Tomatoes series "Date": abundance of fruit in each garden

Tomatoes date, characteristic and description of the variety are very diverse, since neither the variety nor the hybrid of this type is in the register of selection achievements of the Russian Federation. Vegetable growers, sharing their opinions, someone is enthusiastic, someone is outraged, one thing is clear - a continuous transfer.

general information

Since the market is replete with bags of "dates", of course people are buying. Moreover, sown seeds and grown plants from one, give good yields of tasty and sweet tomatoes, which are quite satisfied with vegetable growers, while others still have much to be desired.

Perhaps sometime, they will carry out trials and introduce such a “miracle” into the registry, but for the time being we will be content with what the “craftsmen” have produced in the field of seed packaging.

Description of the series

If we consider all possible options for tomato dates on the market, we can find common features for the entire series:

• Small-fruited (up to 50 g);
• Oval, ovoid or obovate;
• Abundance of fruits;
• Semi-determinantness of whether the vegetative form is indeterminant.

Grown bushes of tomato-dates, if you are lucky to become the owner of good seeds, can amaze and delight the vegetable grower with the beauty of their bush. Red and yellow candle tomatoes hang in clusters from low-leafed bushes.

These tomatoes are good and in a tin can. Vegetable growers who love the exotic and who know a lot about cooking constantly search for interesting forms and in this regard, dates are quite appropriate.

These varieties are popular in Europe. Although dates are not called, but small, oval, cocktail tomatoes are present at any meal.

A vegetable plate with colorful tomatoes can be a decoration for any table. Picking up very small tomatoes can be combined with olives and olives, which also looks interesting.

“Red date”

Small red tomato came to taste vegetable growers.

Characteristics and description

The company "Russian garden", which has filed on the market of this "date" describes the hybrid as a semi-determinant. However, the tomato date red f1 in reviews is listed as tall, indeterminant, reaching heights of 180 or even more centimeters. Some, describing these tomatoes compare them with tomato-octopus.

Describing the form should be said that it is not unambiguous. One shrub, and even one tomato cluster can bear the fruits of a round classical form, oval, ovoid and obovate. This feature does not upset vegetable growers at all, since it is easy to calibrate them in shape.

The size of the tomatoes is also not uniform. At the time of ripening, one tomato may be weighing 15 g, the other 7-8 g.But in color they will all be uniform, scarlet, saturated color.

At the cut, two nests with fine seeds are clearly visible. Seed nests are not filled with pulp, and the juice is almost clear.

Tomato fruits are collected in brushes. Harvesting can be carried out with brushes, since ripening proceeds evenly, and all fruits have approximately the same degree of maturity.

Advantages and disadvantages

Among the advantages of vegetable growers identified the following:

• high yield;
• good disease resistance;
• great taste;
• good keeping quality;
• interesting shape of the fruit.

The disadvantage of the variety can be considered re-grading. However, this is most likely a human factor, and not a property of a variety.

But later ripening is really considered a disadvantage of the variety, since late autumn it is necessary to pluck completely green tomato brushes and measure them indoors. However, this can be wrapped up to their advantage. Many vegetable growers note the fact that tomatoes on a brush have very good keeping quality. They can be kept in a cool, but dry place for 1.5, and then 2 months.

Disease and Pest Resistance

Those vegetable growers who have already managed to grow a tomato "Date Red" tell about the extreme resistance of the variety to fungal and bacterial diseases.

When planted together with other varieties, this variety will be the least sensitive to fungal spores.

Features of growing varieties

"Red date", being late, needs early sowing. When choosing a date you need to stop at the beginning of March.

After preparing the soil, the seeds are sown and sent to a warm place. Shoots appear quickly and together. Since at the beginning of March there is not enough daylight, it is necessary to light up.

The seedling period does not differ from all other varieties, but when a plant is being transplanted, it is necessary to maintain a distance of 35-40 cm. The plant is formed into two shoots.

Since the tomato, although with small fruits, is very fruitful, it requires regular dressings:

1. The first in 2-3 weeks after disembarkation. It feeds with a solution of nitrogenous mineral fertilizers (2 tbsp of carbamide spoons per bucket of water);
2. The second after 2 weeks with a solution of organic matter (1 kg of manure per bucket of water);
3. Third in 2 weeks. On a bucket of water 1 tbsp. spoon of ammonium nitrate and 1 tbsp. spoon superphosphate;
