The foliage is weak, which allows the pouring fruit to absorb more sunlight. The leaves of the tomato are small (about 28 cm long, 25 cm wide), of the usual type, slightly corrugated, green.

Characteristics

• The Limerens hybrid belongs to the early maturing. The originators stated that 90 - 95 days pass from the moment of emergence of full shoots to the beginning of ripening. In fact, this process takes place even earlier. On a test bed in the Moscow region, the first fruits were removed after 85 days;
• the yield for a tiny plant is simply enormous. One bush of this variety is capable of producing 3 kg of high-value fruits. From 1 square meter, the yield can be from 10 to 12 kg, but with compacted plantings, it is possible to collect 15 kg;
• immunity is excellent. The variety is resistant to tobacco mosaic virus, Alternaria, verticillosis, root rot. Early and amicable ripening of tomatoes allows you to safely avoid fusarium;
• thin, but very strong peel saves tomatoes from cracking;
• high adaptability to temperature changes. It is noted that Limerens is highly resistant to heat, which allows him to successfully tie a crop at elevated temperatures;
• there is no information about transportability and keeping quality, but judging by the consistency of the pulp and the strength of the skin, these indicators will be at their best;
• the way of use is universal.First of all, ripe tomatoes are used to prepare early vitamin salads or fresh juices. At the stage of technical ripeness, the crop of this variety can be used for pickling.

Agrotechnics

For those who are familiar with the general rules for the cultivation of low-growing tomatoes, there will be no problems. Limerens is grown in seedlings. Calculate planting dates, first of all, taking into account the climatic characteristics of the region and the method of growing the crop. The recommended planting density is 5 or even 6 plants per square meter. Despite its short stature, it is still better to tie the bush to a support so that heavy brushes do not end up on the ground. To obtain a larger yield, a plant can be formed in 3 - 4 stems. Care consists in watering and feeding on time, also do not forget about loosening and weeding.

The Limerens hybrid is a novelty that has passed the test with dignity. It has established itself as a reliable, high-yielding and disease-resistant variety. Of course, the main assessment will be given by tomato growers, who probably already consider this crop as one of the main novelties of the next season. In the meantime, of the minuses of this tomato, only one can be named - the inability to independently collect seed material.
