The best varieties of black tomatoes: photos and reviews from gardeners

Description of the variety

According to the ripening period, the tomato is classified as mid-early. Technical maturity of the fruits occurs after 95-105 days from the moment of sowing, full ripening - after 110-120 days.

Black Cherry plants are huge in size. The weak climbing stem stretches up to 2 meters. In appearance it resembles a grapevine. This is achieved, among other things, due to the dark color of the foliage and complex fruit clusters, similar to grapes. From 15 to 15 tomatoes are formed in one brush.

Fruit

Characteristics and description of the Black Cherry tomato variety, yield

Black cherry tomatoes have a pleasant sweet taste. The variety is also called Black Cherry, Black Cherry or Black Cherry tomato. The fruits of the variety resemble chocolate candy in appearance. The variety was selected by specialists in the USA in 2003. The decision to enter the tomato into the State Register of Russia was made in 2009. Tomatoes of this variety are successfully grown in central Russia. In the northern regions and Siberia, tomatoes are grown only in greenhouses.

Varietal characteristics

Black cherry bushes are quite tall. The tomato stems resemble a grapevine, with dense bunches of tomatoes shaped like ripe cherries. The time from the appearance of the first shoots to the harvest ranges from 112 to 120 days. The tomato is resistant to cladosporiosis. The yield from one bush, subject to compliance with agrotechnical measures, can be more than 5 kg.

The attractiveness of the variety lies in the unusual appearance and high taste of tomatoes. The main disadvantage is the need for constant inspection of plants and bush formation, possible cracking of the tomato skin during ripening.

Cherry tomato is quite sensitive to lack of light and nutrients. Fast-growing stems must be tied up in a timely manner, otherwise they may break off or bend to the ground.

Cherry tomato has a peculiarity - on the bush the side stems are thicker than the main one. The greatest number of ovaries with fruits are on the side shoots. This variety is not a hybrid - having purchased seeds once, you can get them from your harvest for planting the next year.

Description of fruits

Cherry tomatoes are small in size: diameter is about 3 cm, and weight is usually less than 20 g. The pulp has a medium density of a cherry hue; when ripe, the shades of the upper skin present a black palette with a dark purple tint.

This color is formed due to the presence of a large amount of anthocyanin in the fruits - a substance that has a therapeutic effect against colds, has an antiviral effect and increases immunity. Regular consumption of these tomatoes improves vision. It has been observed that anthocyanin acts as a cancer prevention agent.

Each Cherry tomato fruit has 2 – 3 seed chambers. Up to 9 tomatoes can ripen simultaneously in one bunch.

The main advantage lies in the originality of the taste of tomatoes. Their description notes that the tomatoes are sweetish, with an unusual aroma.

The fruits must be collected when they reach biological ripeness. If tomatoes were harvested ahead of schedule, the fruits, which reached technical ripeness on the bush and only then went through the ripening process, have lower taste and fewer nutrients.

Black cherry tomatoes can be stored for quite a long period. They are pickled and preserved as pickles, and added to vegetable or fruit salads. Black cherries are used as decorations for ready-made dishes when serving. Tomatoes are dried and dried for the winter. If fresh tomatoes are moved to a room with a temperature of +5 to +8 degrees, they can be stored for 1 month.

Growing Cherry Tomatoes

The description of the variety includes information about the resistance of tomato bushes to low temperatures. Tomatoes sprout quickly and are highly resistant to diseases. To grow this tomato variety with the best results, Black cherry tomatoes are planted in the soil using seedling method.

Sow the seeds approximately 2 months before planting the seedlings in open ground or in a greenhouse. The distance between bushes should be at least 60 - 70 cm, and between rows - at least 1 meter. The peculiarity of tomatoes is that the plants require pinching.

The characteristics of the variety note that the bushes can grow up to 180 cm, and in greenhouse conditions - up to 2 meters in height. Reviews from those who planted these tomatoes confirm the need to tie the stems to a trellis. An important task for gardeners is to timely remove the shoots of Black cherry tomatoes.

Usually 1 - 2 stems are left. The stepsons are cut off in a timely manner, leaving a cutting of no more than 2 centimeters. Powerful bushes and a large number of fruits force the use of fertilizing.

Irregular watering leads to cracking of the fruits at the moment of ripening. Fruiting continues for a long period, until autumn frosts.

Possible tomato diseases and pests

There is a danger of infection of Black cherry tomatoes with diseases, viruses, and fungi characteristic of nightshades.

The most common infection with phytosporosis is the loss of leaves. The cause of the disease is often high humidity. To avoid the problem, the bushes are treated with Fitosporin, and greenhouses with tomatoes are frequently ventilated.

You can cope with phytosporosis using the traditional method: whey is diluted with water in equal proportions and sprayed on tomato bushes. If the previous options did not have the desired effect, every 15 days the bushes are sprayed with a solution consisting of 1 tablet of Trichopolum per liter of water. Treat the beds with Bordeaux mixture or Mikosan.

The disease blossom end rot appears as darkening on the top of the bush. As a preventive measure, when planting seedlings, add a handful of wood ash and calcium nitrate to each hole - just take 1 tbsp. l. each substance. A lack of microelements and moisture in the soil is indicated by the process in which the foliage of tomato bushes curls.

Plants grown in greenhouse conditions can be affected by aphids and whiteflies, and in open beds bushes are eaten by spider mites. Tomato pests can be controlled by using ready-made insecticides Fufanon or Verticillin.

Traditional methods will also help - spraying the bushes with herbal infusions of chamomile, yarrow or regular tobacco.

Growing tomatoes

The most effective for the Cherry Black variety is cultivation under closed conditions. It allows you to provide plants with the necessary temperature conditions and avoid wind loads that threaten to break branches and break off fruit clusters.

IMPORTANT : Seeds are grown in the traditional seedling way.

How to prepare seeds?

Export seeds are usually processed for delivery to the territory of the Russian Federation. However, you should check the package for the presence of the mark: “Do not treat the seeds,” “Seeds are processed,” or similar.

It is enough to disinfect the treated seeds with potassium permanganate and soak in water before planting. For independently collected seeds, seed preparation must be complete, including the following steps :

Sorting - only strong and healthy seeds are left for planting;
Disinfection with antiseptics;
Soaking in stimulating solutions: “Agrofil”, “Epin”, “Zircon”;
Soak in purified water for 24-48 hours.

Sowing seed material

Seeds are sown using the square-cluster method in containers equipped with drainage holes.

Recommended regime for keeping seedlings:

Air temperature – 22-24*C;
Daily watering;
Feeding with complex means – once every 14 days.

For a week after sowing, the seedlings are kept under film, after emergence - in an open container. Picking is carried out after the appearance of 2-3 leaves.

Rules for planting seedlings

Seedlings are planted for permanent residence 50-60 days after sowing, but not earlier than the last return frost. By this point, the plants should have 5-7 true leaves.

IMPORTANT : The soil in the garden bed must first be cleared of weeds and fertilized with manure at the rate of 7-10 kg per 1 sq.m.

The landing pattern is checkerboard. The plants are characterized by significant spreading, so the planting density should not exceed 2-3 plants per sq.m. Before planting, 200 grams of humus are placed under each bush and a tablespoon of ash is thrown in.

Features of cultivation, planting and care

Caring for black cherry tomatoes is limited to a few simple rules. Among them:

Loosening. It is necessary to loosen the beds. This way, you will contribute to better oxygen penetration. Due to this, the roots will develop more correctly, and this is fraught with increased productivity.
Garter. Mandatory rule! These plants bear fruit in large clusters. The weight of the tomatoes causes the stem to break. The result is a damaged culture. You need to tie up bushes on time.
Feeding. The crop needs to be fed with organic matter. But don't do it often. Once a month will be enough.
Hardening. If the plant will grow in open ground in the future, this procedure must be carried out. From time to time, take the seedlings outside.
Harvesting. Harvest the fruits as soon as the desired shade appears. Don't delay this matter! Overripe vegetables quickly lose their taste.
Watering. Water the plant strictly at the root! Do not get water on the leaves. This will lead to illness.

Advice! Don't neglect regular watering.
