Description of the tomato "Golden Gates"

American breeders continue to amaze with their ability to breed unusual and colorful tomatoes. Golden Gates is a tomato variety that was created in California by B. Heitz. In honor of this breeder, the variety is named.

Fruit Description

Golden Gates refers to mid-season tomatoes. The full cycle of cultivation before harvesting the first tomatoes is 110-120 days. Half of the cycle, 60-65 days, is allocated for sowing and seedling growth. Tomato indertinate, requires constant care. The leaves are not modified, the stem grows up to two meters in height. It is recommended to plant no more than 4 plants per square meter.

The structure of the bush is no different from other types of tall tomatoes. On one hand, an average of 4 fruits are tied. Weight ranges from 120-200 grams. The main feature is color. During ripening, tomatoes from completely green turn first into yellow fruits with green stripes, and when fully ripened, green stripes may remain or fully accumulate yellow pigment.

Tomato grows in the form of a disproportionate plum. A small spout may form at the end of the fetus. It tastes sweet, very juicy and satisfying. Resistant to various conditions. They feel great both in open ground and in greenhouses. The yield of the bush is an average of 3-4 kg. The main purpose:

• fresh consumption;
• canning fruits in jars. The size is perfect for whole pickling.

Plant care

The technology of planting seeds and seedlings is no different from conventional tomato cultivation. The features of care include:

1. Tying the stems to a previously prepared support, since the plant is tall.
2. It is recommended to form a bush on 2-3 stems. Under such conditions, the fruits will be large.
3. For watering, it is better to use drip irrigation, or if there is no way to install it, you need to water them under the root. You can’t irrigate the plant from above, especially in hot weather. The leaves will begin to bake in the sun and die, which is bad for the development and ripening of fruits.
4. Despite the strong resistance, the occurrence of diseases and the appearance of pests that want to enjoy the fruits are not ruled out. Treatment with fungicides, insecticides will save the plants. Do not neglect irrigation, because you can lose the whole crop.

Hope:

Golden Gates is a good tomato, ordered through the online catalog. Seeds came quickly. Seedlings, as usual, were planted in the month of May. Started harvesting in late July. There were many fruits. It tastes very sweet, like for tomatoes. She did a lot of preservation, both in whole form and in tomato juice. Many refuse new products in breeding, and I believe that you need to try as many tomatoes as possible to get great experience that you can share with someone.

Used to plant red and pink tomatoes.The first year I tried to grow yellow tomatoes, I bought the Golden Gates variety. I did not notice anything special in their development. To taste they resemble the same tomatoes of red or pink color. The only thing that they turned out to be more sweet and fleshy, while many other varieties are observed to be hollow. I will experiment further, which I wish to other gardening and agronomy lovers!

Yellow tomatoes are gradually interested in lovers and professionals of agronomy. So why not try to diversify your garden by buying Golden Gates seeds.
