Tomato Watercolor: variety description, cultivation, care

People who want to grow natural vegetables in their gardens will appreciate the Watercolor tomato. The variety is determinant; it is a mid-early tomato that produces a large harvest.

It was first grown by Siberian breeders. They achieved excellent results in their work. The Watercolor variety can be grown both in open ground and in greenhouse conditions. However, its productivity remains the same. You can harvest the crop from the moment of sowing within 3-3.5 months. Siberian selection does not require special care.

Features of the variety

The main external difference of the Watercolor tomato bush is its powerful and massive stem. That is why he does not always need a garter and additional support. When the harvest ripens and the fruits begin to come into contact with the ground, the bush should be supported to avoid damage to the fruit.

The leaves have the usual standard shape inherent in the culture, and the color is green. The bush grows up to 50 cm in height. With proper planting and care, the Aquarelle variety produces a consistently good and rich harvest in regions with different climates.

After 4-5 leaves appear on the branch, the first ovary appears. It is typical that 6 identical fruits ripen on each branch.

Experienced gardeners claim that from 1 m² of plot on which the crop grows, from 6 to 9 kg of crop can be harvested per season.

Characteristics of tomato Watercolor

Due to its large trunk, the bush looks like a small tree; the fruits are densely located on it. The tomato has a sweetish taste, its flesh is quite dense and fleshy. In a cross-section of a tomato, you can see that inside there are 2 chambers with a small number of seeds.

A characteristic feature of the Watercolor variety can be considered yellowish spots that are located on the fruit around the stalk. The harvest is easily removed from the bush without damaging the branches. Many farmers boldly use machines to harvest their crops.

Due to its dense structure, the tomato is excellent for long-distance transportation. The fruits are used to create tomato paste and for preservation - in jars “for the winter” the brightly colored tomatoes, identical in size, look very appetizing and beautiful. Tomatoes are also used for preparing salads and eating fresh.

Another feature of the Watercolor variety is its resistance to septoria and blossom end rot.

Tomatoes do not last very long: experienced gardeners say that after picking the fruits from the bush, they can be stored for about 1 month in a cool room.

The characteristics of the crop indicate that the Watercolor variety is beneficial for large-scale production of various tomato products, for purchases in restaurants and other public catering establishments.

Growing rules

In order to get an early harvest, you need to grow seedlings in warm greenhouses or greenhouses and then follow these recommendations:

Sowing is carried out 1-1.5 months before the first frost is expected in the area. There is a photo on the packet of seeds that shows the appearance of the fruit and bush

The first shoots appear within a week, but it is important to provide them with an air temperature of +22...+23 °C and a humidity of at least 60-65%. Seedlings love good lighting and regular watering

Tomatoes need to be watered every 10-12 days.

The water must be settled and kept to a temperature of +20 °C. You need to water carefully so as not to expose the young roots and wash away the soil.

Seedlings are planted in open ground at the rate of 3-4 plants per 1 m². Planting at the end of May

It is important to timely apply fertilizing and mineral fertilizer to the soil.

The Watercolor tomato variety is an excellent vegetable crop that will not cause trouble when growing and caring for it. This type will appeal to those who love sugary and dense tomato fruits.

Planting and care

Suitable for growing in open ground and greenhouses. It is advisable to sow seeds for seedlings 2 months before planting in the ground. The timing is individual, since each region has its own climatic characteristics.

Feeding seedlings with complex fertilizers will make the plants stronger and more resilient, and they will tolerate transplantation to a permanent location without any complications.

You need to pick the tomatoes. Planting in separate pots will help the formation of a strong stem, which will subsequently withstand any weight of the fruit.

Formation is required. Since only a bush grows without pinching, there are very few fruits. A garter to the support is also necessary.

It is best to feed during flowering and active ripening. Complex fertilizing will help. It is advisable to water in the evening with warm water. Weeding and hilling as necessary.

Gardeners and farmers speak positively about the taste of the fruit. The mid-season variety is excellent for fresh consumption and can be stored for a long time. Yellow tomatoes of the Ruslan variety are a real storehouse of nutrients and vitamins.

Agrotechnical parameters of the plant

The instructions for growing a new type of tomato provide all the nuances for choosing soils, providing light, heat and water, care during the development of the plant and until the fruit is harvested. By following the recommendations, you can avoid many mistakes that occur not only among beginners, but also experienced gardeners.

Ruslan tomatoes are an indeterminate species with unlimited growth of the central inflorescence, which determines their height, reaching the height of an adult.

The number of tomatoes per 1 bunch does not exceed 5 pcs. The time to reach maturity from the moment the sprout emerges is from 105 to 120 days. The fruit is described as follows:

• color – yellow shades;
• weight – from 300 to 400 g;
• number of cameras – up to 7 pcs.;
• transportation conditions: tomatoes tolerate long distances well.

The fruits retain their taste and shape perfectly for 1 month. The latter characteristic allowed the vegetable to take its rightful place in the mass production market. It is actively used by both small farmers and large manufacturers. They get good yields, regardless of the place of cultivation, that is, on open or protected ground.

Experts advise starting to plant seeds in the soil no later than 60 days before planting the seedlings in a permanent place. The specific date may be adjusted depending on:

• region;
• soil;
• climate features;
• location of a piece of land, if it is not a greenhouse.

Tomatoes with yellow fruits, varieties, characteristics

Yellow tomatoes are rarely grown because they can only be eaten fresh, but they are not suitable for preparations, making tomato paste or sauces. They are also not used for canning in jars; although the result is a normal, tasty pickled tomato, it is not the traditional red color.

But in the salad, the combination of red tomatoes, yellow tomatoes and green cucumbers looks very appetizing. Also, some people are allergic to red tomatoes, so they can only eat yellow ones.

There are currently quite a lot of varieties of tomatoes with yellow fruits, especially foreign selection, mainly from Holland. There are interesting varieties of bush yellow tomatoes, which, for the sake of exoticism, can be grown in boxes and in hanging pots if the garden is small. This is a variety of yellow tomatoes with small fruits and drooping tops, “Pendulina Orange” and “Ida Gold”. By the way, when hanging, tomatoes are almost not affected by viral and fungal diseases, due to the lack of contact with the soil and good ventilation.

Yellow pear-shaped tomatoes will delight exotic lovers if you plant the “Yellow Pearshaped” variety. But among the old varieties with yellow tomatoes that bear fruit in clusters and are characterized by friendly ripening, you can choose the “Golden Konigin” variety.

Yes, the varieties differ in size and taste, they are large and just like cherry tomatoes, but we will describe only the two most common, old varieties that have been in our gardens for a long time. These are yellow tomatoes “Ruslan” and “Khurma”.

Yellow tomato variety “Persimmon”, characteristics

Refers to mid-season tomato varieties. The tomato is suitable for growing in open ground and under film cover; it grows well throughout the country. The “Persimmon” tomato as a plant belongs to the determinant type, which means it is not a very tall bush and will not produce too many side shoots and stepsons. Which makes taking care of him much easier.

Although the bush can grow up to 90-100cm, so for insurance you can immediately put up pegs when planting seedlings. Usually not many yellow tomatoes are grown, so tying up their bushes won’t be too difficult. The inflorescences of the “Persimmon” tomato variety are collected 3-4 in a cluster.

A distinctive feature of the variety is the size of the tomato. The fruits are large, weighing from 100 to 300g, the color is bright yellow or orange. Tomatoes with thick skin, juicy, sweet. The yield may not be high, up to 2.5-3 kg per bush, but fruiting is long-lasting, until late autumn.

The first fruits can be harvested 105-110 days after the seeds germinate. It is better to grow seedlings. Sow in March in boxes or cups with coconut tablets. Again, I would like to remind you that there are not many tomatoes of this variety grown in the garden, so it is quite possible to grow seedlings in cups. This will allow you to obtain strong seedlings, and at the age of 60 days they will be planted in open ground. Strong seedlings planted from separate cups will not be injured by the roots and will begin to grow faster.

After all, the “Persimmon” tomato variety is not endowed with special disease resistance, so you will have to monitor ventilation and humidity. High and constant humidity stimulates the development of viral and fungal diseases of tomatoes.

Yellow tomato variety "Ruslan", description

“Ruslan” is a variety of yellow tomatoes recommended for growing in areas with a warm climate; it is endowed with special resistance to heat and therefore tolerates short-term drying out of the soil. The variety is mid-season, indeterminate type, and therefore tall. Tall varieties of tomatoes are usually recommended for growing in greenhouses and greenhouses. BUT if it is possible to provide a tall yellow tomato bush with support, then it can be successfully grown in open ground. Due to its tall growth, the yield of the “Ruslan” variety will be up to 10 kg of fruits per 1 sq. meters.

The peculiarity of growing tall tomatoes is constant care for the formation of a bush. It is necessary to constantly remove the shoots and pinch them so that the bush does not turn into a lush plant with a chaotic arrangement of shoots and a lack of fruits.

Tomato fruits are large, up to 300g, yellow in color, round in shape, excellent taste, with sweet pulp and a small amount of seeds.

The “Ruslan” variety is mid-season; the first fruits can be picked 110 days after germination. But it is better to grow this variety through seedlings. Typically, tall tomatoes are sown for seedlings before February 20th. For this, they use the best nutritious soil, consisting of 1 part peat and 1 part turfy loamy soil. Moisten the soil and bury the prepared seeds 1-2cm. Sprinkle with soil and cover with film; as soon as the seedlings appear, remove the film and keep the seedlings in a warm, bright place.
