The best early low-growing varieties of fruitful tomatoes for open ground

Early varieties of tomatoes for open ground by type of growth are divided into several groups. The parameter for classification is the height of the tomato bush. Low-growing tomatoes for open ground are presented in four varieties, which are combined into two groups:

• determinant;
• superdeterminant.

Classification of tomatoes by type of bush growth

The height of early low-growing varieties of tomatoes for open ground, belonging to the determinant group of plants, does not exceed one meter, superdeterminant plants are lower in growth, their upper limit is 80 cm.

A subgroup of standard plants is distinguished from determinant tomatoes. It includes varieties with a compact root system and a strong trunk. Those varieties with a maximum bush height of less than 80 cm are allocated into a subgroup superdeterminate tomato.

There are many open field tomatoes with tall bushes (up to 2 m) that have unlimited vigor. They are all grouped together indeterminate tomatoes... Indents require more attention, a lot of time is spent on the formation of bushes, for intensive fruiting, they need balanced feeding. Therefore, we will compare productive varieties of tomatoes for open ground, included in the group of determinant plants.

Features of determinant tomatoes

You can understand why all super-early varieties are most often of a determinant type by the following characteristics of the bush:

• the number of stepchildren is small;
• bushes branch weakly;
• short internodes;
• a limited number of inflorescences (6 pcs.) are formed on the bushes.

After the formation of the number of fruits declared in the description, the bushes stop growing. All their strength goes into the ripening of the tomato, which is why the earliest varieties are usually determinant.

Many very early varieties of very small stature belong to the group of superdeterminant tomatoes. They stop growing after tying 3 hands. The early cessation of growth explains their early maturity.

All standard tomatoes are high-yielding. Their bushes do not grow for a long time due to small roots, so the fruit is early return. Having understood the terms, you can understand from the description of the variety which tomatoes ripen earlier for growing in the open field.
