American ribbed tomato: description and advantages of the variety, growing rules

Growing and care

2 months before transplanting, sow seeds for seedlings.
After 2 medium-sized leaves have appeared, you can replant the plant in fresh soil. If the shape of the bush should be in 2-3 branches, then there should be 3 seedlings per 1 m², if there should be 4 seedlings per 1 branch. Next comes weeding and timely watering, as when growing other plants. If the climate is characterized by thunderstorms or strong winds, then you need to use supports for the trunk and branches. Soil characteristics for the growth of American ribbed tomato variety:

after growing cucumbers, parsley, zucchini, cabbage, carrots;
rich in potassium and nitrogen;
prepare in the fall by adding ashes, shells and compost;
warm up before planting.

When caring, do not forget to remove unnecessary shoots and excess leaves from the side of the plant. This helps strengthen the strength to bear new fruits, access to open sunlight and fresh air.

The fruits need to be collected when the skin has become a rich yellow or red color and gives a shine. If there is a need to pick fruits ahead of time, then they need to be stored in a special way. Do not put in the refrigerator: ripening stops, the taste of the ribbed fruit becomes less pronounced. It should be stored together with apples and bananas. Paper bags are a good option.

Features of cultivation

This variety cannot boast of high productivity, but it is quite possible to get up to 12 kg of tomatoes from one square meter, if, of course, you follow all the growing recommendations. First of all, there should not be more than 3-4 bushes on the specified plot size, otherwise they will be crowded and there simply won’t be enough nutrients from the soil for everyone.

There is no need to flood the beds. Tomatoes of the “Ribbed” variety are resistant to lack of moisture, but feeding methods must be thought out in advance. Many breeders argue that if the soil is sufficiently fertile and neutral, you can do without this procedure altogether. Tomatoes of this variety are capricious to any intervention and do not react positively to all substances introduced into the soil.

A disadvantage of the American Ribbed tomato variety is cracking of the fruits. It is rarely possible to collect them evenly and densely. When growing, constant pest control should be carried out. First of all, you need to take measures against spider mites. It's easy to do. You just need to regularly spray the plants themselves and the soil around them with a strong soap solution.

“Florentine ribbed” tomato is also available for sale. These are the same tomatoes, just the names were registered by different people and at different times. Remember, we indicated above that breeding was carried out by amateurs. Otherwise there are no differences, even the photos are absolutely the same.

There are varieties of the ribbed variety. They lie in the color of the fruit. Red, yellow and pink tomatoes are grown using the same technology, but yellow ones have a clear advantage. Firstly, it can be used as food by allergy sufferers and small children, and secondly, it has an even more original and attractive appearance that will decorate any garden plot.

Transplantation into open ground

Before transplanting seedlings, well, cover the soil with film for several days. Thus, the beloved will warm up, and the tomatoes will begin to grow much faster in open ground.

Before planting, the stem must be slightly deepened. During rapid growth, tomatoes form additional roots. The more soil participates in the formation of the root system, the more complete the enrichment with nitrogen. And also during dry periods, the plant will better absorb water from the soil.

If the stems are too long, they can be partially placed in a previously prepared groove. The fucking way helps the plant increase its root system, which will improve the homogamy of the fruits.

Diseases and pests

"American ribbed" often suffers from fruit cracking.
This scourge is easy to deal with, you just need to reduce the humidity in the environment. Tattu or Antrakol are successfully used against diseases such as dry spotting. Against other types of diseases, only prevention is required, watering and lighting regimes, timely application of fertilizers; these measures will protect your tomato from all troubles. Read about tomatoes that are completely resistant to late blight here.

Of the pests, the most frequently attacked is the gnawing cutworm. This happens both in greenhouse shelters and in open ground. There is a reliable remedy against it, the drug “Strela”. To prevent the pest from becoming an uninvited guest again next year, you need to thoroughly weed the soil in the fall, collect insect larvae and thoroughly spray them with “Strela.”

May also be attacked by spider mites. To combat this pest, use a strong soap solution, which is used to wipe the areas of the plant that have been affected by the insect. By washing them away and creating an environment unsuitable for their life. This will not cause any harm to the plant.

Pest Control

The most common pests of the ribbed fruit are the gnawing cutworm and the spider mite. A regular soap solution prepared at home will help you deal with them. Chemicals will also repel pests from tomatoes. You need to remember a few rules that will help preserve the plant:

do not plant near potatoes or in the place of their previous growth;
weeding;
poison pests only on dry plants;
prevent the spread of the disease to other plants, remove infected or diseased bushes.

Tomatoes have a very interesting shape - highly ribbed, flat-round or “bast” shaped, red in color at maturity, up to 300-600 grams. The taste is good, tomato. These tomatoes are suitable for fresh consumption, making juice and sauces. They look very beautiful when cut. The last fruits at the top of the plant are slightly smaller - they are also suitable for whole-fruit preservation.

Features of growing American ribbed tomatoes, planting and care

We recommend sowing seeds for seedlings 65-70 days before the intended planting in the ground. Picking - at the stage of 2 true leaves. When transplanting seedlings to a permanent place, 1 sq. m it is recommended to plant up to 3 plants, when forming into 1 trunk - up to 4. Planting pattern: 50 x 40 cm.

Further care for tomatoes consists of timely watering, weed removal, fertilizing, pinching and preventive measures to protect the crop from diseases and pests.

The variety is resistant to major tomato diseases.

If you grew American ribbed tomatoes, please write whether you liked them or not. What was the yield and taste of fruits in your climatic conditions? How do you rate the disease resistance of this tomato? Briefly describe the advantages and disadvantages of this tomato in your opinion. If possible, attach to your review a photo of the entire bush or individual fruits you grew. Thank you!

How to care for seedlings?

After planting, it is necessary to cover the pot with film or cover it with glass. This is necessary in order to create greenhouse conditions inside the flowerpot for the fastest germination of sprouts. Place the container with the planted seeds in a warm room with good lighting. The optimal temperature should not be lower than +22..+25 C. Otherwise, the seedlings will take longer to germinate through the soil.

Until the first timid shoots appear, it is necessary to periodically ventilate the mini-greenhouse by slightly opening the film or removing the glass. The procedure should take no longer than 15-20 minutes. Watering is carried out as necessary. Under favorable conditions, timid shoots appear 5-7 days after planting. After this, the film or glass is removed from the plants. If left, the disease blackleg may appear on young seedlings, completely destroying the plant.

If there is not enough sunlight, then it is necessary to supplement the plantings with special phytolamps.

To do this, you should hang special lamps 10-12 cm above the flowerpot. As the seedlings grow, the lamp rises higher accordingly, so as not to provoke the development of a burn on delicate leaf plates. As they grow, so that the seedlings do not stretch out or fall over on one side, the pot is periodically turned with the other side towards the sunlight. Watering is carried out as needed. It is recommended to apply nutritious moisture at the root, so that water does not get on the delicate petals. Water for irrigation should be used that has been specially settled, not cold, so that its temperature is slightly higher than or at room temperature.

Fertilizing can be introduced if the soil for seedlings was not fertile, without the required amount of nutrients. Before applying organic fertilizer, you should carefully inspect the seedlings. If it is strong and powerful, then there is no need to fertilize it additionally. Otherwise, if the sprouts do not look healthy, be sure to feed them fully. When the American ribbed tomato has 3-4 full-fledged leaves, the seedlings must be replanted - planted in separate flowerpots. When transplanting a bush to a new place of residence, its rhizomes are slightly trimmed. This is necessary so that the root system is powerful and develops even more.

Characteristics and care features of the American ribbed tomato

There are people for whom the most important criterion when choosing vegetables is their taste. But for others, attractive appearance is also important. The American ribbed tomato pleases the eye not only of aesthete shoppers on the kitchen table, but also of farmers in their gardens under the sun.

Fruit characteristics

Ribbed tomatoes are a representative variety of the determinate standard type. The stem grows up to 1.5 m, there are no branches. After the seedlings are planted in the ground, the first harvest can be harvested in approximately 125 days: the variety is classified as mid-late.

The peculiarity of these tomatoes lies in their appearance. The shape is flattened in the center, and oblong vertical segments are noticeable on the sides. It is not surprising that another name for this variety among connoisseurs is chrysanthemum, because the fruit really looks like a flower due to its ribbed surface.

The average weight of American ribbed tomatoes is about 150 - 200 g, differing by half from the weight of the very first fruits, which reach about 400 g. If you properly care for the plant, one bush can produce up to 3 kg of tomatoes. There are red, brown, yellow colors.

After harvesting, they do not last long because they have a thin skin. They spoil quickly. You need to quickly prepare a salad, sandwiches or other dish. Great for making ketchup.

According to reviews, opinions on taste are divided. Some argue that the tomato is the most ordinary, no different from other varieties. To counterbalance them, they say that the taste of a ribbed tomato is more rich and not watery. This depends on the quality of the original crop and care taken during cultivation.

Growing and care

2 months before transplanting, sow seeds for seedlings. After 2 medium-sized leaves have appeared, you can replant the plant in fresh soil. If the shape of the bush should be in 2-3 branches, then there should be 3 seedlings per 1 m², if there should be 4 seedlings per 1 branch. Next comes weeding and timely watering, as when growing other plants. If the climate is characterized by thunderstorms or strong winds, then you need to use supports for the trunk and branches.

Soil characteristics for the growth of American ribbed tomato variety:

When caring, do not forget to remove unnecessary shoots and excess leaves from the side of the plant. This helps strengthen the strength to bear new fruits, access to open sunlight and fresh air.

Diseases and pests

The most common pests of American fruit are:

spider mite;
gnawing owl.

A concentrated soap solution or other homemade products work well with them. Special chemicals, which are sold in stores, also have positive characteristics in the fight against parasites.

Simple rules, the implementation of which will help preserve the plant:

Pests should only be poisoned on a dry bush.
If the plant is infected, get rid of it immediately, don’t regret it!
Do not plant near potatoes.
Systematically weed.

Other types

There are many other ribbed varieties with selections from different countries.

Among them, for example:

Cuban chokeberry;
Accordion orange;
Japanese yellow crab;
Starfish;
Lorraine beauty red;
Purple pumpkin;
Puzata hut;
Charlie Chaplin;
The heart is grooved;
Italian-American Goldman;
Garlic.

The most famous and beloved among gardeners are beefsteak and Florentine rib. The first ones have American roots. The fruit is very fleshy (hence the name), weight can be in the range of 0.5 - 1 kg. Great for fried meat, sandwiches, stuffing.

Florentine beauty belongs to the exotic varieties. Bright yellow in color, fruit up to 500 g, although some manage to grow more. The taste, as described by people, has a honeyed, fruity hue, vaguely reminiscent of apricot, peach or sweet melon.

Few seeds inside the pulp. Bushes, as a rule, produce a large harvest.

Advantages and disadvantages

Pros:

unusual appearance of the fruit;
does not require frequent watering;
taste qualities;
resistant to standard tomato diseases;
high level of resistance to parasites.

Minuses:

average yields;
capricious to many feedings;
susceptible to fruit cracking when exposed to excess moisture;
requires tying to a support and pinching;
not suitable for transportation and long-term storage.

The top fruits are slightly smaller than the rest, so they can be used for whole-fruit preservation. Other tomatoes are not suitable for these purposes due to their size and shape.

American ribbed is a variety bred by amateur breeders. He received his first recognition in the 1980s. Its color can vary in different colors - pink, yellow, orange, brown or traditionally red.

We suggest you read: What are the benefits of a wasp sting for humans?

The variety is determinate, stopping growth after the completion of the formation of fruits on the clusters. Refers to the standard species. It has limited growth parameters - up to 1.6-1.7 meters in height, provided it is in greenhouse conditions and up to 1 m in an open area. The ripening speed of large fruits is average. Harvesting is carried out 115-125 days after the appearance of the first shoots.

The rest is deleted. In addition, when planting, you should immediately install a support and tie it up as it grows. To obtain gigantic fruit sizes, it is recommended to remove excess sprouts and form only 1 stem. The fruits have a specific appearance. When fully ripe, the variety has a flattened shape and large, convex, rounded ribs. The taste characteristics are bright, do not deviate from the norms of tomato taste, and do not have a pronounced or sweet aftertaste.

The standard weight of one ripe fruit is on average about 170-200 grams. When first picked from a bush, tomatoes can reach up to 350-400 grams. every. When cut, the inside of the fruit is divided into ribs, at least 7 chambers, which contain about 6% of the dry structure, the rest is pulp and juice. Fully ripened fruits are recommended to be eaten after harvest in the form of salads or slices, or preserved for the winter. These fruits are not suitable for long-term storage.

The American ribbed tomato has some advantages over other varieties:

It is distinguished by its original appearance and shape of the tomato.
It has a classic aroma and a juicy, rich taste.
It has high protective properties against pests and various diseases.
Not capricious, does not require constant addition of nutritious moisture.

But the disadvantages of the variety are its pickiness in terms of constant feeding and low yield if the soil in which the tomato grows is not fertile and is not fed in a timely manner.

Delicious meaty tomatoes

The ribbed tomato has a whole arsenal of positive qualities:

original and unique appearance of the fruit
excellent taste and aroma characteristics
resistance to diseases.

Disadvantages: the crop requires additional fertilizing; overripe fruits lose their taste.

Varietal features

The American ribbed tomato variety can be indeterminate or determinate. In open ground the bush reaches 100-120 cm, in a greenhouse - 150-170 cm (usually it is medium-sized, but in some cases it grows up to 200 cm and higher). The peculiarity of the tomato is its pronounced ribbing, thanks to which the fruit looks like a flower. When sliced, the fruits look simply magnificent; they will decorate any table.

The weight of one tomato is from 250 to 500 g. They come in red, crimson, brown, yellow or orange.

The skin is thin, the flesh is dense and juicy. Tomatoes have a classic tomato taste and aroma.

Productivity

The variety produces not too high, but quite decent yields. 4-6 kg are usually collected from one bush. To increase these indicators, the bush is formed into 1 stem, carefully looked after and given additional feeding.

Spreading

The American ribbed variety is recommended for the southern regions and the middle zone: in the south, tomatoes can be grown in open ground, but in the middle zone it is better to plant them in a greenhouse.

According to the description, in warm and sunny summers, tomatoes grow well in open ground under film cover.

American Ribbed, like almost all tomatoes, is grown by seedlings. In order to avoid annoying mistakes, you need to know agricultural technology and a description of the processes of sowing seeds and subsequent care of sprouts. First, two months before planting seedlings in the ground, containers are prepared - nurseries, substrate and seeds.

Containers with transparent lids, pots and various containers that can be covered with glass or film are suitable for nurseries. The soil is purchased specially or, as is more often the case, they are prepared themselves. To do this take:

garden soil;
wood ash;
fine sand, but without dust;
well-rotted mullein.

The plant needs staking

To stimulate growth, you can add aloe juice to the solution. After 8 hours they are washed and slightly dried.

A shallow drainage is placed at the bottom of the containers, onto which soil is poured in a layer of about 10 cm and leveled. Seeds are laid on the surface and sprinkled with soil up to 1 cm high. Then they spray it with a spray bottle, cover it with lids or plastic wrap and put it on to germinate. The temperature in the nurseries should be: during the day - 25 degrees Celsius, and at night - not lower than 16 degrees.

After the second pair of leaves appears, the seedlings dive. In order for young plants to better tolerate transplantation, they are sprayed with a solution of boric acid. After this, caring for the sprouts comes down to watering and ventilation. Plants stay in containers for about 70 days.

If you plan to plant the American Ribbed Tomato in open ground, then the seedlings must be hardened off. To do this, a couple of weeks before planting, take the containers out into the fresh air and open the lids for half an hour on the first day. Exposure to the sun is increased by 1 hour every day.

On the site or in the greenhouse, holes are marked so that per 1 sq.m. 3 plants were planted, when the bushes were formed into 2 stems and 4 sprouts, when formed into 1 stem. It is advisable to install a strong support near each hole for tying clusters of fruit. As they grow, they have a lot of weight and can, under their weight, either break off and fall, or completely break the bush.

Timely watering to prevent the soil from drying out.
Weeding and loosening the soil between plants and rows.
Pest protection.
Fertilizing tomatoes.
Prevention of diseases and treatment of plants.

Tomatoes should be watered only at the roots, avoiding water getting on the leaves and fruits, which can lead to diseases. Even if no weeds are observed, loosening is necessary because it allows air access to the rhizome area.

Subsequent treatments can be carried out no earlier than 14 days. Chemicals and organic matter are used to fertilize tomatoes.

Among the features of tomatoes of this type, it is worth mentioning the appearance of the fruits; they are very beautiful. Another feature is resistance to diseases inherent in tomatoes grown in greenhouses. Although it doesn’t hurt to know about measures to combat them and you can read about it here.

general description

There is no exact data on when the tomato was created, but it has become in demand and gained popularity since the 80s of the last century.
The fruits of this variety have an unusual shape - they have many ribs. At the same time, tomatoes cannot be called giants, as is often the case among fruits with many ribs. The tomato looks especially interesting when it is cut into rings. The variety cannot be called very productive, but it definitely cannot be classified as unproductive. The advantages of the variety are not only its ribbed shape, but also its good disease resistance, unpretentiousness and tolerance to moisture deficiencies. Best suited for growing in southern regions. In all other cases, it is recommended to plant the bushes in a greenhouse or in film greenhouses. So, let's take a closer look at the variety and its indicators.

American ribbed tomato. Characteristics and description of the variety

Belongs to determinant species. Standard bushes.
The variety has a medium-late ripening period. So, you can harvest the first harvest of beautiful ribbed tomatoes 115-125 days after sowing the seedlings and their germination.
It has good resistance to the most common tomato diseases.
The bushes cannot be called tall, but they cannot be called compact either. On average, the stem grows up to 130-150 cm. In a greenhouse, the stem can stretch up to 170 cm.
You need supports in the form of wire or trellises.
The shape of the fruit is flattened, the color of the skin is rich red.
Weight - on average about 200-300 grams, but again, the American Ribbed Tomato, according to reviews and photos, can be larger in size - up to half a kilogram.
There are 6-7 chambers in tomatoes.
The fruits cannot be stored for very long after picking, so they are not suitable for transportation over long distances. It is also better to eat them immediately or wrap them up for the winter.
From a square meter, where it is best to plant 3-4 bushes, you can get about 12 kg of tomatoes. From one bush - up to 3-4 kg.
The fruits are tasty fresh, as well as in the form of sauce, juice and after barrel marinating. But the variety does not have a particularly subtle taste or aroma; many summer residents believe that the tomato can be grown only for beauty, since it is nothing else remarkable.
Formation of 2-3 stems is required. If you want larger fruits, then leave one stem.

So, as you understand about the American Ribbed Tomato from its description, it has conflicting reviews. On the one hand, summer residents praise him, on the other, they are not very happy. But it is worth noting that these tomatoes can lose taste and aroma from improper care, so it is difficult to say that the variety is unremarkable in terms of these indicators.

Each summer resident has his own, and in order for you to understand whether you need this tomato, you need to plant it at least once. You will read about cultivation below. It is also worth noting that even a few bushes of “American ribbed” tomatoes, which will give you a small harvest, will diversify their appearance for the table and winter growth.

Growing American ribbed tomato from seeds

For seedlings, American ribbed tomato seeds are sown a little over two months before transplanting the grown plants into open soil. Diving is carried out when the seedlings have two true leaves. If you plan to form a bush with two or three branches, then three plants are planted on one square meter, and if you have one branch, you can plant four. Further agrotechnical actions include watering, which, if necessary, can be reduced or stopped altogether due to the susceptibility of this variety to fruit cracking, timely weeding, pinching, and disease prevention.

During the growing process, the trunk and branches of the plant must be tied to supports, which will help them not to break from the wind. When formed, a bush with one or two stems produces fruits weighing about 250 grams, and if you form a bush into one branch and remove a certain amount of the ovary, you can get a very large harvest of tomatoes - from half a kilogram and more.

The American ribbed tomato is picky about fertilizer: it needs to be fed throughout the entire period of growth and fruiting. Neutral soil is preferable for growth. To enrich the soil with nutrients, dig it up with lupine stems.

Before planning to plant an American ribbed tomato, you should take into account that the best predecessors for tomatoes are crops such as zucchini, carrots, cauliflower, cucumber, parsley and dill. It is better to prepare the soil for planting tomatoes in the fall by adding compost, wood ash, and crushed egg shells.

Tomatoes grow well in soil rich in potassium, nitrogen, and organic fertilizers. In order for seedlings in the garden to grow faster, before planting them, the soil must be warmed up by covering it with a special shelter. When planting seedlings in holes, it is better to bury the stem of the plant until the first leaves, and if the stems are elongated, lay them in a circle in the hole. This technique will allow tomato bushes to develop a powerful root system, which will subsequently affect fruiting.

American ribbed tomato care

An important point in the process of growing tomatoes is pinching, or removing excess side shoots. Also, in average climates, it is advisable to remove leaves from the stem before a new fruit cluster. This gives the plant additional strength to form fruits, and also provides more light and air. In hot regions, this technique is not recommended, because... foliage protects the plant from overheating. Only the fruit bearing clusters and the leaves underneath are removed.

Tomatoes prefer to water infrequently, but abundantly and at the root, so the best method of watering is drip irrigation. It happens that the fruits of this tomato variety undergo cracking. This phenomenon can be eliminated by reducing watering.

Recommendations for caring for the variety

American ribbed - determinate type tomatoes that do not grow more than 1-1.5 m in height. But in order for tomatoes to grow well, it is necessary to carry out staking and pinching.

During the rooting of young seedlings, you should immediately drive a stake or build another support for the young plants.

As they grow, the stem and branches are tied up. This is required so that the branches do not fall to the ground, get wet, or rot, which naturally has a negative impact on the fruits, which in turn begin to rot. After successful planting, it is necessary to allow time for the plants to acclimatize. In the first days, the bushes are slightly shaded.

After planting, you should follow a number of rules for caring for American ribbed tomatoes:

Watering is carried out as needed, but not less than every other day. If the weather is sunny in the summer and the temperature is constantly high, then the soil under the bush should not dry out too much, this threatens the death of the plant. It is recommended to introduce nutrient moisture either in the morning, before sunrise, or in the evening, after sunset. This is due to the fact that bright rays, when water hits the leaf plates, provoke the formation of burns on the greenery.
Loosening must be carried out as a crust forms on the surface. It is necessary to remove weeds, which draw all the nutrients from the soil, and also to allow moisture and air to pass through the soil to the rhizomes.
Mulching - in order to loosen less often, you can apply straw, dried weeds or sawdust near the base of the bush. Such soil cover will reduce watering, eliminate possible germination of weeds and moisture retention in the soil.
Feeding is carried out 10 days after the plants take root in a new place. Organic fertilizers and minerals must be added. The dosage of nitrogen should be controlled, since excessive supply to the roots can stimulate the growth of foliage instead of flower buds. After the first feeding, subsequent additions of nutrients are made every 14-20 days.
Lighting – it is necessary to plant the plant in sunny areas where there is constant sunlight. The main thing is to protect the bushes from strong winds and drafts.

If all care conditions are met, then the plant will produce a good harvest, which can reach up to 5.5 kg per bush. If any problems arise, they must be resolved immediately, and not wait for further development.
