Tomatoes are tasty, beautiful and healthy. But the trouble is, we don’t consume them directly from the garden for long, and although they are tasty in canned form, they, firstly, lose a lot of useful substances, and secondly, their taste is very different from fresh ones. Not everyone has the opportunity to dry or freeze tomatoes – this is a troublesome business, you can’t just cut the tomatoes into circles and put them in the sun or put them in the freezer. Of course, you can go to the nearest supermarket – they sell fresh tomatoes all year round, as if they had just been plucked from a bush, but the prices bite.
Recently, our eyes have been attracted by tomatoes picked with brushes – they are right asking for the table: beautiful, one to one, smooth, shiny, almost flawless. These are specially bred hybrids with excellent keeping quality. Today they will be the heroes of our article – cluster tomatoes for greenhouses. They are pleasant to serve at the table at any time of the year, besides, you can grow them yourself in a greenhouse in any region. Particularly relevant information about carpal hybrids will be for those who grow tomatoes for sale – their price is always high, regardless of the season, and growing them is not much more difficult than other tomato varieties.
Features of carpal tomatoes
Today, breeders pay special attention to the creation of carpal hybrids. And before we grew tomatoes collected in a bunch, but they looked beautiful only on a bush. Their ripening was uneven, by the time the lower tomatoes turned red, the upper ones were plucked long ago – if we left them, they would either fall to the ground or become soft and rotted. And how I would like to pick a beautiful bunch, completely consisting of red juicy fruits.
Modern brush tomatoes are different:
- Friendly ripening of fruits. When the lowest one ripens, the upper one still rests on the brush, retains high taste and commercial characteristics. Tomatoes can stay on the bush for a month without overripe.
- Strong attachment of tomatoes. We tear them off with a brush, transfer them, shake them. If they have to go on sale, we transport them, sometimes over long distances. They should hold well on the stem.
- Evenness in size – if the tomatoes are “different-sized”, they will look worse and cost, respectively, cheaper.
- The absence of a crease of the brush, which happens especially often in greenhouses under the weight of fruits – after the formation of a crease, the fruits simply do not pour;
- High resistance to fruit cracking.
In addition, tomatoes must be early ripening, high-yielding, resistant to diseases and pests, and have good taste. An added bonus of growing these tomatoes is that they often don’t need to be harvested.
Benefits of greenhouse growing tomatoes
Usually cluster tomatoes are grown in a greenhouse, only some varieties can be grown in the ground, and even those are exclusively in the south. Of course, growing tomatoes in greenhouses has a number of disadvantages, but there are also advantages:
- It is easier to deal with diseases and pests in a greenhouse, drugs in greenhouse conditions work more effectively;
- You can exercise full control over the growing conditions. In the greenhouse, we are less dependent on weather conditions;
- Good greenhouses usually allow two crops;
- Tall indeterminate tomatoes are best grown in greenhouses – they are easier to tie up there, and there is no danger that a strong wind or an animal will break a fragile stem.
This is especially important for the northern regions, where even early ripening low-growing tomatoes do not always have time to ripen in the open field.
Carpus tomato hybrids
Let’s see which varieties of carpal tomatoes are the best for greenhouses. If in the south tomatoes bear excellent fruit in the ground, they are planted in a greenhouse exclusively for very early or late harvest, then in the north the situation is different. Despite the fact that tomatoes are grown in greenhouses there, weather conditions still affect their growth. Low temperatures and cloudy weather do not have the best effect on the development of even greenhouse vegetables – not every greenhouse is equipped with central heating and uninterrupted electric lighting. In addition, any additional energy costs affect the cost of tomatoes. Here we need hybrids that can successfully grow and bear fruit even at low temperatures with a lack of lighting.
Often tomatoes suitable for planting in southern regions are not suitable for cold climates. But it would be wrong to think that southern varieties cannot be grown in the north, but by moving the northern varieties to the south, we will get a miracle harvest. We may not get it at all. Northern tomatoes simply will not survive the hot southern summer – they are simply not intended for it.
We will consider exclusively carpal greenhouse hybrids, and we will pay more attention to those tomatoes that grow in cold climates.
