Ural giant tomato: characteristics and description of the variety, yield with photo

Popular tomato Ural giant - a series of four varieties. They are united by the similar dimensions of the bushes, the impressive size of the fruit, and the sugary pulp. They differ in color - red, pink, lemon (yellow), orange. Successfully adapt to the weather conditions of different regions.

Salad Quartet

All four varieties are very sweet and meaty. Each has its own nuances of taste and aroma. Classic Ural giant red contains a record amount of beneficial lycopene.

Ural giant pink is especially sweet. The Ural giant orange is richly piquant, rich in carotene, like the gentle Ural giant lemon.

Ural character

The declared varieties are presented on the seed market in the packaging of the Mars agricultural company, in the Ural summer resident series. The head office of the company is registered in Moscow, but has close ties with breeding and seed organizations in the Urals, in particular the Chelyabinsk region.

The Miass-Sortsemovoshch enterprise located here is reviving the best Soviet seed-growing traditions. The Chelyabinsk branch of the Research Institute of Fruit and Vegetable Growing and other agricultural structures are joining the work.

Mars does not bother to include the varieties it distributes in the State Seed Registry. This does not prevent them from gaining more and more popularity among amateur vegetable growers from all over the country. People are attracted by the declared high adaptability of varieties to a variety of weather conditions and any microclimate. Plants are genetically based on high ecological plasticity.

For example, Ural giant tomatoes are proposed to be grown in any region of the country where farming is possible. This variety is able to successfully pour in the harsh conditions of the Urals, Altai, Siberia, North-West, Moscow region. Its endurance to cold snaps makes it possible to please the owners even in the open field, although in the greenhouse, of course, the return can be even greater. Resistance to high temperatures is also on top - both in hot indoor ground and in the open air of more southern regions.

Important details

It is worth noting some of the characteristic features of the variety.

Fruiting terms

In various sources, the description of the variety differs in details - it is called either early or mid-ripening. In fact, there is no contradiction here. Naturally, such a large-sized tomato cannot be early ripe.

For the Ural giant is characterized by medium ripening. On the other hand, usually such "heavyweights" are medium-late. And in this weight category, relative to others, we can talk about relatively early terms.

Plant dimensions

Indeterminate type of bush, which provides the plant with the highest potential yield. During the season, the bush grows almost to the height of a person, reaching a height of one and a half meters.

The trunk is very powerful, with a constant desire for continuous development, the formation of more and more new brushes. By their primordial nature, tall tomato bushes are close to vines and "lie down" under the weight of the crop , if they are not tied up in time.

Crop quality

The fruits really grow to gigantic sizes. The 700 - 800 grams promised by the manufacturers is far from the limit. One brush is able to carry 3 - 5 ovaries. Each tomato is round in shape, with a flattened top. Multi-chambered, moderately ribbed.

Vitamin Variety

It is very convenient for summer residents that the variety is offered in four color variations.Each owner can make a choice according to his taste, but it is better to plant all four! In addition to aesthetic pleasure, there are tangible benefits. You get a whole palette of flavors, a complex of vitamins and other biologically active substances.

Taste sensations

The flesh of the Ural giant is of the “watermelon” type, granular-sugar at the break, moderately juicy, melting in the mouth. The taste is amazing, really sweet.

Another valuable feature - a real "tomato" flavor. These tomatoes make the most delicious fresh salads. Just one tomato, and a bowl of salad for the whole family is provided.

Recycling

Like most fleshy salad-type tomatoes, the fruits of the Ural giant cannot boast of long-term keeping quality. Part of the harvest must be put on time for winter harvesting.

The simplest, without sterilization - "gorloder" ("horseradish"), with garlic, horseradish root, hot pepper.Particularly successful is tomato juice with a little s alt added: perfect consistency, fragrant, very he althy. You can cook thick tomato paste, lecho, make vegetable mixtures with sterilization. An exquisite delicacy - multi-colored tomato slices in a jelly marinade.

Features of care

To get a bountiful harvest, you need to work a little, trying to follow the recommendations of experienced vegetable growers.

Formation

Given such a characteristic as indeterminacy, it is necessary to strictly regulate unbridled growth. If you give the bush complete freedom, you will not see a good harvest and large fruits. For adjustment, two methods are used - pinching and topping.

Throughout the season, it is necessary to remove all side branches - stepchildren - as early as possible. If there is enough power, then one, above the first brush, can be left. Thus, the plant starts up in one or two stems, no more.No more than three bushes are placed on one square meter.

Approximately one month before the expected end of the growing season, the top of the trunk is cut off. In the open ground of the Moscow region, the Urals, Siberia, this period falls at the beginning of August. In warmer regions and in closed ground, the operation is done later. The approximate height of the bush is from one and a half to two meters.

Need to normalize the brushes as well. When ugly flowers appear (sometimes this phenomenon is observed in the first inflorescence), they are plucked out. If you want to get a record giant fruit weighing more than a kilogram, only one ovary is left in the brush.

Garter

You should take care of the serious fastening of trunks and brushes in advance. It's a shame if the bush suddenly collapses, breaking under a mass of fruits. In open ground, one and a half meter pegs are installed, and better - high flat trellises. The stems are tied up several times a season. It is advisable to fix the brushes so that they do not break.

Protection against diseases

Sweet large-fruited varieties are defenseless against the pressure of late blight and other fungal infections. It saves a set of preventive measures. Crop rotation is strictly observed in open ground, all necessary treatments are done in greenhouses.

Supporters of organic farming carry out preventive watering and spraying with biological products such as Fitosporin. If diseases raged in previous seasons, permitted chemicals will have to be applied.

Meal Mode

Before you plant a large-fruited variety of tomatoes, you need to realize your capabilities. Fleshy fruits will not grow without enough nutrients. Mandatory preplant refueling of soil, holes.

Feeding is carried out throughout the season - at least twice a month. Alternate organic and mineral fertilizers. Water regularly, moderately. The fruits of the Ural giant are resistant to cracking, but it is better not to create interruptions in the supply of moisture.

Conclusions

Compliance with all agrotechnical rules will allow you to collect a bucket of tomatoes from each bush. You can set aside fruits from the best bushes to get your seeds.
