What are non-sticky tomato varieties
Bushes of common varieties of tomatoes prefer to grow in breadth without increasing in growth. This is largely due to the growth of stepchildren on the stems. These shoots draw additional juices from the plant, reducing future yield and weakening the bush. Stepsons should be removed at the stage of tomato formation. If you remove ordinary leaves instead of stepchildren, the plant will only weaken more, so pinching requires some knowledge and care.
If tomatoes are grown that do not require pinching, the bushes do not need to remove unnecessary shoots. In some varieties, some of the branches are removed to increase the yield, but this is not necessary. All varieties of this type have one thing in common: they belong to undersized varieties of tomatoes. Their fruits are large, and the bushes do not grow in all directions. But even undersized unsaturated tomatoes need a timely garter.
When choosing the best varieties for planting, it is worth deciding on the desired variety. Here it is necessary to take into account the early maturity, yield, disease resistance and the soil necessary for growth. There are varieties designed specifically for greenhouse and outdoor planting. The purchase of the selected variety must also be approached wisely. It is advisable to find out which variety is suitable for a given climate, consult with experienced gardeners and only then buy seeds for planting.
The main varieties of unsaturated tomatoes
Before buying, you need to familiarize yourself with the list of the main varieties that do not require pinching.
