Tomato variety Ural giant

Collation of varieties

The variety belongs to a new generation among large-fruited ones, and includes 4 species.
They differ from each other only in the color of the fruit. They can be not only pink or red, but also orange and yellow. Each variety has its own special taste, smell and characteristics. Red fruits contain a lot of lycopene, which is very beneficial for our body. The fruits are pink in color (and) also taste sweet. Yellow vegetables have a more piquant taste, while orange ones have more than enough carotene.

Compared to other large-fruited varieties, this variety can be classified as early ripening. Burning bush is indeterminate and liana-like. The height is up to 1.5 m. Therefore, they require a garter.

Description and characteristics of the variety

Tomato Giant is an indeterminate tall variety. Powerful bushes grow up to 1.5-2 m.

Plants are characterized by semi-spreading shoots and moderate foliage. They require garters and shaping.

Ripening time is average - 125 days from germination. The huge fruits weigh in the range of 600-700 g. Many specimens from the lower branches reach 1.2 kg.

Tomato "Aelita" Giant is characterized by raspberry-pink tomatoes with bright juicy pulp. At the break they are meaty and sugary. The taste harmoniously combines sourness and sweetness.

Which regions are best to grow in?

The tomato is intended for various areas and is grown:

• in moderate stripes under the film;
• in the south in open beds;
• in the northern regions in heated greenhouses.

Method of use

Giant tomatoes are especially tasty in salads and fresh slices. Also used for:

• pastes and juices;
• hot dishes;
• sauces and ketchups;
• canning in pieces;
• drying in slices.

Origin of giant tomato varieties

When developing varieties of giant tomatoes, the main goal of breeders was to achieve larger sizes and improve the taste of the fruit. As a result, tomatoes with large fruits and an original sweet taste have been developed. The pulp of giant tomatoes is pleasant to the taste and contains an increased amount of sugars, lycopene and provitamin A.

Perhaps the disadvantage of giant tomatoes can be considered the specificity of their use - for salads and processing for juice. They are not suitable for preservation due to their size; their shelf life is generally not great. The weight of the “giant” fruit usually ranges from 200 to 500 grams. And for growing in a garden or summer cottage - interesting, exciting and appetizing.

The characteristics and description of the variety indicated on the packaging must be read before purchasing seeds - fundamental points may be indicated there. Prepare the seeds for planting - disinfect them in a solution of potassium permanganate, rinse them in warm water and put them in a cool place for several days. Next, the seeds are soaked, and when the first shoots appear, they are planted in prepared pots.

The most important thing when deciding to grow a giant tomato is to purchase high-quality selection seeds. In Moscow there are representative offices of almost all companies involved in the licensed sale of seeds.

Growing giant tomatoes is not particularly difficult. Many varieties are suitable both for open ground in the southern regions and for growing in Siberia in greenhouse conditions.

The requirements for seeds, seedlings, planting time and plant care are similar to other varieties.

An important feature of successful cultivation of giants is the obligatory timely staking of the stem, topping and pinching of the plant. Depending on the desire to get fruits of a certain size, it is necessary to form a bush. Usually 2 stems are left, but for growing particularly large specimens - only 1 stem. As the fruit grows, be sure to strengthen the branches with stands.

Advantages and disadvantages

Summer residents have managed to appreciate this variety for its very good taste and productivity. Caring for them requires some effort, but the result will live up to expectations.

Ural giant tomatoes weigh at least 500 g each

pros

• excellent taste;
• large-fruited, attractive tomatoes;
• good yield;
• the skin is thin, but the tomatoes do not crack;
• the variety is adapted for cultivation in different regions;
• perfect for homemade preparations.

Minuses

• immunity is average;
• you need to take stepsons and form a bush;
• plants must be tied to a support;
• keeping quality and transportability are not at the highest level;
• Ural giant tomatoes are not suitable for whole-fruit canning.

Advantages of the variety

Salad tomatoes vary in color, they are sweet in taste, with fleshy pulp. The characteristics and description of the variety of classic giant tomatoes are associated with resistance to cracking and high temperature. To experience the full flavor palette of tomatoes, it is recommended to plant all 4 color varieties.

Description of fruits:

• The pulp of the fruit is sugary, like that of a watermelon, grainy at the break, juicy, melts in the mouth.
• Red tomatoes contain record amounts of lycopene.
• Pink tomatoes have a rich, sweet taste.
• The orange and yellow fruits, which have a rich, piquant taste, contain carotene.

The declared varieties are presented on the agro market, which creates healthy hybrids for cultivation in Siberia and the Urals under risky farming conditions.

The Ural Giant variety attracts vegetable growers with its high adaptability to weather conditions and microclimate. Plants have ecological plasticity, so it is proposed to grow the crop in any region where it is possible to cultivate the soil.

The variety's resistance to low temperatures allows it to be grown in open ground in cold regions of the country. At the same time, the adaptation of the crop to elevated temperature conditions allows the variety to be grown in hot greenhouses and in the open air of the southern part of Russia.

The Ural giant is characterized by medium fruiting periods, because the formation of large tomatoes is associated with a lot of time. Bushes with unlimited growth potentially provide the plant with high productivity.

During the growing season, a powerful trunk is formed; the plant reaches a height of 1.5-2 m. On the bush there is a constant desire to form and develop new flower stalks. On 1 cluster, 3-5 ovaries are formed, from which fruits of a round shape with slight ribbing develop.

When cut horizontally, many chambers with seeds are observed. Tomatoes of the Ural Giant variety reach a weight of 800 g. Salad-type tomatoes are not intended for long-term storage, so it is recommended to process part of the harvest in time into tomato paste and lecho.

Among the advantages are the following:

1. If you care for the bushes correctly, then up to 15 kg of vegetables will be harvested per square meter during the season.
2. Since the bushes are mature, up to 5 ovaries can form on one brush. This allows for very efficient use of space.
3. The fruits have a good aroma and taste.
4. Although the vegetables are large, they crack extremely rarely.
5. They tolerate both extreme heat and cold well.

The disadvantage is susceptibility to diseases and many pests. Plants suffer from late blight and other diseases. In addition, fruits are inconvenient to transport over long distances.

Care

Tall bushes are formed into 1 or 2 stems, removing side shoots. When the plant reaches the desired height, pinch out the growing point.

The stems are tied to a trellis, but also clusters with heavy fruits. The number of flowers is normalized as needed (the fewer flowers, the larger the fruit). Water the plants once a week - with warm water at the root.

():

Large-fruited varieties are characterized by the phenomenon of fasciation - the fusion of several flowers and the appearance of a large single double flower. From such a flower a huge, often ugly-shaped fruit develops, which delays the appearance of other fruits and significantly reduces their size. Regularly inspect flowers on tomatoes and remove double ones.

After watering, the soil is well loosened and weeded. To retain moisture in the soil and reduce the number of weeds, the bed can be mulched (peat, hay, dry leaves, etc.).

The large-fruited variety needs frequent fertilizing - they do it once every two weeks, alternating organic fertilizers with mineral complexes. They can be combined with watering using liquid or water-soluble fertilizers. If there is a deficiency of certain minerals (which can be seen by the appearance of the plant), foliar feeding is used to help compensate for the deficiency in the shortest possible time.

Important Details

It is worth noting some characteristic features of the variety.

Fruiting dates

In various sources, the description of the variety differs in detail - it is called either early or mid-season. In essence, there is no contradiction here. Naturally, such a large tomato cannot be early ripening.

The Ural giant is characterized by medium ripening periods. On the other hand, usually such “heavyweights” are mid-late. And in this weight category, relative to others, we can talk about relatively early dates.

Plant dimensions

Indeterminate type of bush, which provides the plant with the highest potential yield. Over the course of a season, the bush grows almost as tall as a person, reaching one and a half meters in height.

The trunk is very powerful, with a constant desire for continuous development, the formation of more and more new brushes. By their primordial nature, tall tomato bushes are close to vines and “lie down” under the weight of the harvest if they are not tied up in time.

Harvest quality

The fruits really grow to gigantic sizes. The 700–800 grams promised by the manufacturers is far from the limit. One brush can bear 3 – 5 ovaries. Each tomato is round in shape, with a flattened top. Multi-chambered, moderately ribbed.

Vitamin diversity

It is very convenient for summer residents that the variety is offered in four color variations. Each owner can make a choice according to his taste, or better yet, plant all four! In addition to aesthetic pleasure, there are tangible benefits. You will get a whole palette of flavors, a complex of vitamins and other biologically active substances.

Taste sensations

The pulp of the Ural giant is of the “watermelon” type, granular and sugary at the break, moderately juicy, melting in the mouth. The taste is amazing, truly sweet.

Another valuable feature is the real “tomato” aroma. These tomatoes make the most delicious fresh salads. Just one tomato and you have a bowl of salad for the whole family.

Landing

Before planting, you need to add fertilizer to the soil. This should be done at the end of autumn. Wonderful fertilizers are such natural accumulations as bird droppings and wood ash.

Already formed seedlings are planted in the ground. It is prepared in advance, sowing the seeds by the end of March, deepening them 1 cm into the rock. After the true leaves appear, they are planted separately.

Before planting, you need to harden the plants by taking them outside for 2-3 hours every day for a week. Seedlings can be planted in the greenhouse as early as May. In this case, the age of the plants should be deserted (= sparsely populated) less than 2 months. You can plant them in the beds only after you are sure that there will be no more frosts. The plant must have more than 5 leaves and one raceme. Fertilizers should be placed in each hole.

Features of cultivation

Seeds for seedlings are sown in the second half of March (the deadline is early April). The soil can be used either purchased or your own - for example, turf soil with compost and humus (2:1:1). It is pre-treated in potassium permanganate or in a solution of pharmaceutical hydrogen peroxide, then spilled with water. The seeds are kept in a growth stimulator - “Zircon”, “Epin”, “Kornevin”.

They are sown to a depth of 1.5 cm, maintaining a distance of 2 cm between plantings and 5 cm between grooves. Grow with plenty of moisture under film or glass, monitoring a constant temperature (24-25 degrees). They dive after 2-3 leaves appear, then give complex fertilizer. Harden off 7-10 days before transplanting into the ground.

At the end of May or early June, Ural Giant tomato seedlings are transferred to a greenhouse (interval 50-60 cm). Further care for them includes the following actions:

1. Regular, abundant watering (1-2 times a week, 7-10 liters per adult plant).
2. Apply complex fertilizer once every 2-3 weeks.
3. Stepping and forming a bush into 2 stems. To do this, leave a sprout that appears in the axil of the leaf located under the first flower raceme. It can also be formed into 1 stem - then all the stepsons are removed.
4. Mulching, weeding, loosening the soil.
5. Tying - it is optimal to hang a horizontal trellis and put a rope around which the tomato branches will cling.

It is important to choose the appropriate method for gartering bushes for tomatoes.

Tomato "Ural Early": surprise with ease and ease of care

It is difficult to call this information official and reliable, since the variety is not included in the register of breeding achievements of the Russian Federation. The true origin of the tomato variety is unknown.

The variety came to the market under the patronage and tag “Northern Vegetables”. The company itself does not have information about the variety and cannot explain its origin.

Variety information

Since the variety has not been tested at variety testing stations under the supervision of specialist breeders, the information can only be partially trusted.

The variety is presented as determinate, low-growing, standard. Those vegetable growers who fell for the picture and grew it describe the plant as being up to 50 cm high with a small leaf blade.

The central shoot of the vegetative form is very persistent. The plant looks like a small tree. The fruits are formed in spreading clusters.

An early ripening variety provided that seedlings are sown in early March.

The fruits are round and flat-round in shape, not large, but not cherry. During the period of full biological maturity, rich red color. When cut, it is clearly visible that the flesh is dark red in color.

The tomatoes are a good size to fit into the mouth of the sealing jar. However, there is no information about how exactly the variety behaves during heat treatment.

When considering Ural Early tomatoes, reviews regarding sustainability are not clear.

Those vegetable growers who grew tomatoes in greenhouses talk about the extreme resistance of the variety, but in open ground, tomato bushes were the first to be affected by late blight and it was not possible to get at least some harvest.

Experienced vegetable growers do not rely on the mercy of nature and are well aware that there is not a single completely resistant variety, therefore preventive treatments are the basis for the well-being of the crop.

For Ural Early, the most preferable treatment scheme will be the following:

1. First treatment after planting in open ground;
2. The second in 15-20 days;
3. The third again in 15-20 days
4. Then every 10 days after harvesting, with preparations with a short waiting period after treatments.

To get a high-quality harvest you need:

• Select disease-resistant varieties;
• Carry out preventive treatments regardless of the variety;
• The frequency of treatments should be compared with weather conditions;
• Do not use the same fungicidal preparations for many years;
• During the season, carry out alternating treatments with drugs of different directions with different active principles.

Among the advantages, vegetable growers talk about:

• early harvest;
• ease of care;
• the uselessness of stepsoning;
• no need for supports;
• it is unnecessary to tie up shoots and inflorescences;
• good taste.

Unfortunately, the shortcomings are also obvious and they have done their job. There is information that some vegetable growers have introduced varieties that “I will never sow again.”

The main reasons for such dissatisfaction with “Ural Early” are the following:

• low yield;
• high sensitivity to diseases;
• unprofitability of growing in greenhouses and greenhouses.

Vegetable growers in the southern regions can afford to sow early tomato seeds directly into open ground. However, this is not acceptable for farmers in the Urals and cultivation must begin with seedlings.

The seedling period of this variety is no different from all others. The seed is soaked, warmed and sown. Many gardeners practice growing low-growing tomatoes without pinching and without individual containers, and they are absolutely right.

Seedlings of this variety will not take up much space on windowsills, they do not outgrow and do not require additional handling.

It is necessary to plant in the garden at a time when the threat of return frosts has completely passed. It can be planted in greenhouses earlier, but there is no point in taking up expensive space with this variety.

When choosing a landing site, the following conditions must be taken into account:

• the area should be the sunniest;
• you can choose any predecessor except nightshade;
• select soils that are light, air-permeable and water-permeable;
• The acidity of the soil should not be high.

If the soils are sufficiently fertile, then the variety will not require special fertilizing. The removal of nutrients by the variety is not large, due to its small fruit and low yield.

Tomato "Ural Early" reviews, yield and all available information are very ambiguous, so there is no need to sow a lot. By sowing a few seeds and growing bushes, you can understand whether such a tomato is needed in the garden or whether it is better to choose another one.

The Ural region is large, but breeders are trying to develop varieties that would satisfy the most demanding vegetable growers and they need to be used.

To get a good harvest, you need to tie up the bushes, shape them, water them on time, apply fertilizer and warn against diseases.

Formation

1. The bushes are constantly growing, and therefore require formation according to the season. If this is not done, the yield will be low. It is necessary to fire the stepchildren and carry out topping.
2. If the plants are well supplied with nutrition, then it is allowed to leave 1 stepson above the first brush. When the bush reaches a height of more than 150 cm, you should pinch the top. In this case, you need to stop several leaves above the brush. Pinching will allow the plant to spend energy only on top of the fruit.

Garter The fruits grow large, so the bush must be tied up. (It is convenient to use vertical trellises. The bush is wrapped around, and the brushes are tied separately separately.

Watering Watering should only be done with warm water. This needs to be repaired after dark. Water every 2 days, in moderation.

Fertilizers should be applied during the season, at least every 2 weeks. Both mineral and organic fertilizers are useful. If you do not apply fertilizer regularly and in sufficient quantities, you will not be able to grow fleshy and large fruits.

Ural character

The declared varieties are presented on the seed market in agro packaging, in the “Ural Summer Resident” series. The company's head office is registered in Moscow, but has close ties with breeding and seed-growing organizations in the Urals, in particular the Chelyabinsk region.

The Miass-sortsemovosh enterprise located here is reviving the best Soviet traditions of seed production. The Chelyabinsk branch of the Research Institute of Fruit and Vegetable Growing and other agricultural structures are involved in the work.

does not bother itself with worries about including the varieties it distributes in the State Seed Register. This does not prevent them from gaining increasing popularity among amateur vegetable growers from all over the country. People are attracted by the stated high adaptability of varieties to a variety of weather conditions and any microclimate. Plants are genetically endowed with high ecological plasticity.

For example, Ural Giant tomatoes are proposed to be grown in any region of the country where farming is possible. This variety can be successfully poured in the harsh conditions of the Urals, Altai, Siberia, North-West, and Moscow region. Its endurance to cold snaps allows it to please owners even in open ground, although in a greenhouse, of course, the return can be even greater. Resistance to high temperatures is also excellent - both in hot indoor ground and in the open air of more southern regions.

Benefits of giant tomatoes

The main advantage of giant tomatoes is the increased content of sugars, carotene and lycopene in the fruit. In addition, giant tomatoes are of the salad type, that is, they have fleshy, juicy pulp, and the sweet taste of the fruit makes them indispensable for fresh consumption and the preparation of juices, ketchups and sauces.

Even one kilogram giant tomato on the table will look more luxurious than a whole bucket of small tomatoes.

Diseases and pests

Varieties with large and sweet fruits tend to attract various types of pests. For greenhouse tomatoes, the main threat is late blight. To minimize the risk of infection, it is necessary to observe correct crop rotation and take preventive measures in a timely manner.

Adviсe

• You can’t plant tomatoes next to potatoes, and also after peppers and eggplants;
• The soil must be loosened frequently and the beds must be weeded;
• The greenhouse must be ventilated regularly;
• The plantings should not be thickened; excess leaves should be removed from the bushes;
• Do not fertilize the soil with fresh manure;
• It is recommended to disinfect the greenhouse with lime chloride;
• Plants need to be treated with Bordeaux mixture or copper oxychloride, watered with an infusion of ash;
• If there are obvious signs of late blight, you can treat the bushes with oxychome, “Profit” or “Kartotsid” preparations.

Prevention

To prevent the development of various fungal diseases, it is advisable to spray plants with Fitosporin, which is safe from an environmental point of view. If the plants are already infected, you need to use special preparations that are sold in stores for gardeners.

Plants of this variety require special and constant care, without which it is impossible to obtain a high yield. Only in this case the fruits will be large, juicy and fleshy, and will have good taste.
