Tomato Lorraine beauty: characteristics and description of the variety, yield with photos

Pests and diseases: prevention and treatment

The tomato variety Lorraine Beauty is quite resistant to viruses (mosaic, fusarium wilt).
However, bushes can be affected by gray, white or root rot. Preliminary watering of the soil with a solution of potassium permanganate or copper sulfate, constant loosening and mulching of the rows with peat or straw helps in the fight.

Tomatoes attract pests that spoil leaves and roots: aphids, whiteflies, thrips. In open ground, plants can be attacked by slugs, cutworms and Colorado potato beetles.

For prevention, you can plant herbs next to the tomatoes, for example, leaf mustard or parsley. Spraying with an aqueous solution of ammonia helps destroy pests. Insecticides should not be used after flowering has begun.

Lorraine Beauty tomatoes are a rare and unusual variety that is worth trying to grow on your own plot

It is not too demanding on living conditions; it is important to monitor watering and temperature, as well as protect plants from pests

One or two bushes in a greenhouse are enough to surprise your home with elegant chrysanthemum tomatoes for several months.

Secrets of successful cultivation

It is better to grow this variety using the seedling method - this will help achieve the highest possible productivity.

Deadlines

The optimal time for sowing seeds for seedlings is the first ten days of March. Two months before transplanting to a garden bed in a greenhouse or open ground, the seedlings will have time to grow the root system and foliage, and also reach the required height - 25-30 cm.

Seeds

It is advisable to germinate the seeds before sowing

You can plant a yellow or red variety using purchased material from a gardening store. You can also use seeds obtained from your own harvest.

Before sowing, you need to select high-quality seeds - dip them in a saline solution of 1 tsp. salt and 1 liter of water for half an hour. Seeds that have sunk to the bottom of the container are considered good.

Tatyana Orlova (Vasilidchenko) (candidate of agricultural sciences):

1 gram contains 200-250 tomato seeds. If the package with seeds indicates a weight of 0.1 g, then there are approximately 20-24 seeds in the package.

They are washed in clean water, then disinfected in a raspberry solution of potassium permanganate. After 30 minutes, remove, wash with water and spray with any growth stimulator - Epin, Zircon. This treatment is necessary to increase the percentage of seed germination after sowing.

For rapid germination, the seed is wrapped in damp gauze and placed in a warm place for a day. To avoid drying out, they need to be sprayed several times with a spray bottle.

Container and soil

You can sow in any container with a height of at least 10 cm and with drainage holes. Seedling boxes, plastic containers, disposable cups or peat pots are suitable. The last option is the most optimal - there is no need to pick the sprouts. In addition, peat pots decompose well in the soil, so tomatoes are planted in holes along with seedling containers.

Tatyana Orlova (Vasilidchenko) (candidate of agricultural sciences):

Peat cups will begin to fall apart within 60-65 days of growing tomato seedlings in them. They are usually used for growing seedlings of crops that do not tolerate transplantation, such as cucumbers, zucchini, and watermelons. The period for growing seedlings of these crops and using peat cups is about 1 month. The cups can be used for tomatoes after picking - plant the picked seedlings in them.

Tomatoes like to grow in light, loose soil with neutral acidity. There are two mixture options:

purchased substrate for growing vegetable seedlings;
homemade soil mixture of garden soil, sand and humus mixed in equal parts.

Before placing it in a planting container, the soil is disinfected in any convenient way - calcined in the oven, spilled with a strong solution of potassium permanganate or boiling water. The container is not filled with soil to the very top - leave 2-3 cm of empty space.

Sowing technique

In order for the seedlings to germinate faster, the seeds need to be planted to a depth of no more than 1 cm. Grooves are made in the seedling boxes at a distance of 5 cm from each other. Then the seeds are sown, keeping a distance of 3-4 cm. Sprinkle the top with a thin layer of earth and irrigate with a sprayer.

When planting in peat containers or disposable plastic containers, place 1-2 seeds per container.

After sowing, the seeds are watered with warm water, covered with transparent material, providing greenhouse conditions, and kept in room conditions with diffused daylight. You can place boxes with seedlings on the southeast or southwest windowsill.

Until the seedlings emerge, the seedlings are periodically ventilated to avoid mold, and also irrigated with water - every other day.

A week later, when sprouts appear, the shelter is removed and the seedlings are placed in a well-lit but cool place with a temperature of 15-17°C. Such conditions are necessary to avoid stretching of sprouts and stimulate the growth of the root system. After a week, the seedlings are returned to their original location.

When planting in groups, the sprouts need to be planted in separate containers at the stage of the appearance of the first true leaves. The soil is well watered, then the sprouts are removed and, together with the earthen lump, transferred into separate containers. All voids are filled with fertile soil (garden soil mixed with humus).

Description and characteristics of the tomato variety Lorraine beauty

If we classify tomatoes by application, we can distinguish four large groups - salad, processed, universal, decorative and gift - with specific and unusual fruits. One of the brightest representatives of the latter is the Lorraine beauty tomato. Their main purpose is to decorate the table.

Fruit characteristics

The Lorraine beauty tomato is an elegant large, ribbed, rounded fruit, flattened at the top. Outwardly they look like a closed flower with wide petals. The color of ripe tomatoes is bright scarlet. Weight is 200-350 grams, with proper agricultural technology it can reach half a kilogram.

The inside is multi-chambered, hollow, almost without seeds. The taste is sweetish with sourness. Suitable only for fresh consumption - slicing or stuffing looks impressive on the table. Dense, resistant to cracking. They are stored for a long time. They ripen well when picked brown.

Properties of the variety

The tomato is of American origin, more precisely of US selection. Tomatoes are of indeterminate type, with a height of 1.5 to 2 meters. The average late ripening period is 110-120 days. It is grown both in greenhouses and open ground. Self-pollinating. Productivity is low - no more than 3-4 kg per bush. Under unfavorable weather conditions, you can generally get 2-3 tomatoes.

The characteristics of resistance to viral and fungal diseases are as follows: resistant to Fusarium wilt, gray leaf spot, tobacco mosaic, Alternaria stem cancer, verticillium, cladosporiosis, nematode. Not resistant to root and white rot.

The bush is not standard - the stems are thin in constitution, large, slightly corrugated leaves. You can also add to the description of the variety that due to its specificity, it is not grown in agriculture on an industrial scale. This is a tomato for amateur gardeners and collectors of unusual plants.

Features of cultivation

Tomatoes of the Lorraine Beauty variety are no different in cultivation technology from most classic varieties:

sowing seeds - obtaining seedlings.
picking.
transplanting.
cultivation - watering, fertilizing, garter formation.
harvesting.

Sowing seeds for seedlings for open ground, taking into account the climate zone, is carried out no earlier than two months before the onset of stable warm weather. After 3-4 weeks, in the phase of 2-3 true leaves, they peak. They are planted approximately 30 days after picking. If warm weather has not yet established itself, the seedlings should be “tempered” - treated with the drug “Tur” or another growth regulator to avoid overgrowth.

The planting pattern is 60 x 50. The interval along the rows is 60 cm, between plants 45-50. Due to its resistance to cracking, the beauty does not require strict adherence to the watering regime, but the soil should not be allowed to dry out too much.

The formation of the bush is carried out by removing the stepsons and gartering. It is produced in one trunk, however, according to reviews from gardeners, there is successful experience in growing tomatoes in two trunks.

Selection of fertilizers according to the classic P-NK scheme. During the development period, the complex contains a large percentage of nitrogen, during flowering and ovary - phosphorus, and when fruits ripen, potassium is needed. To prevent blossom end rot, periodically give Ca, that is, calcium nitrate. Fruiting continues as long as weather conditions permit. With the onset of cold weather, the still green fruits will grow well at room temperature.

Lorraine beauty yellow

In addition to red, there is also a yellow variety with ribbed, corrugated fruits. In terms of general characteristics, these two tomatoes are similar - both are indeterminate in the average ripening period. The color of the tomato is bright yellow-orange. The cutting looks very beautiful together with red ones, very similar to flowers.

Advantages and disadvantages of the variety

The advantages include the following:

Lorraine beauty, a spectacular, unusual-looking tomato reminiscent of dahlia flowers;
high taste qualities;
resistant to most diseases;
unpretentious, easy to grow;
It is possible to form a bush into two trunks.

The disadvantage is the low yield, which is highly dependent on weather conditions. Due to the long ripening period, in the north, tomatoes are cultivated only in greenhouses.

Fruit characteristics

Description of the variety Lorraine beauty

The Lorraine beauty tomato is an indeterminate variety; the bush grows up to two meters in height and requires mandatory cultivation, including pinching and staking. It is considered mid-early, but in the domestic climate, when grown in open ground, it is rather mid-late: the fruits are harvested no earlier than August. Although it was bred for unprotected soil, it grows and bears fruit normally in greenhouses. Loves warmth: it grows in cold climates, but the yield is greatly reduced. Disease resistance is average.

The Lorraine beauty tomato bushes are tall, but there are few fruits on them, and they are not aligned in size

Caring for this variety is simple and no different from caring for unpretentious tomatoes. The yield of the variety is average: the fruits are quite large, but their total number on the plant rarely exceeds one and a half dozen, and usually only 8–10 pieces. On average, tomatoes slightly fall short of 500 g, but sometimes there are kilogram specimens. Fruit ripening is uneven, spread over one and a half to two months.

Among the fruits there are also giants

The variety was first considered red-fruited, but a little later a yellow-fruited version was also developed. The fruits of both varieties are identical in shape and size, flat-round, strongly ribbed. The taste is sweetish; many lovers rate it as good, but too dry. The yellow (rather orange) Lorraine beauty contains slightly more sugars compared to the red one (more correctly, scarlet: the color can be blood red, and sometimes ruby).

The shape and purpose of yellow fruits are the same as red ones

The fruits on the bushes do not crack and can easily be transported. They are consumed only fresh. Sliced into layers, tomatoes of this variety are used to decorate salads, various appetizers and main courses. The ability to decorate dishes is due to the fact that the fruits are half-empty inside and contain chamber-pockets in which there are almost no seeds. Tomatoes of this variety are not used for harvesting.

However, this year some tomatoes had “voids” “inside, probably from the crazy heat (although I’ve been planting this variety for a long time and this has never happened before) Very powerful bushes, unusual shape and large size evoke admiration and surprise among guests and neighbors...

Additional care

Tomatoes of the Lorraine beauty variety love warmth. In bad weather conditions it can produce below average yields. This becomes another reason for growing in greenhouses, where the temperature can be artificially increased.
Growing seedlings is standard. Picking of seedlings is carried out after the appearance of 2-3 true leaves. Nutrient mixtures should be used and fertilizing should be carried out so that the root system has time to strengthen before planting in the ground.
Tomato fruits are large and heavy, so you should additionally tie up not only the plant itself, but also strengthen the brushes. When growing outdoors, you should choose places where the wind force is minimal. Otherwise, strong winds may break the plant.

Advantages and disadvantages compared to other similar varieties

The Lorraine beauty tomato is grown infrequently, but is well described in the literature, and there are reviews about it from amateur gardeners. At the same time, both the advantages of the variety and its disadvantages are noted. The advantages include:

original unusual appearance of tomatoes;
long-term preservation and transportability of fruits;
the ability of tomatoes to ripen during storage;
good, for an ornamental variety, sweetish taste;
resistance to a number of diseases.

The list of disadvantages includes:

hollowness of fruits;
presence of dryness in taste;
unsuitability of fruits for processing;
significant dependence of yield on weather.

So, in the central zone of our country, the Lorraine beauty can still be grown in unprotected soil, but a little further north it can bear fruit normally only in greenhouses.

There are very few varieties intended specifically for decoration, but there are tomatoes with a similar, strongly ribbed fruit shape. Thus, the new domestic variety Garmoshka is considered a salad variety and is characterized by excellent taste and high yield. The fruits are pink, pear-shaped, strongly ribbed, very large. The Mushroom Basket tomato has good taste; the yield of strongly ribbed, flat-round pink fruits is at the same level as that of the Lorraine beauty. The very large ribbed fruits of the Cheerful Neighbor tomato, which appeared only a few years ago, have good taste and high yield.
