Description
The variety belongs to mid-ripening varieties, from the appearance of seedlings to the ripening of the fruit takes about 116-120 days. The bush is indeterminate, grows from 150 to 180 centimeters. The stalk is quite strong, medium leafy, the inflorescence is simple, 3-4 fruits are formed on one. Large foliage is dark green. Fruits are flat-round in shape, even, at the stage of maturity, a bright red color is painted. Tomatoes are quite large 200-350 grams. But there can be more on the lower brush. Their skin is dense, fleshy flesh, has an excellent taste. With the prescribed care from one bush, you can get up to 5 kg of juicy ripe tomatoes, which is pretty good.
This variety was created specifically for the Urals, but it can be planted throughout Russia. It is recommended to grow plants in greenhouse conditions. Tomatoes can be eaten fresh, added to various dishes, and canned for the winter, in the form of juice, salads, lecho and sauces.
Disease and Prevention
It has excellent resistance to common diseases, such as the tobacco mosaic virus, and yet it is not treatable and can cause significant damage to the fruit. And also to fusarium and cladosporiosis. Still fruits are resistant to cracking, are subject to long-term storage and transportation, while maintaining an attractive appearance. But, unfortunately, there is still no variety that would be 100% resistant to late blight, so it is necessary to prevent the disease, it is much easier than treating it later.

The variety tolerates temperature differences well, because it is adapted for the Ural climate, and cooling is not uncommon there. Fruits on the bushes will be actively tied even in cool and cloudy weather. "Ural" steadily survives and overheating.

Agricultural technology
As mentioned above, for this variety requires regular care, this will guarantee a high yield. To plant seeds for seedlings you will need:
- Convenient capacity.
- Germinating seeds purchased from trusted suppliers.
- Fertile soil for seedlings.
Soil is poured into the tank, slightly moistened and made into grooves with a depth of 15 mm, seeds are sown in them, at a distance of 2 cm. You should not reduce it, it will thicken the planting, and the seedlings can stretch out. Comfortable temperature for seedlings is 18-22 degrees, the room should be well lit, it is better to place containers with seedlings on the windowsill. In the evening, it is recommended to illuminate young plants with a lamp.
Seedlings are dived into separate containers when one leaf appears.In order for it to develop faster and grow stronger, it can be fed using specialized complex fertilizers for seedlings. The optimal age for its transplant is 55 days, if the seedlings have not reached this age or are much older, you can not get the expected result. Before landing, it is necessary to conduct hardening for 7 days.
Transfer
For tomatoes, it is better to choose a bright place, they like light and fertile soil, if its acidity is increased it is quenched with lime, it is advisable to do this in the fall. Recommended planting pattern is 60 to 40, wood ash is added to the wells before planting. Since the bushes are tall, they need support, for this you can use stakes or set a trellis. Also, weekly stepsons need to be removed, forming plants in 1-2 stems. Approximately in the middle of the growing season, the leaves from the bottom are harvested, this will accelerate the ripening of the fruits.
Like all Ural tomatoes, you need to water regularly, but in moderation, without getting on the leaves, after that the greenhouse should be well ventilated. Weeds are removed as they appear, every 10-12 days it is necessary to loosen the aisles. Some experienced gardeners advise mulching the soil with sawdust or mowed grass. Nutrition of tomatoes is also important, it needs to be done every two weeks, alternating organic and mineral fertilizers.

I have once again expressed a huge bow to the breeders, I previously bought several Siberian varieties, but this season I saw the sale of the Ural variety. The seller immediately advised me to try to plant, said that he takes root perfectly in our climate. He began to prepare seeds at the end of winter, he sowed in early March, the seedlings grew strong, though he hardened using an open window leaf, he could not stand them on the street, since he considered that it was still cold. He planted it in the greenhouse in June, carefully looked after it, the tomatoes formed very large for hybrids, they just taste great, I will plant more next year.

I like experiments, I live in the Krasnodar Territory, and every year I try to grow some unusual varieties. In this, I chose the Ural tomato, its peculiarity is that it is adapted not for cultivation in the south, but for colder regions. Sowed seeds in March, in the 10th of June replanted on a bed (although planting in a greenhouse is recommended). The bushes grew 1.70, the fruits are large up to 300 grams, perhaps in a greenhouse would grow more. It tastes excellent, it did not plant much, so only fresh ones were eaten.
