Characteristics and description of the Klusha tomato variety, its yield

Currently, breeders have bred a huge number of varieties, so sometimes it is quite difficult to navigate in this variety. For example, Tomato Klusha has already fallen in love with many gardeners and gardeners.

general information

Klusha tomatoes (pink varieties are called Super Klusha) were created in 2006 by a Russian breeder from Siberia V. Dederko. The variety is listed in the official Variety Register. Perfect for growing not only in the southern, but also in the northern regions of Russia. In addition, the Klusha variety has a huge number of positive characteristics.

Such an unusual name for an agricultural crop was given for a reason. In fact, if you look closely, you can see some similarities between the plant and the brooding hen. A small, compact bush that is covered with small tomatoes.

A variety with an early maturity of fruits: from the moment of emergence to the appearance of the first reddened tomatoes, no more than 80-95 days pass. Klusha is a determinant variety, it can grow up to 55 - 60 cm in height. This type of nightshade crop is perfect for owners of small backyards.

A large number of bushes can be planted in a small area, and this will not negatively affect the harvest.

Due to the compactness of the bush, the Klusha tomato variety can be grown even on the balcony. The same characteristics are in the Superklush tomato variety, the only thing that distinguishes them is the color of ripe fruits. The bush is completely covered with small leaves, behind which the tomatoes are practically invisible. The tops are dark green, like most varieties.

Separately, it should be said about yield of tomato Cluche. Despite the fact that the bushes are very low, they are so covered with fruits that from one plant you can collect from 1.9 to 2.5 kg of tomatoes. This is one of the main advantages of the variety, thanks to which the tomato is so fond of domestic farmers.

Ripe tomatoes have good taste. Especially suitable for preservation as a whole. When preparing sauces or tomato juice, it is better to give preference to large-fruited varieties.
