Appearance

The bush has small dimensions. The height of the bush is only from fifty to sixty centimeters. Such dimensions make it possible to grow "Titan" in a small greenhouse or even on a balcony in a city apartment.

Shape of tomatoes "Titan" rounded. Their color is dark pink. Many gardeners note the beauty of this variety. The flesh is firm and fleshy with very little seed content. The skin is glossy and smooth. It should also be noted that the fruits are not prone to cracking and other deformations.

How to grow

As mentioned above, the Titan tomato variety does not require much attention. This variety can be grown both outdoors and in greenhouse conditions. But it is recommended to use greenhouses for cultivation, since "Titan" is very unstable to temperature extremes. With a strong cold snap that occurs in the evening and at night, plantings may die.

Despite its small size and fairly strong branches and stems, the bush must be tied to pegs. This is due to the fact that the variety has a very high yield. Branches may simply not support the weight of huge clusters of fresh fruits. The bush is formed in two or three stems (three are recommended for higher yields).

Important! On one square meter of land, eight to nine bushes can be easily placed. More than that can harm the entire seedling.

Tomatoes should be sown 2-2.5 months before transplanting sprouts into the ground. Despite its unpretentiousness, in the initial stages some care is required (watering, feeding). In the future, when the bush has already grown and begins to bloom, it will be possible to worry much less about its condition. The harvest takes place in about a hundred days. At the stage when the fruits are already beginning to ripen, the bush must be fed with fertilizers. For the best effect, they should contain potassium as well as phosphorus.

Variety "Titan", is one of the most resistant to all kinds of diseases. But in some cases, late blight diseases are recorded. To avoid illness, you need:

1. Significantly reduce the amount of watering.
2. Ventilate the greenhouse more often.
3. Use high potassium fertilizers.

In the event that you were unlucky very much and the bush was still infected with late blight, then you need to use special tools that protect plants from this disease that is harmful to them. An example of such a drug would be Fitosporin.

In addition to late blight, bushes are periodically reported to be infected with codling moths, sawflies, and whites. To cure these diseases, the use of a drug such as Lepidocide is recommended. Among the tomatoes planted at home, there were no additional problems.
