Tomato variety Yablonka of Russia
The apple tree of Russia belongs to the early ripening varieties of tomato, the period from full sprouting to the beginning of ripening of which is approximately 118 - 135 days. The plant is standard, determinant, medium-leafy, medium-branched. The tomato reaches a height of 80 - 100 cm and does not require shaping and pinching, which is why this variety is called "tomatoes for the lazy." The stem usually bears several thickened shoots with leaves that look like potato leaves. The Russian apple tree tomato develops well and bears fruit, both in a greenhouse and in the open field.
Resistant to dry weather and disease, this variety gives a lot of ovaries, on one bush, with good care, up to 100 fruits of a round shape, bright red in color can ripen at a time, which do not crack and after collection they perfectly tolerate transportation.
The mass of one fruit is up to 100 grams. The apple tree of Russia produces tasty fruits with a pronounced aroma, ideal for canning, making salads and processing into juice.
The tomato Yablonka of Russia belongs to the thermophilic crops that are grown using seedlings. Seeds in early March are sown in a nutritious soil, and after the appearance of 2 - 3 leaves, the seedlings are transplanted into separate pots. Many recommend hardening the seedlings of this variety so that future bushes are stronger. To do this, in April, the seedlings are periodically exposed for a couple of hours outside. Planting in open ground is usually done in mid-May, while the age of the tomato must be at least 60 days.
Apple tree of Russia is a tomato that prefers places protected from the wind with sufficient sunlight, while the soil should be loamy, enriched with organic fertilizers. This variety should not be planted after potatoes, eggplants or physalis, since these plants can be susceptible to late blight disease, the spores of which can linger in the soil for several years. The soil after legumes, pumpkins or root crops is considered favorable for planting this tomato.
For planting in open ground, holes are formed, located at a distance of at least 70 cm from each other, into which fertilizer is placed - manure or rotted grass. This is followed by abundant watering and sprinkling of fertilizer with earth - only after that a peat pot with a plant is installed in the hole, which is covered with earth and watering is performed again.
For the first time, it is recommended to cover the planted seedlings with a film - this way the tomatoes will quickly get used to the new conditions for them.
The first feeding of the tomato Yablonka of Russia is carried out after 15 days, as it is used a mullein diluted in a ratio of 1: 5, or a special fertilizer prepared in advance according to the following recipe: nettle, dandelion and any other weeds are poured with water and infused until a persistent unpleasant odor appears. This tincture is diluted with water at the rate of half a liter of tincture per 10 liters of water and poured under the root of the plants so that the fertilizer does not fall on the leaves. Approximately once every two weeks, it is advisable to pour wood ash under the root of the tomato, and tomatoes of this variety also respond well to mulching. After the bushes have grown, they must be tied up using a soft rope or rags of fabric.
The apple tree of Russia is one of the most popular varieties among summer residents and small farmers. We grew it outdoors, but as far as I know from the reviews, it gives a very good harvest in a greenhouse. Shows resistance to fungal diseases and adverse environmental factors.
Growing this tomato, we got a good harvest. The fruits weighed 100 - 150 g, it is convenient to roll such fruits. The fruits are juicy and sweet. In care, the bushes are not demanding and undersized. I prefer the undersized.
Is this a tomato ???
Rub the leaf - if there is a tomato smell and yellow-green fingers, then this is a tomato. And if the sheets are glossy and not dirty, then it looks like pepper.
Well, a pepper is very different from a tomato. completely different greens.
Yes, this variety has potato-like leaves.
The apple tree of Russia is one of my favorite tomatoes, I have been growing it for more than one season. In early spring, I sow seeds in a greenhouse, and then I plant them in open ground, when the seedlings get stronger and gain strength. The bushes during the flowering period and the beginning of the ovary are tied to a trellis, which facilitates further care and harvesting. I like this variety for its high yield and unpretentiousness, and it is also very resistant to disease. For example, phytophthora is much easier to tolerate than many other varieties. And the tomatoes themselves are small and "fleshy" - it is very convenient to close them in jars for the winter.
The first time I bought seedlings in the market, and it seemed to me some kind of strange - the leaves were wide and slightly rounded, like those of potatoes. The woman who sold praised what a good tomato. And you know, I really did not regret it, the seedlings took root well and felt very good on the street under the spunbond. Bushes are low, formed in 2-3 stepsons, tied to pegs. And surprisingly, the phytophthora did not touch her much, during the season she carried out only two treatments with ecosil. Tomatoes are one to one smooth, round, like in a store, straight top class, and ripened almost at the same time. And two bushes in the greenhouse bore fruit almost until October. This year I sowed my own seeds, I liked the variety, I will continue to grow it.
I usually collect seeds from tomatoes grown in my garden. And for a change, I buy two or three varieties of seedlings. This year I bought Yablonka of Russia.
The harvest was excellent. There are a lot of fruits on the bush, they ripen together, small tomatoes, just right for pickling. Fruiting and ripening until late autumn. It is advisable to sow it first in boxes, then plant the seedlings in the ground. This method of planting makes it possible to get a crop at an earlier date.
If the year turned out to be difficult, the weather is not suitable for tomatoes, then Yablonka always helps out. I like the fact that the bushes are compact, well leafy, form a lot of ovaries. Looking at the plantings, one can say with confidence where the Yablonka of Russia is planted. The leaves are very different from other varieties in shape and color. Tomatoes before ripening are light green, almost white. Almost all are the same in size, round, even. For all the time of cultivation, I have never observed diseases in this variety.
