A beautiful appearance of a tomato without a green circle around the legs, the color is gaining uniformly throughout the size of the fruit.
Tomato belongs to Beef Tomatoes, which have large sizes of a rounded pink shape. A fleshy juicy structure of the fruit weighing up to 350 - 400 grams, divided into 5 - 6 chambers for seeds, is noted. The bush ripened by the first ovary gives the largest tomatoes; in the remaining brushes, the tomato weighs an average of 230-350 grams.
Growing
The growing season increases due to comfortable greenhouse conditions. The bush needs a mandatory garter, growth reaches two meters. Removing additional shoots gives the plant more power to form the ovary and ripen the tomatoes. The plant is tall, especially when grown in heated greenhouses, reaches up to 180-200 cm. When planting in open ground, a garter on trellises and strengthening on racks of plant trunks allows you to save the bush during fruit ripening.
The correct agronomic approach to growing seedlings provides more opportunities to get the highest yield during the growing season of the plant.
- Processing of the seed material is carried out with a manganese solution immediately before planting. Sowing can be done in peat pots for seedlings of one seed. It is necessary to carry out sowing work in a heated room with constant irrigation of the soil surface for better germination.
- After emergence, the temperature should be reduced to 22 - 25 degrees Celsius. If the room of the greenhouse is heated, then it is possible to maintain sprouts immediately in natural light, increasing the amount of light in the morning and evening with additional lamps. Leaves acquire an emerald hue, which is especially noticeable due to hardening of the plant.
- Watering of young plants is carried out with water at room temperature until the rooting period of growth after a dive. Further watering is done cooler, increasing the resistance of plants to changing weather conditions. Before planting in open soil, air hardening of tomatoes is carried out, arranging through ventilation and access of cooler air.
- Planting of grown seedlings is carried out in a square-nesting manner, placing up to 6 plants per square meter.
Bushes growing on open ground need the same garter and strengthen the stability of the tomato trunk as in a closed film greenhouse. The inflorescence sets in after the appearance of 6 - 7 leaves, every 2 - 3 leaves. In inflorescences, up to 5-6 tomatoes are formed. When grown in open soil, the size of the tomatoes is slightly inferior to the greenhouse, but they are gaining more brightness in color. The trunk is slightly lower, but reaches an average of 170-180 cm.
From the moment of the appearance of the first seedlings and until ripening, only 95 - 105 days pass. Early harvesting is possible in the first summer month, when sowing seeds in March - April. Sprouts appear within 7-10 days, and by the time of diving plants with 3-4 leaves, about 20 days pass. Plants with 5-6 leaflets are suitable for transplanting to a permanent place of cultivation.
Fertilizing is done with organic fertilizers, mullein, previously infused with water, is well absorbed.Nitrogen and superphosphate top dressing are suitable for stem growth. Timely removal of weeds from the beds and periodic loosening of the soil surface allow the root system to receive more oxygen and nutrients, which significantly affects the growth of the ovary and timely fruiting.

Harvest
The yield of the bush in closed growing conditions reaches 20 kilograms per bush, on open ground up to 17-18, which attracts the interest of vegetable growers.
