Tomatoes have an impressive size compared to other varieties. The weight of the fruit can reach five hundred grams. There are five berries on each branch close to each other. The pulp of the fruit is dense, fleshy, with an average seed content. The skin is dark red (some sources indicate that the skin has a chocolate hue). It is very dense, which guarantees the absence of cracks and deformation of the fetus.
How to grow
The cultivation of the Paul Robson variety does not require specific knowledge and skills. It feels great both outdoors and in greenhouse conditions. Naturally, greenhouse conditions are best suited to obtain the highest possible yield.
Due to its high growth, rich yield, as well as a medium-thick stem, it must be tied to a support in order to avoid the fall of the entire bush. A good time to plant is mid-March. Seedlings should be carried out at a depth of approximately two centimeters. Many practitioners advise treating the seeds with growth stimulants to guarantee 100 percent climbing. In the second half of May, seedlings can already be placed in damp soil.
As mentioned above, this variety belongs to the mid-season and its ripening period ranges from 115 to 130 days. The bush should be watered sparingly to avoid late blight, which is the most common cause of death for most tomato varieties.
Important! In no case should you water the bush with cold water. This will kill the plant.
Paul Robson loves being fed. A mixture of superphosphate and potassium sulfate works well. No more than three plants should be planted per square meter. A larger number can kill all seedlings.
The formation of the bush is done in two stems. One or three is not recommended. Pros advise keeping four or five brushes. The bush may not stand any longer when ripe. It is also recommended to carry out a careful pick. Once every five days, it is necessary to thin out the leaves on the bush.
One of the advantages of this variety is its resistance to all kinds of diseases. It is necessary to monitor the appearance of symptoms of late blight. If you miss the moment of infection, then you can find that all the seedlings can no longer be saved and all efforts were made in vain. In order to avoid infection with fungal or viral diseases, it is required to carry out preventive procedures and treat the bushes with special solutions, but do not overdo it.
