Characteristics and description of the tomato variety Raspberry Miracle, its yield
One of the most famous varieties is the Golden Raspberry Miracle tomato. Their popularity is due to the unique bright color of ripe fruits, soft structure, huge size and excellent taste.
The undeniable advantages of this complex are noted not only by numerous reviews from summer residents, but also by representatives of the Russian agro-industrial exhibition, who awarded the variety a gold medal. It was this fact that served as the beginning of the development of several series of tomatoes, each of which has its own individual characteristics.
Characteristics
The unique qualities of the Raspberry Miracle tomato variety have aroused unprecedented interest among breeders. During their long work, several hybrids were developed, each of which eliminated all the significant and minor shortcomings of previous representatives.
Today, 15 varieties included in this collection have been recorded, which are divided into three series: each has individual external, taste, and yield characteristics.
First episode
The first series includes 5 hybrids:
- Bright robin is an early ripening hybrid that produces a harvest 90 - 100 days after planting. It is unpretentious and has a high yield: on average, 15 kilograms of vegetables are harvested from 1 square meter. Tomatoes, with an average weight of 550 g, are characterized by an interesting taste, compared by many summer residents with a ripe watermelon.
- Crimson Sunset is a mid-early hybrid. The first harvest can be obtained after 90 - 110 days from the moment the seedlings are transplanted into the ground. Ripe vegetables are characterized by a round shape and an average weight of 400 - 700 g. Almost all tomatoes ripen at the same time. The skin has a bright shade, similar to the pink of the berry of the same name, and the pulp has a rich sweetish taste. It is characterized by tall growth: in a greenhouse, the bush can grow up to 200 centimeters. The hybrid was launched in 2008. During this time, I managed to receive high marks and positive reviews from gardeners for my productivity: on average, from 1 square meter of plantings you can harvest 14 - 18 kilograms of vegetables. Another advantage is resistance to diseases, with the exception of blossom end rot. There is also a drawback: the bush is very capricious and requires proper watering, lighting and temperature conditions.
- Raspberry berry is a variety distinguished by medium-sized vegetables, the average weight of which ranges from 300 to 500 g. A ripe tomato has a bright color and juicy pulp. It is used for growing crops not only in greenhouse conditions, but also in open ground. The hybrid is demanding on certain watering and lighting conditions.
- The creation of Raspberry wine, which is also called a miracle, dates back to 2009. The Raspberry Miracle tomato harvest ripens 107 days after transplanting into the ground. Ripe fruits are round in shape and pink in color. Their average weight is 300 g. The harvested crop can be transported over long distances and stored until winter.
- The Raspberry Paradise variety allows you to grow tomatoes with a sweetish fruity flavor. This crop is early ripening: the average ripening period is 90 days. In greenhouse conditions, the bush can grow up to 2 meters in height. The average weight is 550 grams, the fruit is round in shape with characteristic ribbing in the area of the stalk.
Each variety described is popular among gardeners.
Second series
The description of the Raspberry Miracle tomato also talks about the characteristics of the components of the 2nd series of tomatoes:
- The raspberry king is distinguished by fruits that have a fleshy, juicy pulp that protects the dense skin from cracking, weighing 400 grams. This species is distinguished by its rounded, flattened, ribbed shape of tomatoes, which ripen 90–110 days after planting the seedlings.
- Raspberry joy bears fruit with tomatoes, the average weight of which is 225 grams. The crop is distinguished by its sugary pulp and delicate structure. The bush forms large clusters: after the first harvest has been harvested from planting, intensive mass growth begins on the remaining clusters. Fruiting continues until the onset of cold weather.
- Raspberry dream is distinguished by its unpretentiousness to weather conditions: the ovary can appear not only in sunny periods, but also during rainy periods. The average fruit weight is 600 grams. Tomatoes are distinguished by their bright color and excellent taste. This variety belongs to the group of early-ripening tomatoes, as it produces a harvest 90 days after planting.
- Raspberry bison is distinguished by the spherical shape of its fruits, which have a bright pink tint. Reviews from summer residents note that the average weight of the fetus is somewhere in the range of 0.5 kilos. The clusters are densely covered with fruits, so the description of the variety states that the tomato produces a high yield if a small plot of land is used for planting.
- Raspberry desirable. The main distinguishing feature of the bush is its thick foliage, which creates an active contrast with ripe tomatoes. Such a plant is often planted to decorate a summer cottage. The harvest ripens 95 days after planting the plant in a greenhouse or open ground. The average weight of a vegetable is 600 grams.
Tomatoes Raspberry Miracle 2 series are distinguished by a limited height: any of the representatives of this group can grow up to 90 - 100 centimeters. These tomatoes produce large fruits that are not suitable for whole canning.

- Raspberry bogatyr is a high-yielding hybrid, characterized by a weight of ripening fruits of 0.6 - 0.8 kilos. This variety is easy to care for and ripens at any temperature. Reviews from gardeners agree on one thing: these tomatoes look like large raspberries. Another positive characteristic is early ripeness: the first harvest is harvested 90 days after planting the seedlings.
- Raspberry heart has the following features: high yield obtained from small bushes 60 - 80 centimeters high, an average ripening period of 90 days, heart-shaped tomatoes with sugar pulp and a weight of 250 grams. Most often, such vegetables are used by gardeners for canning.

You can get the first harvest 95 days after planting the plant. Growing this variety allows you to get 400 grams of fleshy, juicy vegetables that have a round, flattened shape;
- Raspberry popsicle. Tomato seeds of this variety and the grown crop are characterized by unpretentiousness to weather conditions and tolerate prolonged rainfall and cold weather well. The average weight of tomatoes reaches 0.4 kilos, their ripening period is 80 - 105 days. The fruits are distinguished by their bright color and elongated shape.
Tomato seeds Raspberry miracle 3 series have a long shelf life: they retain their ability to germinate for 15 years.
This tomato complex was developed at the Scientific Institute located in Chelyabinsk. An interesting feature of the series is its unpretentiousness to weather conditions, the impressive mass of ripened fruits, their taste, meatiness, and interesting appearance. The disadvantages of the complex include average resistance to brown, brown spot, and blossom end rot. Grown bushes are often attacked by root-knot nematodes, whiteflies, and spider mites.
To avoid the appearance of the described diseases and pests, seedlings must be planted only in disinfected soil. It is necessary to regularly inspect the bushes for damage to fruits and greenery, and if necessary, immediately carry out treatment.

Obtaining seedlings
Raspberry miracle tomatoes are suitable for growing in greenhouse conditions. Their seeds are first germinated at home. When the air and soil warm up and the seedlings become strong enough, they are transferred to a permanent place.
Planting seeds
Tomato seeds are planted in February or March, depending on the growing region. Prepare the soil in advance, which includes soil and humus. An alternative option is to use peat cups or purchased soil.
The soil from the garden plot is heated in the microwave to disinfect it. You can start planting 14 days after such treatment.
Advice! Tomato seeds are soaked for a day in warm water to stimulate their germination.
If the planting material is covered with a bright shell, then no additional processing is required. This shell includes a complex of nutrients that promote the germination of tomatoes.
The prepared soil is filled into containers, the height of which should be 12-15 cm. Seeds are placed on top with an interval of 2.5 cm. They are covered with a layer of peat or soil 1.5 cm thick.
Tomatoes germinate fastest at ambient temperatures above 25 degrees. Another condition is to place the boxes in a dark place. The top of the container should be covered with glass or plastic wrap.
Seedling care
For the development of Raspberry Miracle seedlings, certain conditions are provided:
- air temperature during the day is 20-25°C, at night – not lower than 10°C;
- regular ventilation;
- adding moisture;
- lighting for half a day;
- no drafts.
Tomato seedlings are watered with warm water. It is best to use settled or melt water. As the soil dries, water it with a spray bottle, being careful not to touch the plants.
If the tomatoes were planted in boxes, then when 2-3 leaves develop, they are picked into separate cups. The procedure can be avoided if the plants are already in separate containers.
Important! Fertilizing tomatoes with Raspberry Miracle is necessary if the plants look depressed and develop slowly. Then prepare a Nitrophoska solution, which is used to water the tomatoes.
2 weeks before transferring the tomatoes to the greenhouse or garden bed, they begin to harden. Containers with seedlings are moved to the balcony or loggia. They are provided with access to fresh air for 2 hours. Gradually this period of time is increased.
Planting tomatoes
Tomato varieties are replanted 2 months after seed germination. Such seedlings have a height of about 30 cm and 5-6 fully formed leaves.
The place for planting tomatoes is chosen in the fall. Preference is given to areas where cucumbers, root crops, melons and legumes grew throughout the year. It is not recommended to plant in beds where any varieties of tomatoes, peppers, or eggplants grew.
In a greenhouse, the top layer of soil in which fungal spores and pests accumulate must be replaced. The soil is dug up and fertilized with rotted manure or compost.
Advice! Raspberry miracle tomatoes are placed on the beds in increments of 40 cm. When organizing several rows, a gap of 50 cm is left.
It is recommended to place tomatoes in a checkerboard pattern. This simplifies planting care and harvesting, and the plants receive more sunlight.
Holes are prepared in the beds to suit the size of the tomato root system. Plants are transferred with a ball of earth. Then the roots of the tomatoes are covered with soil, which is compacted and watered abundantly.
Variety care
Raspberry miracle tomatoes produce a high yield with proper care. Plants need watering and fertilizing. The soil under the plants is loosened and mulched with straw or peat. Plants are regularly pruned to improve their fruiting.
Watering tomatoes
Regular watering of tomatoes is carried out a week after planting. During this time, the plants will have time to grow stronger and adapt to new conditions.
The watering scheme for tomatoes is as follows:
- until the ovaries form, the plants are watered weekly, and 4 liters of water are used per bush;
- During fruiting, moisture is applied 2 times a week in the amount of 3 liters per plant.
For tomatoes, less frequent but abundant watering is preferable. When there is a lack of moisture, the top leaves of tomatoes begin to curl. The intensity of watering is reduced during fruiting of tomatoes to avoid cracking of the fruit.
Tomatoes in closed ground or open areas are watered with warm water. The barrels are first filled with it and left to bask in the sun. Moisture is applied under the roots of tomatoes in the morning or evening.
Plant nutrition
According to reviews from gardeners, the Raspberry Miracle tomato stands out for its abundant fruiting. Fruit formation is ensured by regular feeding. Fertilizers are applied 3-4 times during the season.
The first feeding is carried out 3 weeks after transferring the seedlings to a permanent place. Plants are treated with complex fertilizer Nitrofoska. For a large bucket of water, 1 tbsp is enough. l. drug. The solution is applied under the bush when watering tomatoes.
Important! For the second feeding, prepare a solution based on superphosphate and potassium salt (20 g of each component per bucket of water).
There is a gap of 2-3 weeks between treatments. An alternative to mineral fertilizers is wood ash, which contains a complex of useful substances.
Bush formation
According to their characteristics and description, the Raspberry Miracle tomato variety is tall. Their formation allows the tomatoes to direct their forces to fruiting.
Every week, shoots growing from the leaf axils are pinched from the bushes. The procedure is carried out weekly. As a result, tomatoes are formed into one or two stems.
Protection from diseases
Raspberry miracle tomatoes are resistant to diseases. With rationing watering and proper formation of the bush, the likelihood of developing diseases is reduced. For prevention, plants are treated with fungicides.
Tomatoes attract aphids, whiteflies, mole crickets and other pests. Insecticides or folk remedies in the form of tobacco dust, wood ash, infusion of onion peels or garlic are used against insects.
Diseases and pests
The most likely disease of this variety is tomato blossom end rot. They fight against it by reducing the nitrogen content in the soil while adding calcium. Also effective measures would be to increase soil moisture and spray the affected plants with a solution of calcium nitrate. Plants are often affected by brown spot. To prevent and treat it, it is necessary to reduce watering and adjust the temperature, regularly ventilating the greenhouse.
The variety is resistant to fusarium, verticillium, alternaria and other typical diseases of nightshades in greenhouses. However, it is impossible to do without preventive measures. Before planting, it is recommended to disinfect the soil with a hot solution of potassium permanganate. Other methods of combating diseases can be used.
Young tomatoes are regularly sprayed with phytosporin or another non-toxic drug with an antifungal effect to prevent late blight.

For several years now, tomatoes from the Raspberry Miracle series have been planted without fail. The seedlings always sprout together and do not get sick. Even in cold summer conditions and constant dampness, tomatoes grow quickly and do not get sick. The fruits do not ripen at the same time, so they need to be picked periodically. All fruits are smooth, beautiful and very tasty. The largest tomato weighed 600 g.
