Hybrid qualities
A hybrid from crossing two varieties of tomatoes has the following characteristics:
- Excellent taste.
- Disease resistance.
- Excellent commercial quality.
- Keeping quality.
- Transportability.
- Great looks.
- Easy to care for.
Due to its high commercial qualities, the hybrid is often used for cultivation on farms and vegetable factories. It is also in demand among gardeners.
Like other varieties and hybrids of tomatoes, Matias is grown in seedlings. To get an early harvest, seeds are planted for seedlings in mid or early March (depending on the weather conditions of the region). After planting in fertile, loose soil, containers with seedlings are covered with film until the seeds germinate. As soon as the seeds hatch, the film is removed and the plants continue to be grown in an open, warm and sunny place, maintaining the room temperature at 24–26 degrees.
Until two permanent leaves appear on the sprouts, the soil is watered by spraying.
After the leaves appear, the seedlings are planted in separate containers and grown until the onset of warm weather conditions outside. Plants are transplanted into the greenhouse in May-June; this also depends on the temperature in the room. The optimal values are 22–25 degrees during the day and 16–20 at night.
Seedlings are planted in a checkerboard pattern with a distance between plants of 50 by 40 centimeters. One square meter produces 3-4 plants.
Plant care
After planting the seedlings, they are constantly looked after to obtain a high-quality and early harvest.
- Plant garter. Produced immediately after planting and as it grows.
- Stepsonning. The variety is usually grown in one stem, so all the stepsons are removed. If you decide to grow 2-3 stems, then leave several stepsons.
- Loosening and watering. Immediately after watering, the soil under the bushes needs to be loosened so that the lump of earth above the roots does not retain moisture and air access.
- Fertilizer. When growing tomatoes, feed the soil and greenery of the plants at least three times a season.
- Harvesting. To obtain a large number of ripe fruits, the crop is harvested immediately after ripening. Ripe fruits retard the growth of young tomatoes. Characteristics of fertilizing: mineral and organic.

Yablonka Russia
Tomatoes with such a reverent name could not help but get into the top - they ripen early - from the time the first shoots appear until the moment when the bushes are completely strewn with small round fruits (weighing about 100 g) and really similar to bulk apples, it takes from 118 to 135 days.
Many consider this tomato to be problem-free - it is determinate, standard bushes grow low - up to 100 cm; there is no need to shape them and pin them; They are not capricious and feel great and set fruit both in the greenhouse and in the open ground. One bush can simultaneously ripen up to 100 neat tomatoes suitable for canning - the skin will not burst, there is no need to worry. Not a tomato, but just a sight for sore eyes!
Description of the variety
The Danna tomato is an early ripening vegetable crop of Russian selection. The variety was obtained in 1983 for cultivation in the Northern regions of Russia, Moldova and Ukraine.
Thanks to successful selection, tomato yields are always stable. Tomato harvesting occurs on days 110–117, after planting the seeds. The first brush of the inflorescence is formed above the 8th leaf of the plant, each subsequent one with an interval of 2 leaves.
- Dunn's tomato bush is not a standard type;
- plant height is 50–55 cm;
- medium leaf variety;
- the leaf is medium-sized, dark green;
- the inflorescence is complex, bearing more than 5 fruits.
The tomato is intended for growing in open ground. In order for the yield to come earlier, vegetables can also be grown in greenhouses and greenhouse structures.
Monomakh's hat
6th step of the conditional “pedestal”. These bright red tomatoes will appeal to lovers of large fruits - they weigh from 400 to 900 g. The pulp has a balanced taste thanks to the harmonious ratio of acids and sugar.
The type of fruiting is mid-early (90-110 days pass from the moment the seedlings are planted). The bushes are indeterminate, formed on a trunk. The plant successfully resists diseases, but prefers warmth to cold, so in the northern regions it is better to plant it in a greenhouse. In protected soil conditions, the yield is impressive and reaches 20 kg per 1 sq.m. In the garden, the indicators are also decent - up to 8 kg per bush.
Puzata hut
In terms of the number of votes received, it was not far from Monomakh's Cap. The appearance of these tomatoes fully explains the name. Large (300 g), pear-shaped, ribbed, just like squat gnome houses, these tomatoes ripen early - 105-110 days after planting the seedlings. True, they turn red gradually if there is a lot of heat and sun. They are grown in open ground and under film, where they ripen faster. The fruits are fleshy, taste very sweet and juicy.
The bushes are indeterminate, but even in a greenhouse their height rarely exceeds 170 cm. However, it will not be possible to do without shaping. The stems are thin and need staking, as they can lie down under the weight of the fruit. And the yield of these tomatoes, ripening in clusters of 3-5 pieces, is quite decent - 10-11 kg per bush. They are little susceptible to common cultural diseases, but preventive protective measures have never hurt anyone.
“This year I also want a Puzata hut. Last year a friend had them - just a miracle!” Marina Samoilova.

It exhibits high resistance to major diseases, and timely applied insecticides will repel harmful insects.

The main advantages of the variety are its cold resistance, shade tolerance and productivity.
“The tall De Barao produces stable yields in any weather: in rain, in heat, even in the shade.” Tatiana Trach.

It is noteworthy that the plant produces its harvest over a long period of time (up to 3 months). There are varieties with pink, red, yellow and black fruits.
