Description of the variety of tomatoes of the Mongolian dwarf
Mongolian dwarf varieties have been working on tomato breeding in Siberia, so tomatoes of this variety are great for harsh climates with short summers and temperature fluctuations. The main advantages of the Mongolian dwarf are frost resistance, ease of maintenance and high productivity.
Characteristics of tomatoes
The variety belongs to early ripening, its height is 50 cm. The Mongolian dwarf bush has a bizarre shape. As soon as the trunk reaches 20 cm, it begins to tilt abruptly, then new stepsons are formed on it, which later also bend. As a result, the bush grows lush and creeping.
Mongolian dwarf tomatoes large. The weight of one fruit reaches 200 g. It is a rich red color, fleshy, and has a pleasant taste.
According to the description, the variety does not need pinching and garter.
The variety tolerates temperature fluctuations
Landing rules
Seeds are sorted and disinfected before planting. The best time to plant seeds is February. The date of planting is calculated so that already in May, the seedlings begin to bloom in the ground.
When transplanting into the ground, observe the distance between the bushes, taking into account their shape. It should be at least 60 cm. The calculation of the planting is as follows: for each bush 0.5 sq. m of land.
The variety begins to bear fruit early and, with proper care, is able to hold out until the first frost. About 10 kg are harvested from one bush per season.
Care rules
The beds are raised so that the branches of the bush do not reach the ground. If the soil is low in nutrients, fertilize is regularly applied. The variety tolerates dry soil, but prolonged drought affects its productivity.
Mulch the soil before planting: this will protect the fruit from attack by slugs.
When growing tomatoes, a fertilization schedule should be drawn up based on the quality of the soil for planting seedlings.
If the Mongolian dwarf is grown in a greenhouse, ventilation must be provided or the yield will be low.
