Tomato Polonaise: characteristics and description of an ultra-early variety with a photo

Tomato Polonaise f1 is an early ripe determinant, which is intended for cultivation in the southern regions of our country. Before continuing to talk about this hybrid, give its full description, it should be clarified what is the difference between the determinant types of tomatoes intended for cultivation in the southern and northern regions.

What is the difference between southern and northern determinant varieties?

The main feature of southern hybrids is a large amount of strong foliage, which protects the ovaries and ripening tomatoes from the scorching rays of the sun.Such varieties are distinguished by a longer crop ripening period, since the warm season in the south lasts at least 4.5-5 months. Under such conditions, you can harvest a fully ripened crop of these vegetables of any ripening period.

The difference between the northern determinant species is early ripening, as the warm season in the middle lane and colder areas is short.

Therefore, such tomatoes quickly increase the vegetative mass, form ovaries, and also differ in early ripening and friendly, almost simultaneous return of the crop.

But, despite the rapid growth, such hybrids cannot be planted in the southern regions. Under the hot southern sun, such plants grow old too early, not having time to accumulate useful substances for the growth and ripening of fruits. There are few leaves on such bushes, because under the northern sun the fruits must receive a large amount of heat.

And in the south, ripening tomatoes often get burned from direct sunlight, so their shape becomes ugly, and the fruits themselves grow small and often dry.
