The color of the skin and pulp of the fruit is pink. The pulp is juicy, fleshy, aromatic, and corresponds to its salad purpose. The taste of the fruit is seasoned, harmonious, ideal for light vitamin salads.
Description and characteristics of the variety
The Pink Solution F1 tomato has an indeterminate type of bush; it grows up to one and a half to three meters. Medium early in maturity. Ripens in clusters of 3-5 pieces. The fruits are quite large, 200-250 g each. The color is deep pink, the shape is round, tapering downwards like a heart. The stalk of the tomato is slightly ribbed. The taste is excellent, the purpose is mainly for fresh consumption, but you can add the fruits to various dishes, preserve them, salt them and make juices.
Pink tomatoes have a third more dry matter than red ones, a lot of pectin, as well as vitamin C. They also contain natural antioxidants - lycopene, carotene.
Tomato "Pink Paradise F1"
- Advantages of the variety: productivity, good taste of fruits, excellent appearance, transportability and shelf life, resistance to most diseases and nematodes.
- Disadvantages: inability to collect your own seeds, need to buy them; The plant requires painstaking care and is not suitable for growing in open ground.
Tomato Pink Paradise F1 (Pink Paradise F1) is a fairly new (2009) hybrid of the Japanese company Sakata. Like most hybrids, it is intended for growing in a greenhouse (polycarbonate or film - it doesn’t matter), or at least in a greenhouse. When grown in open ground, it may not show the qualities inherent in the hybrid, because it requires careful care. Seeds cannot be collected from a hybrid, because plants grown from them will not repeat the parental characteristics. Pink Paradise F1 plants are indeterminate, i.e. with unlimited growth, up to 2 meters high, the stem is powerful, well leafy. The tomato needs a garter. They grow in one stem, sometimes in two. When grown in two stems, fruiting occurs 1-2 weeks later, but the yield may be higher. High-yielding hybrid – 3.9 kg/sq.m. The first cluster is tied after 6-7 pairs of leaves. But according to reviews from open ground lovers, the yield is average. The fruits are even pink in color, flat-round, medium density, fleshy, easily transportable, although they have a delicate skin, have good shelf life, and do not crack. Weight 180-200 g (according to other sources - 125-140 g), the fruits are equal in size. The tomato does not have a green spot near the stalk. The taste of the fruit is excellent, sweet. The tomato is intended for salad purposes, but can be used for preservation. The fruits ripen well even after low temperatures above zero.
Tomato has an average ripening period (100-120 days). Seeds should be sown in mid-February (can also be done in March), and planted in a greenhouse in mid-April. Conventional agricultural technology: plant seedlings according to a 40 by 50 cm pattern, start watering and feeding no earlier than a week after planting. The first fertilizer is nitrogen; during fruit setting and ripening, replace it with phosphorus-potassium fertilizer. For better fruiting, you can use succinic acid or other stimulants. The tomato sets fruit well, but for better pollination in the greenhouse it is worth moving the stems or tapping them during flowering.
The variety is resistant to the following diseases: cladosporiosis, fusarium and verticillium wilt, brown and gray leaf spot, tobacco mosaic virus and root nematode. Processing in a greenhouse is most often not required. In open ground, it is necessary to treat with a systemic fungicide against late blight in July during rainy weather. After that, at least one more time in two weeks. If the weather is rainy all summer, treatments should be repeated every two weeks and stopped two weeks before the first harvest.

Tips for growing a rose-fruited hybrid
In order for the pink-fruited normal hybrid to develop, it is necessary to fertilize and moisten the soil. Let's look at the rules that will help you raise a decent harvest and at the same time avoid unpleasant situations related to the characteristics of the variety:
- It is not beneficial to plant too densely; the distance between plants should be at least half a meter.
- In order for the taste of the fruit to be at a high level, it is necessary to fertilize and water.
- At the moment when the ovaries begin to form in any month, it is necessary to take care of feeding the plants.
- If the soil is dry for some reason, you should not flood the tomato plantings: soil dampness must be restored gradually so that the fruits remain intact and do not crack.
- To develop a hybrid, it needs light, so good lighting needs to be provided in the greenhouse.
- Plants need regular staking.
- To maintain the bushes in normal shape, it is essential to prun them.
- Be sure to loosen the row spacing after watering.
Prevention of diseases and their treatment
If you organize proper care for Pink Solution plants, you can expect a good harvest. Join the gardeners growing this selection and enjoy the sweetness of Dutch tomatoes.
There are not many reviews on the Internet about the Pink Solution variety. The taste qualities of tomatoes are mainly described, therefore it is not easy to draw a conclusion about the general characteristics. The opinions of summer residents are endlessly ambiguous. Some speak positively about the taste, while others talk about the excessive acidity of the fruit. Apparently, in order to determine the quality of a variety, you will have to raise it yourself and after that evaluate the tomatoes.

How to grow tomato seedlings yourself
Pink Bush F1 tomatoes are propagated using the seedling method. The process requires a special approach. In open areas, the variety is grown exclusively in the southern and southeastern regions. In the northern regions, the variety bears fruit well only in greenhouses.
Important! Tomatoes grow best in areas where legumes or winter grains grew before them.
Optimal timing for sowing
Sowing is carried out 50 days before the intended planting in a permanent place:
- in early February - for greenhouses;
- in mid-March - for open ground.
The soil
To obtain a rich harvest, fertile soil is required, with neutral acidity up to 5–6 pH. It is prepared in the fall, immediately after harvesting. In an open area, deep digging is carried out - 20–25 cm.
To disinfect and enrich the soil with nutrients for every 1 sq. m contribute:
- 10 kg of humus or liquid mullein;
- 20–30 g of ammonium nitrate.
In greenhouses, instead of digging, remove 10–20 cm of soil and replace it with the following composition:
- 1 part peat;
- 1 part coarse sand;
- 2 parts of turf-leaf soil.
For seedlings, you can take a ready-made universal mixture for vegetable crops or mix it yourself using the following ingredients in a 1:1:1:1 ratio:
- leaf soil;
- peat;
- humus;
- river sand.
Important! Leaf soil can be collected in the forest belt. Do not take soil from under oak, willow and chestnut. It contains a large amount of tannins, which will negatively affect the development of seedlings
It contains a large amount of tannins, which will negatively affect the development of seedlings
It contains a large amount of tannins, which will negatively affect the development of seedlings.
Growing container
To germinate seeds you can use:
- wooden boxes;
- plastic cups;
- peat pots;
- peat and coconut tablets.
Seed preparation
The seeds of the Pink Bush F1 variety do not need additional disinfection - the manufacturer has already taken care of this. If desired, you can place the seed material for 30 minutes before planting in the root solution.
Sowing seeds
Before sowing, moisten the soil with a spray bottle. In common boxes, grooves are made 5 mm deep at a distance of 5 cm from each other. The seeds are placed in the recesses, observing a step of 4–5 cm.
Place 2-3 seeds in separate containers. When sprouts appear, the weaker ones are removed. When planting in peat or coconut tablets, they are pre-soaked in warm water. When the tablet swells, the seeds are placed in the recess, which is located in the central part, and sprinkled with peat (coconut fibers) on top. Then the tablets are placed in cassettes or electric propagators, which are containers with a transparent lid and automatic heating.
Did you know? Canned tomatoes contain 3 times more lycopene than fresh ones. This substance helps maintain the elasticity of skin cells, slows down the aging process and is an excellent defense for the body against free radicals that cause the growth of cancer cells.
Regardless of what type of container was chosen, it is covered with a lid or film to create a greenhouse effect. The cover is removed daily to ventilate the soil.
Seedling care
Until the first shoots appear, seedlings are kept in semi-dark rooms at a temperature of +25 °C. Soil moisture is maintained by spraying within 80%.
When the sprouts appear, the cover is removed and the seedlings are moved to a well-lit room. The temperature is reduced to +20 °C. Daylight for seedlings should last at least 10 hours. To do this, you can use LED backlighting. Picking is done when 2 full leaves appear. When grown in peat containers, the picking procedure is not carried out.
When 2–3 leaves appear, the plants begin to be fed with universal fertilizers for tomatoes. The second feeding is carried out 2 weeks after the first. Watering is carried out on demand. Soil moisture is maintained between 60–80%.
Hardening of seedlings
20–30 days before transplanting into the ground, seedlings begin to harden. The period falls in early or mid-April, depending on planting dates. The procedure allows you to increase the resistance of plants to the influence of negative external factors and speed up adaptation to a new place.
Recommendations for sowing seeds for seedlings
The standard time for sowing seeds for seedlings is early to mid-March; it can be shifted in one direction or another. The specific period depends on the time of transplanting the plants into the greenhouse. Tomato seeds, before sowing in the ground, should be soaked in a stimulant solution.
Prepare the soil from equal parts of humus and garden soil; if the soil in the garden is clayey (heavy), add a small amount of sand. The seeds are sown in boxes, covered with a layer of earth up to 2 cm thick, the boxes are covered with film, which is removed only after the sprouts have pecked.
Pick seedlings (2-leaf phase) into separate containers with a volume of 350-500 ml. Before transplanting into the greenhouse, feed the seedlings with any complex fertilizer for tomatoes. Regularly monitor soil moisture and water with settled water if necessary.
The preferred method of sowing is seedlings. It is recommended to begin preparatory work 2 months before the expected planting date. To get good seedlings you need:
- plant tomato seeds at a depth of 1.5-2 cm;
- cover containers with seeds with film until shoots emerge;
- maintain the room temperature at least 21 degrees;
- carry out regular watering with water at room temperature;
- provide seedlings with a constant source of light.
IMPORTANT! It is necessary to pick the plant when the first two true leaves appear.
A week before planting, the plant should be hardened off, taking containers with seedlings out into the fresh air every day. When transplanting by 1 sq. It is not recommended to place more than 6 plants per meter of land. Rules for caring for tomatoes:
- timely watering with warm water in the morning or evening;
- regular weeding;
- loosening;
- Feed the plant at least 4 times during the summer season.
The bushes of this variety are low-growing and do not require tying or additional support.
Features of agricultural technology
The manufacturer intended to grow tomatoes exclusively in greenhouse conditions. However, many gardeners in the southern regions successfully plant bushes in gardens with outdoor beds. Keeping plants in greenhouses produces greater yields.
The main conditions of care should be noted:
- Planting in 1-2 stems, frequent pinching.
- Ready-made store-bought concentrates or folk recipes are suitable for feeding. The latter include diluted yeast, chicken manure and iodine with hydrogen peroxide.
- Greenhouses are characterized by humidity and poor air circulation. For tomatoes, a ventilation regime should be established and regular late blight prevention should be carried out.
- Although resistant to most diseases, threats remain from pests such as whiteflies, beetles and slugs.
In order not to immediately resort to insecticides, treatment with soap solutions and spraying with ammonia and water is recommended.
Advice. Insects do not like the pungent smells of parsley and mint; it is enough to place beds with tomatoes next door to forget about whitefly attacks. Basil and tobacco are also suitable.
Thanks to its disease resistance and ability to maintain its marketable appearance for a long time, the tomato is suitable for both private and industrial cultivation.
Description and characteristics of the tomato variety Amber bunch f1
Every summer resident is looking for a variety of tomatoes that would please them with early ripening, taste, and ease of care. The amber bunch tomato can boast of such versatility.
Characteristics of the variety
This is an unpretentious, cold-resistant tomato that can be grown both in film shelters and in open ground. Able to create an ovary even at low temperatures. Tomato Amber bunch is formed into a standard bush of a round shape. The height of the stem is only 40 - 50 cm. The small size inherent in the hybrid allows you to plant 2 times more plants in the same area than conventional varieties of tomatoes.
The leaves are medium-sized, dark green, traditional in shape for members of the nightshade family. The tomato does not require pinching of the apical bud, since it is a determinate hybrid, that is, it has limited growth. No pinning required. The plant itself forms only 1 – 2 stems. Inflorescences begin to form after 5–6 leaves. Strong stalks prevent the fruits from falling off.
This is an early ripening variety, the period from the first shoots to harvest reaches from 85 to 105 days. It all depends on weather conditions if tomatoes are grown in open ground, and on temperature conditions if they are planted in a greenhouse.
Description of fruits
A rounded and slightly plum-shaped shape, a flat and smooth surface, a weight of 50 to 70 grams and a yield of 2.5 kg per bush are decent characteristics for an early ripening variety. Ripe tomatoes are uniform in size, have a rich amber-yellow color and a dense consistency. They are great for both fresh consumption and for canning whole fruits. Miniature tomatoes will decorate a vegetable salad, any meat and even fish dish, and when prepared they look presentable and do not crack. Tomatoes of this variety have a pleasant taste and sweet aroma.
Due to its unpretentiousness, it will not be difficult for an experienced summer resident to grow the Amber Bunch F1 tomato, and the description of the rules for caring for it is quite standard.
Landing
Sowing of seeds should be carried out in March, or 50 days before planting in a permanent place. Seedlings should be picked after they produce their first true leaves. If there is heating in the greenhouse, seedlings can be planted in it in April. If planted in open ground under a film cover, you must wait until mid-May. A distance of 40 cm should be left between plants, and 70 cm between rows.
Hilling
The root system of the Amber Bunch tomatoes is located shallow in the ground, as a result of which it requires infrequent, but abundant watering. To ensure air access to the roots, the soil should be loosened and the plants should be hilled. This will further strengthen the root system and protect it from drying out.
At the beginning of flowering, small tubercles can be seen on the basal section of the stem. These are the beginnings of adventitious roots that will develop and additionally supply the plant with nutrients. The first hilling should be carried out during this period, and subsequently repeated 2 - 3 times.
Top dressing
In order to ensure the formation of a strong bush and increase productivity, it is good to fertilize these plants approximately once every three weeks. In the first time after planting, you need to give them the opportunity to overcome stress and get used to the new place, and after the formation of the first flower cluster, apply fertilizer for the first time. Typically this period corresponds to the third week after disembarkation.
The Amber Bunch tomato is not picky in choosing options for feeding. This could be a solution of chicken manure with superphosphate, mullein, ordinary ash, or fermented grass.
The hybrid boasts resistance to disease, but for preventive purposes, periodic spraying with special agents can be carried out. Simple hilling will prevent pests from penetrating tomato stems.
Tips for growing rose hybrids
For good development of the Dutch rose-fruited hybrid, well-fertilized, moist soil is suitable. Here are a few rules, following which, you can grow a good harvest of beautiful pink fruits:
- do not thicken the plantings, the distance between the bushes is 50 cm or more;
- To obtain a good taste of pink fruits, apply abundant watering and fertilizing evenly;
- Feeding is especially important after planting tomatoes in a permanent place, at the beginning of flowering, at the initial stage of ovary formation;
- do not overwater your tomato plantings if the soil has been allowed to dry out or the drought has been prolonged: restore soil moisture gradually, this will help avoid cracking of the fruits;
- the hybrid needs light to develop, plant it in non-shaded areas;
- bushes need to be tied up regularly;
- keep the bushes in good shape - remove stepsons;
- loosening the rows is a mandatory procedure after each watering;
- do not abandon preventive measures that protect against late blight and blossom end rot; pink tomatoes are less resistant to fungal infection than varieties (hybrids) with red fruit;
- For better fruit ripening, you can normalize the number of brushes, leaving no more than 8 pieces.
