Description of tomato Pride of Siberia
Description of the variety Pride
Such bushes are classified as determinant or, as they are also called, standard plant species. Their root system is strong enough, so they can be planted in open areas, but they are better suited for growing in a greenhouse. It is important to understand that the Pride of Siberia tomatoes belong to such a plant species as an early ripe variety. Therefore, from the first day of planting, about eighty-five or one hundred days should pass, and then you can already get the first fruits of the Pride of Siberia tomatoes.
The pride of Siberia has an excellent and strong immunity to the most common diseases that attack tomatoes. The main characteristics of the tomato:
- as soon as the fruits reach full maturity, they immediately turn red;
- shape - round, slightly flattened;
- the structure of the peel is tight, but inside is soft and tender;
- tomatoes that are ripe are large in size: on average, they can reach over 960 grams, although one fruit weighs about 740-860 grams;
- the total number of chambers is six to seven;
- contain six percent of dry matter;
- after harvest, the product is perfectly stored at home.
There is no great need to constantly monitor the variety. The most important thing is to water it on time and collect the fruits, as they can either fall to the ground or rot on a branch, which can further adversely affect the growth of future fruits.
Positive characteristics of the variety
According to reviews, almost every gardener responds only positively about the Pride of Siberia tomato. Sometimes there are negative reviews, but they are based on the fact that the tomato did not give the harvest that they expected. Positive sides:
- sufficiently high yield, with good and high-quality care;
- excellent characteristics of the taste of the fruit;
- 100% resistance to many diseases;
- large and beautiful tomatoes.
It is thanks to its excellent taste that this kind of tomato is perfect for making pasta and tomato juice out of them. And, of course, use them in their pure form. Also, the positive aspects of the species include excellent taste, as well as early maturity and size of the fruit. Sometimes, when the weather is very nice and hot, the bushes may mature several weeks earlier.
Negative points
The bush needs to be tied up with branches.
Among the negative sides, the weakness of the branches of the bush is distinguished, which is why they cannot always withstand the weight of the tomatoes and then they fall off or the branches break.To avoid this, you need to start tying them on the thirtieth day, or use other methods known to you, with which you can keep the branches in an upright position.
This variety is not suitable for canning. This is due to the fact that the fruits are large enough, so it will not be very convenient to carry out such a process. Also, sometimes they can bring a little crop, but this happens extremely rarely, so you can not be afraid if you properly care for the crop. This happens when people plant a lot of bushes on a small area of land.
Variety yield
The entire yield will depend on how you tend the bushes. If all the norms and standards of care are maintained, then you have a chance to get about 4-5 kg from one bush, and sometimes even more.
Many gardeners, from their own experience, advise planting about 4-5 bushes per 1 m². And then you can expect to get about 25-30 kg from these four bushes. Such an indicator for this type of varieties is very good. The most important thing gardeners emphasize is correct and regular care, although this is not at all difficult.
Plant care rules
It is necessary to understand that such plants can be grown in open areas, but it will be better if they are planted in greenhouses or greenhouses. Then you can get the highest yield percentages. You can find such a tomato in almost every point of the Russian Federation. In order to grow such tomatoes, open ground in the southern part of the country is perfect. Such as the North Caucasus, Krasnodar Territory - these areas are excellent for growing.
In order to get the highest yield percentage possible, it is recommended to leave only two stems. This can be achieved by pruning the bush. When pruning branches, be very careful not to hurt the fruit or cut off excess branches. During the period of rapid growth, it is necessary to give top dressing, which will contain potassium and phosphorus.
The main thing is to tie up the bushes in time. They don't need it all the time. Only when the fruits begin to ripen, and until the moment you pick them up. Then take a leave of the plant, to do this, untie the branches so that they can rest and normalize the flow of nutrients. In the photo you can see what this variety looks like.
Possible diseases and harmful insects
Despite the fact that plants have a fairly good and strong immunity, they can become infected with some types of diseases that are relatively rare, but still occur. According to the description of tomatoes, 9 percent out of a hundred can get sick with some kind of disease. This happens due to the fact that they were not looked after at all, but also planted in areas unnatural for yield.
The first disease that the Pride of Siberia can undermine is cracking of all the fruits that have grown on the bush. To remove such an unnecessary "effect", it is necessary to significantly reduce the watering of tomatoes, and add more fertilizers, which consist mostly of saltpeter.
According to experts, when tomatoes are grown in greenhouses, greenhouse whitefly disease occurs. To overcome this disease, use the drug "Confidor". You will need to place one milliliter per ten liters of water, then mix everything thoroughly and you can spray the bushes. This amount of water is enough for one hundred square meters.
If the bushes are in an open area, they can be attacked by wireworms. It is best to process the seeds even before planting, if this has not been done, then you can use various folk methods. Also, don't plant tomatoes next to potatoes. You can take small wooden twigs, string vegetables on them, and then bury in the place where the pests have accumulated.They will all run down to this stick in a few days, then take it and burn it.
The Siberian variety is an excellent cultivar for growing. With minimal effort, you will get a high yield percentage. The variety is perfect for all types of further "processing", as evidenced by the detailed description.
