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

Original fruits are the main advantage by which the Peach tomato is recognized. From the name it is clear that the fruits are similar to a peach in shape, color and skin. Summer residents plant this variety of tomato not for harvesting, but for decoration.

Fluffy varieties

Vegetable growers distinguish a whole group of varieties, which includes fluffy tomatoes. Their feature is fluff on fruits and leaves.

Tomatoes Peaches come in different colors:

1. P. velvet - fruits are red-burgundy, weighing up to 120 g. Bushes up to 80 cm, powerful standard, semi-spreading, are determinant in growth type.
2. P. yellow - white-yellow color in tomatoes. The fruits weigh no more than 80 g, collected in brushes of 6 - 8 pieces. Bushes are not high (80 cm), standard.
3. P. striped - tomatoes are striped, multi-colored (red-pink with yellow stripes). In ripe fruits, the stripes may turn orange. Bushes of different heights, from 50 cm to 1.2 m. The variety is classified as a semi-determinant type. The leaves are bluish and slightly hairy.
4. P. white - pale yellow tomatoes, the color of the skin and juicy pulp is tender, reminiscent of cream.
5. P. garden (GardenPeach) - yellow-white fruits.

Separately, we can say about an interesting hybrid with the fruity name Apricot. Of the known "fluffy" tomatoes, this is the largest-fruited. The fluffy fruits of the F1 hybrid can weigh up to 500 g. This characteristic of weight and size is rare for fluffy tomatoes.

All tomatoes of this species are tender, juicy, but not stored well. It makes sense to plant a small number of bushes only for fresh consumption of sweet fruits.

Description

Description of variety: round, without ribbing, fruits with a color that depends on the type of tomato, contain sugars up to 10%, which determines their extraordinary sweetness. The percentage of dry matter is minimal. Acid taste is completely absent.

The average yield for this category of tomatoes is 17 kg / m², the recommended scheme for planting in the exhaust gas and under shelter is 4 bushes per 1 m². Reviews about the taste of fruits are different. Some like the skin with a delicate pile, others absolutely do not.

Disease resistance

Immunity to diseases is an important indicator for any summer resident when choosing a variety. All Peaches are characterized by a certain resistance to a number of diseases:

• rot (white, brown, gray);
• powdery mildew;
• mosaic;
• late blight;
• root rot.

Nectarine

Unlike tomatoes Peach F1 with pubescent fruits and leaves, Nectarine is a rare variety with a fruity name and sweet taste. The glossy skin of its fruits is perfectly smooth and shiny, as if it had been smeared with olive oil.

The taste of tomatoes is absolutely sugary, not the slightest sour taste. The fruits are stored little, quickly deteriorate due to the unusually tender and juicy pulp. The growth of the tomato bush is average. The color of the thin skin is similar to the color of the fruit of the same name.

Interesting mid-early tomato hybrid native to Canada. The description from the manufacturer characterizes it as an indent that can be grown in the ground and any type of greenhouse.

Gardeners about variety

Alla, Novosibirsk:

“I want to share my impressions about growing tomatoes Peach pink. I grew several bushes in the greenhouse. Neighbors gave seedlings. The bushes are not tall, they differ from ordinary tomatoes. The leaves and stems are pubescent, and the skin of the fruit is like velvet, with a little pile.

Tomatoes are not large, they are formed by large brushes. The Persians sang late, pulled them out in October. Care was easy. I didn’t remove the stepchildren, the bushes began to collapse from the weight of the fruits, so I tied them up.

I watered, like other tomatoes, 1-2 times a week. I threw straw under the bushes. There were no illnesses. Harvest is enough. She released the seeds, distributed them to her neighbors and left them for herself for the next season. I won’t plant a lot, but I will definitely plant 4 bushes in my greenhouse.”

Marina, Moscow Region:

"Peach Pink has been blacklisted. I won't be planting these tomatoes again. The largest tomato measured 23 cm. The yield was not impressive. The bushes were huge, taller than 2 meters. Brushes formed 9 pieces, each with 15 pieces of tomatoes. Deep pink fruit.”

How to care for fluffy tomatoes

Let's figure out how to properly plant powerful F1 hybrids so that they have enough of everything: nutrients, light, moisture. Rows should be placed no closer than 50 cm. Dig holes from each other at 40 cm intervals.

Into each 4040 cm hole, pour ½ bucket of aged humus (2-year-old) or mature compost. Fill with fertilizer at the same time:

• potassium;
• urea;
• ash;
• superphosphate.

Calculate the quantity based on the recommendations always indicated on the pack. Prepare the wells at least a week before transplanting seedlings of Red Peach tomato. Pour a liter of water under each bush.

Mulch is needed to keep the soil loose and moist. If there is a garden with fruit trees, prepare fallen leaves for tomato ridges in the fall. Straw and dry grass will do. It is enough to cover the soil with a layer of 5 cm.

Pros of mulch:

• retains water;
• mulch, rotting, nourishes tomatoes;
• earthworms and other microorganisms that benefit plants are bred in the soil.

Hub Care

During active growth, tie the bushes to a support. Indents will have to be tied up all summer, as their growth does not stop during the entire growing season.

Stepchildren are partially removed even in low-growing varieties. Leaves that begin to turn yellow must be removed: it is especially important to do this in greenhouses. Partial removal of leaves can be attributed to a preventive measure against late blight.

Fertilize

Prepare an infusion of mullein or dry chicken manure. A liter of this tincture is enough for a bucket of water. You can feed fluffy bushes under the root 2 weeks after transplanting to the ridge.

The second and third top dressing should be carried out after 2 weeks. In the infusion at the third feeding, add nitroammophoska, superphosphate. Fertilize only after watering: this way you can avoid burning the roots.

Irrigation

If the ridges are covered with mulch - water once a week or less, and in its absence and hot, dry weather - 2 waterings per week. Watering should not be superficial. Soak the soil well, but do not overfill.
