Every summer resident has planted, grown tomatoes at least once and knows that there are many different varieties of tomatoes. Today we will talk about the most exotic and unusual variety of tomatoes - the Amur tiger tomato. They are capable of ripening within 108-112 days, yield a good harvest and have a variegated color that distinguishes them from other varieties.
Characteristics of the Amur tiger variety
Now we will consider a small description of the variety. If you are going to grow this tomato variety in the southern part of Russia, then it is better to do it on the soil that is more open. The approximate ripening time is from 105 days to 108. For Siberia, as well as the middle zone, the best conditions for growing this variety are greenhouses. Please note that planting seeds for seedlings should be about a month and a half before you plan to move them to the greenhouse.
Before, in fact, planting seedlings, scatter humus over the holes made. Be sure to use Kemir's top dressing when you plan to plant seedlings and during flowering. The height of a fully mature bush can reach from 1 to 1.5 meters.
If the tomatoes are planted in a greenhouse, then it is necessary to combine the bush into one or even two stems, but not more, eliminating all possible stepchildren, before the first fork. To achieve more fruit, be sure to pluck the growing point before the growing season is over. The bush must be tied up without fail. The type of fruiting is carpal. One brush can contain 10-12 ripe fruits, and the weight of each can reach about 40-100 grams.
On one bush, the weight of all fruits located there can be up to about 1.5 kg. That is, in principle, their whole characteristic.
Fruit
The fruits of the Amur Tiger variety themselves are quite dense, and the shape is spherical. The color of the ripe fruit is reddish, brindle with graceful yellow stripes. And the taste of the fruit is simply amazing. The ripening pattern in the cluster is consistent. Such tomatoes are perfect only for processing, but conservation is clearly not for them, because, unfortunately, they have a thin skin. This variety is not afraid of viral diseases, as it is resistant to them.
Recommendations
In the previous place, it is allowed to plant tomatoes again no earlier than after 2-3 years. Please note that in no case should fresh manure be thrown. By doing this, you will only make things worse: the stepsons will begin to actively grow, large leaves will form, the stems will become much thicker, and as for the fruits, they will set much worse and grow very slowly.
Break off the leaves less, some gardeners do this in order to get better yields, however, if you abuse it, you can get the opposite effect. Thanks to the leaves, the fruits receive the necessary useful vitamins and substances, so break off only poor-quality, diseased leaves. When the first brush from below is filled with ripe fruits, the leaves under it can be safely cut off. Further, as they ripen, remove the leaves from the tomatoes, however, keep in mind that you need to pick no more than 3-4 leaves a week and be sure to eliminate the stepsons on time, otherwise part of the harvest will be lost.
To better set the tomatoes, it is recommended to spray them with boric acid (0.02 percent solution).
Often watering the Amur tiger tomatoes is not worth it, it is better to do it rarely, but with high quality. Be sure to loosen and huddle tomatoes, they love it very much.
If you plan to grow tomatoes in a greenhouse, keep in mind that temperatures above 32 degrees will negatively affect them. They gradually begin to fade. Constantly monitor the indicators, if necessary, ventilate.
This culture loves highly fertile, light soils. It's good if cucumbers, cabbage, beans, carrots used to grow on it.
