Tomato Fig pink: characteristics and description of the variety, yield with photo

Unusual tomato Fig pink and its analogue Fig red, as well as yellow-orange color tomato Fig yellow - at the peak of interest of fans of exotic tomatoes. The new "tomato series" from the Russian company "Gavrish" deserves close attention of amateur vegetable growers. There are no negative reviews about these varieties. The pink version is the sweetest.

Original fruits

Let's consider the features of the variety in more detail.

Unsurpassed taste

The name of the variety is quite justified. A familiar plant of the nightshade family seems to grow figs: these tomatoes resemble the fruits of a fig tree in taste.

The illusion of a fruity delicacy arises: pure sweetness and rich aroma. There is no trace of "tomato" sourness. Increased sugar content is observed even in those fruits that were plucked green and ripened outside the bush.

Recognizable shape

The variety is not yet included in the State Register, its genetic line is not uniform.

The shape of the fruit is memorable, but it can be twofold. On some bushes, tomatoes are pear-shaped, a bit reminiscent of the well-known Truffle variety (Light bulbs). By the way, figs have a similar shape. And on some bushes, rounded fruits grow, strongly flattened from below and from the top, as in the picture from a pack of seeds from Gavrish. Both the one and the other species are united by a pronounced uniform ribbing, almost an "accordion", as if cutting along most of the surface.

Atypical, hypertrophied multi-chamber fruits are visible on the cut. Sometimes (especially with a lack of bush nutrition), small voids are observed inside, as for stuffing, but this is rare. In general, the tomatoes do not look ugly - on the contrary, the tomatoes are quite even and very beautiful.

Appetizing coloring

Pink tomato fruits in our minds are strongly associated with high palatability. This is the favorite "tomato" color of many vegetable growers. Even the classic red tomato seems less attractive.

For a pink fig tomato, it is more appropriate to talk not so much about pink as about a rich light raspberry shade of peel and pulp. The top is sometimes green, disappearing in full biological ripeness.

A decent size

Another important characteristic is the fullness of the fruit. The average weight fluctuates in the range of 300 - 400 grams.With a lower bar of 200 grams, the maximum weight is four times more. Tomatoes in 400 - 600 grams are not uncommon. Each brush carries 3 - 5 pieces of such "beauties". Up to seven kilograms of "vegetable figs" are formed on one bush per season.

The main harvest is spent on colorful fresh salads. Smaller fruits are suitable for pickling. Another pink fig is good to dry.

The tomato will taste like raisins. Juice will also seem fruity (without s alt), which is very useful for baby and diet food, even with increased stomach acidity.

Ripening dates

Pink fig belongs to the category of mid-early. Differs in extremely long return of a harvest. It surpasses most other varieties in this respect. This is due to the focus on continuous growth.

Tall bushes

Plants amaze with their strength even in the circle of similar indeterminate tomatoes.Powerful stems are able to grow up to two and three meters. The limit is only the height of the greenhouse and climatic restrictions. The description of the variety as predominantly greenhouse is quite natural. Only in the southern regions can a tomato be planted in the open air, putting it on high, strong trellises. In any conditions, sprawling bushes require competent shaping.

Needs

Like any vegetable crop, this variety requires compliance with some rules of agricultural technology to get the maximum return.

Seedling period

Since the variety is by no means late in terms of ripening, too early sowing for seedlings is not recommended. The optimal time for the middle lane and regions similar in climate is the beginning of March.

The pick is made when the first pair of true leaves grows, not later.

Young seedlings are prone to elongation, so additional lighting is desirable. Moderate temperatures are required. Perhaps the use of the drug "Athlete".

Seedlings are moved to a greenhouse at the stage of laying the first flower brush. You should not be late: there is a risk of losing the first ovaries.

Principles of shaping and garters

• One square meter of the greenhouse has 3 - 4 seedlings.
• Strong, thoughtful garter eliminates unpleasant "surprises". Weak supports lead to breakage of bushes under the weight of the crop and powerful vegetative mass.
• The planted young plants need to be tied up as soon as possible - they grow very quickly.
• During the growing season, not only stems are fixed, but also large brushes.
• Fruit size and yield directly depend on timely pinching. In the Pink Fig, side shoots do not grow too actively, but their regular removal is necessary. The variety is grown in one stem (under especially favorable conditions - a maximum of two trunks).
• When the first brushes are formed, the lower leaf layer is removed.
• About a month before the expected end of the growing season, pinch the top of the bush.

Feeding

Powerful, tall, large-fruited varieties absorb a huge amount of various substances from the soil. Without the organization of enhanced nutrition, it is impossible to get the desired harvest.

In addition to preliminary dressing of the root zone, 2-3 times a month they arrange root and foliar feeding with organic and mineral fertilizers, with humates and microelements. Using organics on fleshy varieties is a must The soil should be moderately moist at all times, with a good layer of mulch.

Protection

Compared to similar varieties - non-hybrid, greenhouse, sweet-fruited, - Pink figs are much less infected with fungal diseases. There is the possibility of growing it without treating the bushes with pesticides. But in the event of an attack by dangerous insects (like the greenhouse whitefly), the struggle for the crop will become a necessity.
