Tomato Torpedo: variety description, yield and cultivation with photo

Tomato Torpedo f1 is a new generation hybrid plant. Due to its unpretentiousness to environmental conditions, the tomato can be planted both in open ground (in the garden) and indoors (in the greenhouse). Let us consider in more detail the features and distinctive qualities of this variety.

Features of tomatoes Torpedo

Tomatoes of this variety, as a rule, reach a height of 60 centimeters, while the amount of foliage on the stems is negligible compared to other tomatoes.

Maturation of the bush occurs in the early stages of development. It usually takes about 100 days between germination and when you can already get the first harvest.

Each formed cluster produces at least five reddish cylindrical fruits weighing about 120 g.

Due to the fact that Torpedo tomatoes have a stable high yield (I grow this variety myself, and it turns out to collect about four kilograms of tomatoes from one bush), the fruits ripen quickly and there is no need to carefully monitor and care for the plant, this hybrid is in a leading position among other tomatoes. It is perfect for landing on small plots of land.

How to grow Torpedo tomatoes

Tomatoes of this type are grown by seedling method.

Important! In order to prevent subsequent infection of the plant with various dangerous diseases, before planting the seeds, it is necessary to disinfect them with a solution of potassium permanganate, then rinse them better with boiled water and soak.

1. When sowing, remember that the depth of their embedding in the soil cannot exceed 0.5 cm. If the temperature in the room where the seeds were left to germinate is 18-25 degrees, then the emergence of seedlings can be expected on the fifth day.
2. As soon as the plant develops sufficiently, that is, 2-3 leaves appear on the stem, pinching should be carried out. Further care for the sprouts will consist in timely feeding with mineral fertilizers, watering, loosening the earth and hardening the tomatoes.
3. It is better to plant seedlings in the ground in late May - early June (after the threat of frost has passed), when the first brush begins to bloom. By that time, tomatoes are usually 65 days old.
4. Before planting tomatoes in prepared holes, place a handful of humus there and water abundantly. Throughout the summer, the plant should be watered and fertilized infrequently, but abundantly.

In conclusion, we can add that the reviews of those who planted or even continue to plant and grow Torpedo tomatoes characterize this variety of tomatoes very positively. To a greater extent, this applies to its taste and aroma. They note the ease of care for tomatoes, as well as the high yield of the tomato bush Torpedo f1. So growing this variety is the right decision.
