Japanese varieties of tomatoes are distinguished by good taste and resistance to adverse weather conditions and infections. Some of them are taken into account in the State Register of Breeding Achievements of the Russian Federation.
Most varieties are available only in the collections of amateur breeders. Japanese tomatoes are grown in garden plots, fields, and balconies. Japanese specialists have bred ornamental plants.
They are grown in flower pots to decorate a room or gazebo. What varieties of Japanese tomatoes do manufacturers offer? What characteristics do they differ in?
Japanese Brush
The Japanese Brush tomato variety belongs to the cherry group. It is grown by gardeners and home gardeners on the balcony. The plant is tall and indeterminate. It must be decorated, otherwise it will turn into a voluminous bush with numerous intertwined stems:
- The berry is round, red. The taste of the pulp is sweet;
- weight 30-60 g;
- more than 50 tomatoes can ripen on one bunch at the same time;
- The variety is resistant to infections.
The Japanese Brush tomato is distinguished by its universal use. Most often, the berries are used to decorate dishes and for salads, but they can be canned and juiced. The seedlings are placed in a sunny area. They grow well on fertile loams.
The variety can be grown as hanging plants. A vertical growing method is suitable for it, in which the lashes are lowered down.
Diseases and pests of Japanese tomatoes
Most of the plants bred in the Land of the Rising Sun are not susceptible to frequent disease infections and do not suffer from pest attacks.
But errors in care can still “play” against the planted crop. The declared resistance of immunity without preventive spraying, ventilation of greenhouses and other care features is significantly reduced. Therefore, you should be aware of what problems may stand in the way of a gardener in growing tomatoes. Most often, tomato varieties from the East suffer from:
- Phytospora and cladosporiosis. These diseases appear due to poor climatic conditions. The main reasons are high humidity and high air temperature.
- Top and root rot. Occurs due to lack of air in the greenhouse and high humidity. In addition, root rot occurs more often due to excessive watering.
- Aphid. It appears very rarely in greenhouses. It's very easy to fight her. You should wipe off the plaque formed on the foliage with a damp sponge soaked in soapy water.
It is important to monitor the condition of the seedlings, study their condition and monitor their growth. Any signs of disease, such as the formation of plaque, yellowing of leaves and their falling, as well as the appearance of some spots, require emergency measures. After all, the quality of the harvest depends on the timeliness of treatment.
