The plant itself looks very attractive, resembling not a tomato bush, but a tree, with bunches of beautiful, berry-like fruits. But the unlimited growth of the bush will require additional measures to strengthen the stem with a tie to a support or trellis.

Important! To obtain stocky seedlings with short internodes, the day and night temperature should be maintained at 23-24 degrees, reducing it by a couple of degrees after 25 days. This will signal the plant to quickly form the first three brushes.

Recommended agricultural techniques

All varieties of tomatoes with unlimited growth in central Russia are traditionally grown in spring-type greenhouses on natural solar heating in a seedling way.

1. Seeds are sown to obtain seedlings 60-65 days before transplanting to a permanent place. Dates are floating, depending on local climatic conditions and the quality of the greenhouse. Approximately - the last decade of March.
2. To grow strong, healthy seedlings, it is necessary to monitor the temperature and light conditions, preventing the seedlings from stretching. Seedlings dive at the stage of 1-2 permanent leaves in separate containers or boxes.
3. Seedlings are transplanted into a greenhouse at the rate of 3-4 plants per sq. m. Planting density depends on how the plant will form.
4. Sibsad seed producers recommend leaving only one main stem. This will allow the plant to grow quickly, form fruits and allow large fruits to ripen within the stated time frame.
5. But many growers are up to the challenge by growing multi-stem tomatoes. In this case, the timing of the ripening of the crop is postponed. The plant itself requires timely pinching of growth points, removal of stepchildren, dying foliage.
6. Like all tall tomatoes, the variety is responsive to timely watering and competent feeding. After watering, they must loosen the soil and spud the lower part of the stem, covering the adventitious roots in the upper soil layer with a layer of earth.
7. For indeterminate varieties, too nutritious soil is not suitable; they begin to build up green mass too quickly to the detriment of the size of the fruits. This also applies to watering, which should be moderate at the initial stage of the growing season. After the appearance of the first fruits with a diameter of 4-5 cm, watering is brought to 2-3 liters per 1 bush.
