New Year's tomato: characteristics and description of the variety, reviews of summer residents with photos

Tomato season is short: ripe fruits are used for their intended purpose, green ones are ripened in the dark for several weeks. New Year's tomato provides an opportunity at the festive table to eat fresh berries from their beds.

What is so special about this variety

The gardener grows tomatoes, processes them, dreams of keeping them fresh longer. So I want to cut a salad from a normal tomato! Regular varieties lie until early November.

Breeders of the Gavrish firm pleased hardworking summer residents. Variety New Year created for winter consumption.

Tomato description:

• indeterminate variety;
• bush grows up to 150 cm;
• fruits in open field and unheated greenhouses;
• late ripening (140 days from loops to harvest);
• prone to leaf overgrowth;
• plates dark green;
• the first brush is formed after the 9th sheet;
• competent agricultural technology will provide a yield of 3.5 kg/m².

Ogorodnikov is attracted by the resistance of the variety to TMV, Fusarium, Cladosporiosis. To protect against phytophthora, one should observe the weather, use preventive spraying with copper-containing preparations (according to instructions) or serum (1 liter per 10 liters of water, ten drops of iodine).

Breeders have worked on the properties of the tomato. Tomatoes are removed unripe. They dozariruyutsya in a dark warm place. It is required to cover the box with a cloth: this will prevent drying.

Some gardeners s alt small fruits, pickle them whole. Tomatoes do not crack, decorate canned food.

What grows on bushes

Tomatoes are very decorative. At the stage of technical maturity, bright berries look like Christmas balls. The bushes are strewn with them.

Fruit characteristics:

• weight up to 150 g;
• shape spherical, flattened;
• ribbed berry at the top;
• ripe tomato yellow-orange;
• 4-5 small seed chambers;
• dense pulp;
• hard skin.

Tomatoes taken from the bush lose to tomatoes of another variety. New Year's value - storage for 3-5 months without loss of marketability and taste.

Advice from agronomists

To enjoy the harvest of tomatoes at the end of the year, you should follow the rules of cultivation:

• plant seedlings March 10-15;
• picking in the phase of one true leaf;
• fertilizing with mineral fertilizer for seedlings;
• highlighting with agrolamp;
• hardening, airing;
• moderate watering;
• fill the soil with complete mineral fertilizer (nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus);
• placement in beds at 50 days old (6 true leaves);
• adding calcium nitrate during planting will strengthen the plants (1 tablespoon per hole, sprinkle with soil);
• fit pattern: 40 cm x 60 cm;
• recommended to mulch the soil (for easier maintenance);
• must be formed in 1 stem;
• stepson, lighten the ovary;

• do not overexpose ripe fruits on bushes.

The advantage of the variety is the resistance of fruits to cracking. But watering should be moderate: 5-6 liters under a bush after the soil has completely dried. Ideal for drip irrigation. It is recommended to place 4 plants per m² of area.

Opinions of gardeners

Hard-working summer residents give polarized reviews of the New Year. We liked it: keeping quality, color, transportability, the possibility of whole-fruit canning. I was pleasantly surprised by the immunity of the tomato to diseases.

Disappointed:

• mild taste of fruits taken from the bush;
• too dense pulp;
• hard skin.

Gardeners upset by late ripening. In regions with short summers, it is difficult to grow tomatoes outdoors.

Summer residents are unanimous: in winter, self-grown New Year's tomato is tastier than store-bought.
