Description of the Korean long-fruited tomato variety and cultivation features

The Korean long-fruited pepper tomato is a variety that is distinguished not only by its unusual fruit shape. Reviews from gardeners note its good taste and other wonderful qualities. But the plant also has its own care requirements.

General characteristics of tomato

Bushes of indeterminate type, tall. In a greenhouse, the vine reaches a height of 1.8-2 m, so it must be shaped and tied to a trellis. To get more fruits, it is recommended to grow the plant in 2-3 stems. The description of the variety given by vegetable growers focuses on the elegance of the bush and the delicacy of the foliage.

Fruiting is extended, tomatoes set during the summer. When growing in open ground, it is recommended to pinch the tips of the stems about 1 month before the onset of autumn frosts. The yield of the Korean long-fruited variety is estimated as high. Up to 10 clusters are formed on the stem with 4-7 rather large fruits in each. The total harvest from each plant can be about 8 kg of marketable products.

The Korean long-fruited variety is heat-loving; in an unfavorable season it can disappoint the vegetable grower if it grows in the open air. In a greenhouse, harvests are more stable. In hot weather, it is recommended to ventilate the room more often, since when the temperature is too high, the pollen of any plants becomes sterile, regardless of the variety.

The variety is immune to many fungal diseases, resistant to Alternaria and downy mildew, and in open ground it can suffer from late blight during the years of its mass distribution.

A disadvantage can be considered a high tendency to blossom end rot. To prevent the disease, the soil for Korean long-fruited tomatoes must be limed.

Features of the fruit

Tomato clusters of this variety consist of several large tomatoes weighing up to 200-300 g. The shape of the tomatoes is cylindrical, elongated, with a gradual narrowing towards the tip of the fruit. The narrow part forms a “nose”, which in some fruits gracefully bends to the side. Smaller fruits may be curved along their entire length, resembling a crescent moon or banana.

The skin is very dense, tomatoes are not prone to cracking and tolerate heat during canning well. They retain their marketable appearance for a long time even when stored ripe, and those picked at ripeness can be stored and ripened for 2 weeks at room conditions. The color of the skin of the fruit at technical ripeness is light green, with a darker shade at the base, but when ripe the fruit is evenly colored and acquires a beautiful crimson-pink color. In open ground, sometimes greenish zones remain on the shoulders and at the stalk.

The pulp is a rich pink hue, delicate consistency when ripe and denser when slightly unripe. The peculiarity of the variety is the almost complete absence of seeds. The structure of the fruit is fleshy, and the chambers may not be visible in the pulp, especially closer to the base. Characteristics of the taste merits indicate the increased sugar content of Korean long-fruited tomatoes. Tomatoes are sweet, without sourness or with a slight sourish tint in taste. The aroma is classic.

The main purpose is fresh consumption. Delicious and bright tomatoes will successfully complement any salad with vegetables. The unusual pulp without chambers with seeds will decorate not only slices, but also sandwiches or gourmet snacks. Tomatoes with a sweet taste can be included in gazpacho, Italian sauces, Asian and Caucasian dishes. They don’t color dishes too well, so it’s better to put another variety of tomatoes in borscht or kharcho.

Korean long-fruited fruits can be used to make beautiful marinades or pickles. But most of the fruits are too large for this, although they can be processed into juice. The product will taste good, and the high content of lycopene and vitamins in the fruits will make it very healthy. By boiling the pulp, the housewife can prepare a sweetish filling for lecho and tomato appetizers.

Agricultural technology of Korean tomatoes

It is customary to sow such tomatoes for seedlings about 2 months before transplanting them to a permanent place.

Your information about the Korean long-fruited tomato and additions to the description will help many gardeners evaluate this variety more objectively and decide whether it is worth planting or not.

The best sweet varieties of large-fruited tomatoes (including):

Most of the sweet large-fruited varieties are bred using special selective methods and are hybrids. There is nothing wrong! On the contrary, it’s good, because such tomatoes are more adapted to the climatic conditions of a certain region of the country, are resistant to viral pathogens and have excellent taste and size qualities.

One of the most famous breeders is, whose specialists strive to develop the most tasty and sweet varieties that can grow even in Siberian conditions.

Typically, large hybrid varieties produce tomatoes weighing from 300 grams to half a kilogram.

However, there are also giant non-hybrid tomatoes, the weight of which can reach a kilogram.

Perhaps the most famous large sweet fruits, time-tested, are the following varieties:

“Bull's heart” is the name of the tomato for good reason, because it actually reaches the size of the heart of a large large-horned domestic animal. Not only does a large tomato weigh about 600 grams on average, but it is also distinguished by its excellent taste, juicy pulp and original decorative appearance, reminiscent of a heart. Usually one tomato is enough to chop a whole cup of aromatic and very tasty salad. These giants grow on almost one and a half meter spreading bushes with a powerful upright crown, and at almost all latitudes of the Russian Federation.

“Russian size F1” is a late-ripening hybrid variety of flat-round, smooth tomatoes, the average weight of which is 600 grams. There are often cases when, in Siberian greenhouse conditions or on open ground in the southern zone of Russia, the maximum weight of one giant tomato can reach almost 3 kilograms. It is distinguished by its extraordinary meatiness, aroma and sweet taste. One of its features is indeterminateness, i.e. plant growth is unlimited. Be sure to plant seedlings, pinching and pinching so that the fruits are large. Since this is a hybrid, it guarantees that the plant will be resistant to tobacco mosaic and will not be susceptible to cladosporiosis and fusarium.

“Sibiryak F1” is also a late-ripening hybrid tomato, somewhat similar in appearance and characteristics to “Russian size”, but brighter in color and juicier in taste. For this variety, it is best to form a single-stem trunk so that the inflorescences are formed above every third leaf. Its entire weight varies from 400 grams to 2.5 kilograms.

It is impossible not to mention the mid-early variety "Pudovik" , which is widespread throughout Russia. Summer residents love it for the abundance of beautiful clusters with two-hundred-gram tomatoes. Very often tomatoes grow up to 1 kilogram. Although the bush turns out to be quite tall - more than one and a half meters, if properly tied, on the contrary, it will be very convenient to care for and water. The minimum yield from one bush is usually from 5 kilograms. The only disadvantage of this variety is the very delicate peel, which can crack due to excess moisture.

No less popular is the Tolstoy , which has been used by summer residents for planting in open ground for more than a quarter of a century. The high-yielding meter-long bush copes well with the attack of powdery mildew and fusarium. Another advantage is that there is no need to carry out stepsoning. The fruits weigh on average 250 grams and with proper care you can harvest up to 12 kilograms from one bush.

When buying seeds, you should definitely pay attention to one very important point, which is always indicated on the packaging - under what growing conditions they are most suitable. After all, if a manufacturing company says that greenhouse conditions are best suited, then, undoubtedly, this is so, especially for Siberia.
