The plant belongs to the category of tall species, the height of the bushes reaches 1.6-1.8 meters. The variety can be grown in heated greenhouses and shelters in regions with a cold climate, in warmer climatic zones it is acceptable to grow in open ground conditions.

Tomato Description

Slavic tomato has a pronounced ovoid shape and has a unique crimson-pink tint. On the lower part of the vegetable there is a characteristic formation that looks like a small nose. The average weight of a tomato reaches a value of 80 to 90 grams. Under conditions of greenhouse cultivation, the weight characteristics of fruits reach 120 grams. The yield from one bush reaches 4 to 5 kg.

The advantage of the variety is the high aesthetic qualities of the fruit and the excellent taste characteristics of tomatoes. Gardeners' reviews speak of the characteristic tomato flavor of vegetables and the extraordinary juiciness of tomatoes.

The fruits have a sufficient thickness of the skin, which does not allow the tomatoes to crack at the time of ripening. When canning, it allows tomatoes to maintain an attractive appearance after heat treatment when preparing winter preparations.

Features of care and cultivation

Growing is carried out by seedlings. Sowing is recommended in the first or second decade of April. The process of planting and caring for seedlings is standard and does not differ significantly from the generally accepted agricultural practices. When landing, experts recommend being guided by the dates of the lunar calendar, which provides guidance for choosing the most favorable days for landing.

The first fruits are removed after 110-115 days from the moment of planting the seeds. After transplanting to a permanent place, it is recommended to form shoots into one stem. Due to the high growth of the bushes, the plant needs to provide an additional fulcrum in the form of a tie.

To prevent the formation of excess green mass, periodic work is needed to remove stepchildren. If they are removed incorrectly or insufficiently, the plant will experience a lack of nutrients, and their main amount will be directed to the formation of leaves, and not to the formation of fruits.

The advantage of growing a variety is considered to be good tolerance for temperature changes and prolonged rains. Tomato yield indicators under difficult climatic conditions practically do not decrease. Experienced gardeners note the good immunity of the plant to tomato diseases. The plant needs regular watering, loosening and fertilizing with mineral complexes.
