Description and description of tomato "Carbon"

This American hybrid variety is just a godsend for lovers of dark-fruited tomatoes. By the way, he is a repeated champion of various agricultural competitions in his homeland.

A distinctive feature of “Carbon” is the termination of the growth of the bush in height after the formation of 8-10 flower brushes on it. This is a positive moment, since at this time the bush should already spend its energy not on the formation of new ovaries, but on the ripening of the already established fruits.

Variety Characteristics

•         The bush is powerful, medium-sized - up to 1-1.5 m in height.
•         Designed for growing mainly in greenhouses. In open ground it will grow, but productivity will decrease significantly.
•         Early ripening, matures 110-120 days after emergence.
•         Yield.
•         The variety is identinant, i.e. constantly growing to the sides. Regular stepsoning and garter to the support will be required.
•         Fruits are rounded flattened, purple-chocolate color. Quite large, each weighing up to 250-300 g. The pulp is dense, sweet. Tomatoes are suitable for slicing in fresh salads, for making juices.
•         Very long fruiting period: with good care, the absence of late blight and suitable warm weather, you can take the fruits until mid-autumn.

8 growing tips

1.       Plant seedlings in a greenhouse, keeping 40 cm between plants. For 1 square. m usually grows no more than 4 bushes.
2.       Grow "Carbon" in 2, maximum 3 trunks, this method is most effective.
3.       Tie up the bush when it reaches a height of 35-40 cm.
4.       Start stepson after tying the first fruits. Remove all leaves below the first flower brush, above it, tear off the leaves through one.
5.       Do not plant this variety in the sunshine itself. Like all types of dark-fruited tomatoes, "Carbon" will burn, its fruits will crack. If there is no choice (for example, the greenhouse is already installed in a too open sunny place and it is not practical to rearrange it), pull the Carbon bushes, reinforcing the agrofibre on the walls of the greenhouse.

Reviews

Planted it several years ago in the open ground. Summer was cold and rainy, I must say that the variety did not work out at all.

I believe that this variety and place is a greenhouse, and there is a lot of fuss with it. The taste of the fruit is unusual, exotic, with some kind of acidity, or something ... My family liked it so much in salads that we will definitely plant it again next year.

I tried to grow "Carbon" in the open ground. Something I didn’t really like the yield. True, it did not land in the sun itself. Probably, still it is more suitable for growing in a greenhouse.
