Tomato Strawberry tree of the Siberian Garden company: characteristics and description of the variety with a photo

Many experienced gardeners prefer varietal vegetable crops to hybrids. The variety "Strawberry tree" has appeared in the Siberian collection of tomatoes, the characteristics and description of which indicate the possibility of giving the plant qualities that are characteristic of both varieties and hybrids.

First generation hybrids show:

• high disease resistance;
• aligned commercial characteristics of fruits;
• give higher yields;
• have a short growing season;
• resist well to unstable natural factors.

But often, these advantages, which are significant for greenhouses and farms, are less important for gardeners and gardeners. For private cultivation, taste indicators, the possibility of using the variety in home-made preparations, come first. In addition, the seeds of hybrids, unlike varietal crops, cannot be saved. They must be purchased from manufacturers every year, and the price is quite high.

The variety "Strawberry tree" harmoniously combines the commercial and consumer advantages of tomato crops, giving gardeners the opportunity to get a rich harvest, tasty, he althy tomatoes with minimal labor costs.

Reducing the internode from 25-30 cm in tall varieties to 12-18 cm, allows you to get more flower brushes in the plant.

Key Features

This is how seed producers describe the variety:

• medium early variety, 112-115 days growing season, recommended for growing in greenhouses;
• plant tall, indeterminate type, reaches a height of up to 2 meters;
• bush medium-branched, well leafy, requires formation in the process of growth;
• leaves are large, ordinary, smooth, dark green;
• the variety has short internodes, which allows the plant to form up to 6 brushes with 5-7 large tomatoes;
• fruits are shaped like huge red strawberries, each weighing 200-250 grams;
• pulp is dense, juicy with a taste that deserves an excellent assessment of experts;
• Strawberry tree tomatoes behave well in preparations, but due to their large size they are more suitable for salads, semi-finished tomato products;
• fruits taken in green ripen well at home without losing their taste;
• the variety shows an excellent yield of up to 5 kg from one bush.

The plant itself looks very attractive, resembling not a tomato bush, but a tree, with clusters of beautiful, berry-like fruits. But the unlimited growth of the bush will require additional measures to strengthen the stem with a garter to a support or trellis.

Important! To obtain stocky seedlings with short internodes, day and night temperatures should be maintained at 23-24 degrees, lowering it by a couple of degrees after 25 days. This will signal the plant to quickly form the first three brushes.

Recommended agricultural practices

All varieties of tomatoes with unlimited growth in central Russia are traditionally grown in spring-type greenhouses on natural solar heating in seedlings.

1. Seeds are sown for seedlings 60-65 days before transplanting to a permanent place. Dates are floating, depending on local climatic conditions and the quality of the greenhouse. Tentatively - the last decade of March.
2. To grow strong, he althy seedlings, it is necessary to monitor the temperature and light conditions, preventing the seedlings from stretching. Seedlings dive in the stage of 1-2 permanent leaves in separate containers or boxes.
3. The seedlings are transplanted into the greenhouse at the rate of 3-4 plants per sq. m. Planting density depends on how the plant will be formed.
4. Sibsad seed producers recommend leaving only one main stem. This will allow the plant to grow quickly, form fruits and allow large fruits to ripen in the stated time frame.
5. But many vegetable growers are up to the challenge of growing multi-stem tomatoes. At the same time, the timing of the ripening of the crop is postponed. The plant itself requires timely pinching of growth points, removal of stepchildren, dying foliage.
6. Like all tall tomatoes, the variety is responsive to timely watering and competent feeding. After watering, they must loosen the soil and spud the lower part of the stem, covering the adventitious roots in the upper soil layer with a layer of earth.
7. For indeterminate varieties, too nutritious soil is not suitable, they begin to grow green mass too quickly at the expense of fruit size. This also applies to watering, which should be moderate at the initial stage of the growing season. After the appearance of the first fruits with a diameter of 4-5 cm, watering is adjusted to 2-3 liters per 1 bush.

Otherwise, caring for a tall variety is not much different from caring for other tomatoes.
