Description of the bush

It reaches 1.5 m in height, is better to form in two stems: in addition to the main one, the second barrel is the stepson, which is located below the first brush, and the other stepchildren are necessarily removed.

But nonetheless, Tomato is quite thermophilic, so in the southern regions, where the difference in night / day temperatures is small, gives a better harvest than in the middle lane. If the summer is short and the nights are cold, it is better to grow it in greenhouses.
The main advantages
Summarizing all the above, you can highlight the most important advantages of the variety (and there are a lot of them):
- very large and tasty fruits;
- high yield;
- resistance to changeable weather conditions, rain, drought;
- high immunity to various diseases;
- harmonious ripening of tomatoes.

Cultivation
Like any other, this hybrid is also grown in a seedling manner.
Planting seeds and caring for seedlings
Planting of seeds should be calculated taking into account the climatic zone so that at least 60 days have elapsed before the expected transplanting to the open ground.More precisely, the appearance of the first shoots should take 40-45 days.
The process of sowing seeds for seedlings is no different from sowing other tomatoes. Seeds are soaked in a weak solution of manganese for 0.5 hours. Prepare the container and the soil in advance. For soil, take 1/2 of the land, 1/2 of peat or rotted manure. On 1 bucket mix you need to add 2 cups of sand and 1 cup of wood ash, mix well. Fill the container with soil: wooden boxes with a height of 10-12 cm, plastic cups or containers with drainage holes.
The treated seeds are introduced into the soil to a depth of 1 - 1.5 cm, gently moistened, the container is covered with glass or transparent film, put in a warm, well-lit place. When the seeds hatch, the film is removed, the room temperature is slightly lowered so that the sprouts do not stretch out, but the illumination should still be maximum (at least 12-14 hours).
At the stage of emergence of 2 true leaves, seedlings are swooping and pinning. After 10 days, you can make the first combined feeding.
Planting seedlings in the open ground and the subsequent care
In open soil or greenhouse seedlings are planted at the age of 40-45 days,pre-hardened on the street during the daytime. Landing scheme - 50x60 cm per 1 square. m - up to 4 plants.
Next - the usual care: moderate watering with warm water 3 times a week, timely feeding, loosening the soil and removing weeds, compulsory stumping and careful garters of the bushes.
How to get seeds for next year?
To always have good seeds and be confident in the correctness of the variety, you can independently prepare the seeds for planting next year. It is necessary to choose a large mature specimen, remove seeds from all chambers, soak in water overnight, rinse well under running water. Lay out on a napkin or soft cloth to dry in a ventilated room, but not under direct sunlight.
