Due to its unique qualities, tomatoes of this variety are able to bear fruit until December, therefore, such tomatoes are suitable for amateurs to amaze their families and friends with various delights. The Decembrist F1 plant is indeterminate, requires careful care, tomatoes must be tied up and stepsoned as the plant grows.

Fruit Description

The fruits of this variety have a bright red tint and a rounded shape. They are usually small in size and weigh on average no more than 120 grams. They can be stored for a long time: with a small cool, they do not rot for a very long time and retain their original appearance.

Due to its universal properties, the fruits of this hybrid are suitable both for fresh consumption and for canning, in addition, because of the dense skin, tomatoes do not crack in brine and retain their beautiful appearance.

Growing Basics

It is recommended that the tomato stalk is initially formed into a single stalk and the growth point is transferred to the stepson, located mainly after the third inflorescence. Therefore, all stepsons below the third inflorescence must be removed immediately. This is due to the characteristics of the variety, which consist in the fact that the growth of tomatoes ends with the formation of inflorescences, and the removal of all stepsons can lead to a sharp decrease in the number of inflorescences and a deterioration in fruiting.

It is worth noting that the work of breeders was not in vain, and the hybrid turned out to be really viable and has a high yield. In addition, the resulting plant variety is resistant to many common diseases, which clearly speaks in favor of the choice of this tomato. However, seeds must be bought annually, since it is impossible to independently procure them.

Before planting seeds, they are treated with special hormones that provoke enhanced plant growth. Just before planting, it is also necessary to prepare the soil, having previously fertilized it, since such land will provide the plant with all the necessary substances.

Planting of seeds is carried out shallowly, and after hatching the seeds and the appearance of seedlings, it is necessary to dive tomatoes. Starting two months after planting, the plant can be transplanted, but first it needs to be hardened. For hardening tomatoes, you just need to take it out into the open air for some time.

When planting a plant in open ground, we must not forget about maintaining the distance between plants. It is also worth shedding earth with manganese.

In general, the bushes are quite high, no more than four tomatoes grow on one square. You can increase tomato productivity using drip irrigation.
