Growing vegetables, a skillful and diligent housewife will provide the family with fresh vitamins. A canned variegated assortment, with additions of seasonings, will diversify the kitchen table in winter. The apple variety is the best suited for this purpose, because its fruits tend to be stored for a long time. This means that when the season of fresh vegetables has already passed, there will be beautiful red tomatoes on your table.

Description

Apple Lipetsk is a mid-season, indeterminate variety. The height of the plant in the open field is 1.6 m, in the greenhouse - 1.8 m. The bush is medium-sized.

Upon reaching biological ripeness, the fruits turn red. There are no spots around the peduncle. The fruits ripen gradually. The average weight of fruits is 150-300 g. With good care and favorable weather conditions, tomatoes grow up to 450 g. The yield is average: 3.5 kg of vegetables can be harvested on one bush.

The low fertility for indeterminate varieties is fully covered by the unique taste. The pulp is fleshy, juicy. The taste is balanced, rich tomato. There are few seed chambers. The fruits are used for fresh consumption and for the preparation of tomato juices. Small specimens are canned.

In appearance, a large mass of tomato stems need a garter. In order for the characteristics of the tomato not only to be justified, but also to improve, it is recommended to form the bushes into 2 stems. In the middle lane, the variety is recommended to be grown in hotbeds, greenhouses, and in the southern part of the country - in the open field.

Winter in the name of tomatoes

If the name of the variety contains the word Siberian, such as the Siberian Apple tomato, this does not mean that it needs to be planted in the Far North. You can grow it in the middle lane and to the south. The plant, when planting, is formed into two stems, on which stepchildren must be constantly removed. The yield of tomato, both Siberian Apple and Apples on the Snow, is very high.

But the last variety differs from the previous one in that it grows short. On a determinant bush, 60 cm high, up to 35 fruits ripen, giving a total of up to 3 kg of production. The berry is small, about 50 grams, evenly colored, without a spot of a different color at the stalk. The variety is distinguished by its fresh storage duration, when tomatoes with green apples are added to the salad, but it is also ideal for winter preparations.

Growing recommendations

These tomatoes can be grown in any region of the Russian Federation.

Light, fertile soils are best suited for growing these tomatoes. These tomatoes are grown in seedlings. Seeds for seedlings are planted in late March or early April. When planted, they go deeper into the ground by 2-3 centimeters.

IMPORTANT! Before planting, the seeds should be treated with a solution of potassium permanganate, and then rinsed with clean water.

During the entire growth period, seedlings should be fed with complex fertilizer two or three times. When one or two full-fledged leaves appear, the seedlings must be dived.

A week before planting in the ground, you need to start hardening the seedlings. Seedlings are planted in the ground at the age of 55-70 days.

When planting, the distance between seedlings should be at least 70 centimeters, and the distance between rows can be from 30 to 40 centimeters.

Plants need to be tied and formed into a single stem.

Do not forget to regularly water the tomatoes with warm water and enrich the soil with complex mineral fertilizer.

Tomato varieties suitable for open ground, the description of which you will find on our website: Lapwings, Russian domes, Heavyweight of Siberia, Alpha, Argonaut, Lyana pink, Miracle of the market, Pink fleshy, Cosmonaut Volkov.

Seedling preparation

When you decide to start growing this type of tomato, you need to know its agricultural technology.

Seedlings need to be fertilized
Seedlings need to be fertilized

All plants should be planted in a permanent place from seedlings. If this is not a hybrid, then you can collect your own seeds, otherwise the seed must be purchased at markets or selection stations. Before planting, the seeds must be prepared for sowing and conditions suitable for development must be created.

First, the soil is prepared, which includes:

  • garden land;
  • peat;
  • humus;
  • ash;
  • fertilizers.

All ingredients are mixed and checked for tightness using a compression method. If the soil is crumbling, it means that it is suitable for sowing seeds. The seeds are soaked overnight in a stimulant, plus a weak solution of potassium permanganate. In the morning they wash them and start planting, laying out the seed in prepared containers.

The finished containers are sprayed with water from a spray bottle and covered with glass or polyethylene. The temperature required for germination should be about 25 degrees during the day and within 18 degrees at night. After the shoots appear, you need to wait until the second pair of leaves is formed and start picking. When the seedlings take root, they can be fertilized and do this three times in 2 months, until the time comes for planting in a greenhouse or field.

Characteristics of tomato fruits

The main purpose of planting crops is harvesting, so special attention should be paid to the characteristics of ripe fruits.

Breeding work

The result of breeding work with tomatoes, as noted above, are:

  • increased productivity;
  • improvement or appearance of uniqueness of taste;
  • increased resistance to storage of fruits;
  • improving adaptability to growing conditions;
  • expanding the list of options for using the fruit.

The reason for the need for breeding experiments is that tomatoes are grown all over the world, in different climatic zones.

More often, similar work is carried out in the southern zone, which is associated with the possibility of obtaining not one harvest per year, but several. When adding the quality of early maturity - about 5-6, which is then tested in colder regions.

There are various ways of using tomatoes for cooking various dishes, for which different characteristics of taste, shape, color are important.

If meatiness and taste are important for salad, then for processing into juice, mashed potatoes - a small amount of waste (few seeds, thin skin), the size of the tomato, its density.

Growing conditions are based on frost resistance or withstanding high temperatures, the number of leaves, the indicator of non-decay of the bush and its transportability are important. Also important are the requirements for greenhouses, resistance to diseases and pests, suitability for mechanical harvesting.

Tomatoes Marisol purple and Lilac lake (black varieties).

The fruits of these tomatoes are very similar - flat-round, purple with pink flesh, fleshy, very sweet, weighing 400-500 g.

However, it is imperative to carry out preventive measures during planting, which will contribute to:

  • Improving productivity;
  • Acceleration of the ripening period;
  • Growing a better crop.

Gardeners note that Apple tomato is resistant and can be stored for a long time.

If, before planting seeds, you need to heat them using an oven, and spill the soil with a manganese solution, this is necessary in order to save the harvest in the future. To avoid late blight, you need to spray with preparations containing copper. This will help keep the plant from developing problems such as rot and fungus.

Pests can be overcome by infusion based on:

  • Celandine;
  • Chamomile;
  • Yarrow.

If you had to face a naked slug, then you need to dilute the ammonia with water. Insects are removed manually, after which processing is carried out. Tomato Apple can be a chic choice for those who prefer to grow exotic varieties on their site. The fruits are distinguished by originality and excellent taste. This is what can be called an excellent reward for all the work spent.

The peculiarity of the Apple tomato variety is that it is permissible to independently collect seeds for subsequent planting.

Not every gardener can appreciate the hard work of breeders and some even consider this to be a real intervention in nature. According to numerous surveys, it was revealed that after all, most of those who tried the Apple tomato variety were satisfied. To be more precise, people note that the work of the breeders was not wasted and they managed to make a variety that can adapt to the various climatic conditions of the country and can give an excellent harvest.

What is unique about this method

Based on the successfully passed approbation, this type of hybrid, grown on the basis of cuttings, is not yet available to Russians, since it is sold only in the UK.

This tomato hybrid is the result of a purely selection process, not genetic modification.

Pollination by bees is undesirable for plants; therefore, they are placed in special tunnels. The rest of the care conditions are no different from the process of growing classic apple trees.

Plant care

When planting tomatoes in a permanent place, you need to make sure that the weather is warm, but not hot. It is better to do this in the evening. Seedlings are planted in holes: four plants per square meter for tall tomatoes and 6 plants for medium growth. You can add a handful of ash to each hole and spill it with warm water. The seedling deepens, is covered with soil and, if it is a tall species, it is tied to supports or trellises.

Further care of the plantings is:

  • in weeding and loosening the soil;
  • in timely watering;
  • in pinning;
  • in a garter;
  • in pest control.

Weeding is needed to kill weeds so that the plants have enough fresh air and nutrients.

Watering should be carried out in the evening and only with warm water, the root system of seedlings suffers from cold water. To combat pests, you can use folk methods and means, or you can purchase chemicals and, following the instructions, process the plantings.

When all the prescriptions are followed and the plants feel cared for and attention, they grow quickly, form flower clusters, set fruits and bring the desired harvest to the owners. After the first tomatoes are ripe, they must be picked immediately, processed or eaten with fresh salads. Farms grow products for transportation and sale to the population. It is not so important whether you have grown a crop, or bought finished products, you need to start processing in order to diversify homemade dishes in winter.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Tomato Golden Apples

Any tomato requires love and care, regardless of whether it is a hybrid or not. Likewise, each tomato variety has its own history of origin. This type of tomato was developed specifically for the Russian climatic conditions, and, moreover, they can grow both in the greenhouse and in the open field.

They can be consumed fresh, in particular, by adding them to salads, snacks, side dishes and even hot dishes.

The advantage of a tomato called Golden Apples is that they can always be eaten fresh without prior heat treatment.

As for processing and conservation, there are no restrictions, and twists with a combination of yellow, red and green tomatoes will look very original. Apple tomatoes are great for making extraordinary, tasty and very healthy juice with a greenish-lemon color.

Russian variety breeders

The tomato variety is very young, bred by Russian (Altai) breeders at the beginning of the 21st century. Refers to medium early tomato varieties. From sowing the seeds to full ripening, 101 - 110 days take place. The variety is indeterminate (the stem does not end its growth, but grows further, forming a bush up to 2.5 m high), has a harmonious taste. In the southern regions, it is successfully grown without cover, in the middle lane - in greenhouses. The bush is very powerful, not too leafy, high, in the greenhouse some specimens reach a height of up to 2 meters. Outdoors 1.5 - 1.7 meters. The apple tomato needs support not only of the stem, but also of the brushes with mature fruits. Formation in two stems is ideal for this variety. The bush is distinguished by its beautiful appearance and fruits, with high taste.

Description of medium-sized tomatoes

These varieties of tomatoes have a height:

  • Robin Apple, up to 1 meter;
  • Apple Spas, up to 80cm;
  • Golden Apple, up to 1 meter.

The name Malinovka speaks for itself, because its berry is crimson. This vegetable is grown in two stalks, and up to five kilograms of tomatoes ripen on them. The product quality is excellent, it is suitable for all types of culinary processing.

Standard tomatoes Apple Spas are incredibly resistant to disease. Fresh vegetables are used for salads and as decoration for other dishes. Tomatoes are also suitable for freezing and preservation.

Tomatoes with an exotic color


Tomato variety Tiger
Probably, as much has not been written about any culture as about tomatoes.

What kinds and varieties it just does not exist: with small, like cherries or grapes, fruits or large-fruited fruits - kilogram; there are tall vines up to 6-8 m or very tiny - 20-30 cm high; according to the shape of the fruit, they can be round, flat-round, oval, "with a spout", "icicles", "barrels", pepper-shaped, heart-shaped, even rhombic and square.

Stems, leaves and even fruits can be smooth and pubescent, and the color range of ripe fruits will flatter the most daring imagination: white, raspberry, pink, red, yellow, orange, green, brown, black and, finally, with patterned fruits - such a variety fruit colors, perhaps, can not be found in any vegetable plant.

The least information can be found about tomatoes with a patterned fruit color. I have been growing three varieties of tomatoes with these fruits for over 13 years. All stories were received through amateur channels from foreign countries. The varieties Apple and Tigrovye are distinguished by irregular yellow-green radial stripes in immature fruits; when ripe, these stripes also retain a paler color against the background of the main red color of the fruits, while becoming yellow and orange.

The intermittent yellow-orange stripes of the Apple variety make some fruits very similar to the Cinnamon striped apples. They are also about the size of an apple, rather large, within 200 g. Semi-determinant bushes are about 180 cm high. To obtain abundant harvests and ripen all fruits, the tops of the bushes are minted at about 150 cm. Each brush bears up to 10 fruits. They are dense in structure, good for canning, keeping, transportable.

This variety in 1992 at the first test showed itself to be very late ripening, but as a result of many years of acclimatization it behaved like an average ripening period.In the last five to six years, all fruits ripen right on the bush until the end of August. Late blight and other diseases have never been affected. Grown in a summer film greenhouse.

Tomato variety Tiger also has a patterned striped color, for which it got its name. It immediately behaved like a medium-ripening variety. Now, rather, it can be described as medium early. Its fruits weigh 80-100 g with bright interpenetrating yellow-orange stripes. The bushes are about 200 cm high, but they should not be allowed to grow uncontrollably, and for the full return of the harvest, it is better to mint the tops at a height of about 160-170 cm.

This tomato is grown in one stem, like the Apple color variety, stepchildren are removed during the growth process. Tiger tomatoes also ripen in the open field, in this case, the top should be minted below the growth indicated earlier by 20-50 cm, depending on the climate in your area. It is noteworthy that when using these colored tomatoes in salting, the elegant color of the fruits is preserved.

In comparison with the above-mentioned varieties, the patterns on the fruits of the Fireworks varieties of tomatoes are of a slightly different nature. The subcutaneous yellow-orange color of the fruit against a red background is insignificant, but the pattern is created on the epidermis (on the skin of the fruit). Patterns, both intermittent and continuous, in the form of radial dots and stripes, keratinized scales on the surface of the fruit - this is a sign that is even rarer and more difficult to fix in subsequent generations during selection, even more difficult and rare, according to the experience of my 13-year observations and tests than a sign of yellow-orange stripes.

Description of indeterminate varieties

Tomato Apple Lipetsk and Apple Minusinsky are tall tomatoes. Both plants can grow indefinitely, but they must be pinched, limiting the height to 1.8 meters. Each species is best grown in two stems. Passyncing must also be carried out.

Fruit characteristics differ slightly between varieties. Apple Lipetsk variety of tomato has round-shaped fruits, red in color, without spots. The taste is real, tomato, with sourness and sweetness. The only disappointment is that he has a small yield - 4 kg per bush, which is not typical for tall species.

There are several varieties of the Apple variety.

There are several varieties of the Apple variety.

Very interesting and fruitful variety Krymskoe Yabloko, which has large raspberry fruits reaching 300 grams. This tomato is a long-liver, it is more than 80 years old, which means that it has been to the taste for several generations. From one bush, with proper care, more than 12 kg of products can be harvested per season.

There are several more tall tomatoes associated with the name apple. Among them will be Adamovo, which can be grown both in the greenhouse and in the field. Products of this type are suitable for processing and consumption in green delicious salads, when red tomatoes are combined with apples. Hybrid Black Apple, and Blue, these varieties of tomatoes are similar in color to the fruit. When ripe, they turn chocolate and purple hues, but their flesh is standard, red, with a characteristic sweet taste.

The best reviews from our readers

“I liked the tomatoes so that they do not need to pay much attention to care. Several times during the season I only applied fertilizers. The yield was excellent. I didn't like fresh vegetables, but they fit perfectly for preservation. In a jar, tomatoes do not crack and retain their flavor. Due to the small size, it is convenient to roll vegetables whole. "
“Apple Spas has recently become my favorite tomato. Ripe vegetables make delicious tomato juices, lecho and ketchup. Also suitable for salads. We ate fresh tomatoes all summer. It tastes juicy and sweet with an incredible aroma. In autumn, after harvesting, the green fruits managed to turn red, and the ripe vegetables did not spoil for a long time.

The Apple Spas tomato is a newcomer to our market. It appeared relatively recently, but has already managed to acquire dozens of admirers. All of them appreciate the beautiful appearance of tomatoes and their delicate balanced taste.

I grew the variety Apple saved a couple of years ago. I must say right away that if the greenhouse is not high, then the bushes will not fit, since the plants are very tall, I have grown more than two meters. She led tomatoes in two trunks. The bushes are very powerful, but not very spreading, one might say compact. Brushes are formed without gaps.

Galina

Once I grew the Apple Spas variety in a greenhouse. Of course, I would like to note the beautiful appearance of the tomato - all are even, evenly colored, ripen together. But it seemed to me tasteless to taste - no sweetness, no sourness. I decided to try to roll them into jars, so they all cracked.

I really like this variety "Apple Spas". For many years he has lived on my site. I grow in a greenhouse, lead in two stems, tie, naturally. They bloom early, the fruits are formed together, earlier than other varieties. On each bush, 8-10 brushes are formed. All of them are overgrown with small tomatoes, 80 grams each.

The fruits are all the same shape and size. I think in the conditions of a long and warm summer, which, unfortunately, is a utopia for us, tomatoes would form until mid-autumn. And so you have to remove the fruits in early September. Ripen well on the windowsill. Canning tomatoes, pickling, making lecho and juices. In general, these tomatoes are delivered to my stream. Households like their taste, although there are, of course, varieties with a richer taste.

Interesting types of tomatoes

An apple tomato variety that surprises, this is the amazing Emerald Apple tomato. These tomatoes resemble somewhat unripe apples with a rich green color. Reviews of gardeners about him are distinguished by delight and love. And not because the original shade attracts with its unusual appearance, but because it is a tasty and versatile hybrid to use. Interesting and tasty salads are obtained, the recipes of which include green tomatoes with red apples.

Cherry Tomatoes and Paradise Apple are small-fruited varieties, but they are incredibly popular. When you look at the tailed bush, it seems that this neat apple tree has spread its branches, completely drenched in tiny berries. A description of these varieties and their photos can be seen on the pages of tomato lovers who leave positive reviews, and it is impossible not to fall in love with them. Even the Siberian region finds an opportunity to purchase products that are especially popular with children. Children's meals can be prepared very colorfully if tiny tomatoes are combined with miniature apples.

Features of growing and care

Lipetsk Apple Tomato needs the same care as all other varieties of vegetable crops. To enjoy delicious tomatoes, as well as treat your neighbor to them, it is enough to include a number of simple manipulations in the to-do list. For normal growth, a culture needs:

  1. Watering. No plant will grow without water. However, if some crops need almost daily watering, then only one plentiful watering per week is enough for tomatoes. It is often not recommended to bring water under the crop, since due to high humidity, tomatoes suffer from fungal diseases, which are a great danger to the crop.
  2. Top dressing. In the first half of the growing season, plants are fed with nitrogen-containing fertilizers. Ammonium nitrate, nitrophoska or organic solutions are used as top dressing. During fruit setting, fertilizers are replaced with potassium-phosphorus mixtures, which contribute to the pouring and ripening of the fruit.
  3. Shaping and garter. According to the information included in the description of the species, you need to pinch off all the extra side shoots, leaving only 2 stems. Since large fruits strongly pull the brush down, which can cause it to break, the stems are attached to pegs or tied with twine.

Apple-tomato variety: 6 indicators

Recently, the Swiss gardener Markus Kobelt managed to get a new hybrid apple-tomato. Currently, there is an active work of breeders to develop new varieties, plant hybrids.

More than 20 years of active research and experimentation have been spent on this discovery.

First of all, in breeding, the goal is to obtain valuable varieties that are distinguished by high productivity, increased shelf life, resistance to various diseases and pests.

Recently Swiss gardener Markus Kobelt managed to get a new hybrid apple-tomato

Tomato and apple are unique fruits with excellent taste. However, the differences in their structure, forms and growing conditions practically exclude the idea of ​​the possibility of a hybrid between these plants.

Nevertheless, work is constantly underway. First, tomatoes were created, the variety of which is outwardly similar to apples: Siberian Apple and Apple Tomato. The fruits of these varieties have an external resemblance to apples (in shape), as well as a bright taste.

This tomato hybrid was obtained by Russian breeders. The Siberian apple tomato is a mid-season high-yielding tomato suitable for growing in a greenhouse and unprotected soil in the southern regions. Bushes of the indeterminate type reach 1.8 m in height, therefore it is necessary to carry out a garter of plants. Productivity - up to 8.5 kg per 1 m².

The advantages of this variety include:

  • high productivity;
  • excellent taste;
  • good disease resistance.

There were practically no shortcomings.

Fetal characteristics:

  • average weight 150 g;
  • in a state of technical ripeness, the fruits are pale pink in color;
  • sugariness and fleshy consistency, which is preserved during the entire storage period.

This tomato hybrid was obtained by Russian breeders. The Siberian apple tomato is a mid-season high-yielding tomato.

The cultivation technology is slightly different from other varieties of tomatoes.

The Heavenly apple tomato is planted both in the open field and in a film greenhouse. In many regions, climatic conditions are not suitable for growing tomatoes, since the fruits do not have time to ripen before the onset of fogs, after which the leaves and stems of the plant turn black. Many varieties do not tolerate high humidity, sharp temperature jumps, and prolonged absence of the sun.

Despite the fact that it is not easy to care for the Paradise apple, summer residents and farmers prefer this tall variety and appreciate:

  • for resistance to adverse weather;
  • for the taste of the fruit;
  • for early ripening of the crop.

Tomatoes do not crack during transportation, do not lose their attractiveness during a long journey. They contain more than 15% ascorbic acid. This vitamin strengthens the immune system, slows down the aging of cells, and helps to remove toxins from the body.

Description of the variety

The name speaks about the high taste of tomatoes. On the tall bushes of the Paradise apple, compact inflorescences are formed, on which, after 100 days, the first fruits ripen. They differ:

  • rounded shape;
  • smooth skin;
  • fleshy pulp;
  • pink or red.

One multi-chamber tomato weighs from 150 to 240 grams, but it is impossible to collect seeds, since there are practically no seeds in the fruits. Almost 4 kg of juicy tomatoes are removed from one plant in the garden.

In the greenhouse, they sing a little longer than in the garden, from all sides, illuminated by the sun. On the open ground, the bush rises up to 1.5 meters in height. The Paradise apple variety is tied to the supports and 2 stems are left.

Seeds, which can be bought in specialized stores, are placed in a solution of Fitosporin or potassium permanganate.

After 12 hours, they are sent to containers with a mixture of peat and sand, having previously fed the soil with urea and superphosphate.

The soil for growing tomatoes in the open-air garden is dug up in the fall, a little lime is added. In the spring they put organic matter. In the holes, poured with warm water, the culture is sent at the end of May, when frosts are no longer expected. The holes are covered with earth and compost. Trellises are installed nearby.

In order for tomatoes to give a good harvest, and up to 9 kg of sweetish fruits are harvested from 1 square meter, each bush must be fed at least 4 times per summer. The Paradise apple growing in the garden is watered twice a week, if it does not rain, they are moistened more often in the greenhouse.

When forming the ovary, the soil is fertilized. The painting is done when the brushes appear. To prevent the tomato from growing up, pinch the bush. After each watering, the soil should be loosened.

  • Disease resistance.
  • Ripening of the crop both under the film and in the garden.
  • Ease of care.
  • Attractive fruit appearance.
  • The taste of fresh tomatoes can be appreciated in a salad. A lot of aromatic and bright juice is obtained from them. These tomatoes are also suitable for canning. The Paradise apple cultivar is grown by farmers for sale, since the crop can be transported over long distances.

For faster and more friendly germination, it is necessary to use seed growth stimulants. You can use mineral fertilizers as top dressing. The pick occurs at the stage of formation of the third true leaf.

Landing in open ground begins after return frosts.

Correct planting will ensure good rooting and fast fruiting of plants.

  • It is necessary to transplant seedlings together with an earthen clod. Plants with bare roots take a long time to take root.
  • The support is installed in the prepared hole immediately upon landing. Otherwise, damage to the root system of an already planted plant occurs.
  • It is necessary to water the hole until the water stops leaving. Place a seedling in the resulting slurry.
  • After the slurry is slightly absorbed, cover with earth and slightly compact.
  • Apply a layer of mulch to prevent the soil from drying out and cracking.

No more than 3-4 bushes are planted per square meter. Thickening of the planting negatively affects the yield.

Tomato variety Adam's apple does not require special growing conditions. Its content is not particularly different from the care of other types of tomatoes. The main actions will be:

  • garter bush as it grows;
