An interesting situation is happening with tomato hybrids – many experienced gardeners, especially those who grow tomatoes for themselves and their families, are in no hurry to grow them. And it’s not even so much that the seeds have to be bought anew each time. But rather, that, no matter how they are touted in advertising descriptions, when fresh, the taste of few tomato hybrids can compete with the taste of varietal tomatoes, especially large-fruited ones. And if tomatoes are stored for a long time and are transportable, then they certainly have more to do with the “rubber and plastic world” than with the garden environment. And for those who sell tomatoes on the market and strive to have regular customers, the taste of the tomatoes they sell cannot but matter, so gardeners bypass hybrids, even despite their good yields and disease resistance.
Tomato Tyler f1 refutes many of the prevailing ideas about the properties of hybrid tomatoes and is a fruitful and incredibly tasty hybrid. In addition, it has many more interesting properties and characteristics. This article is devoted to its description and properties.
History of appearance in Our Country
Perhaps, especially for all summer residents who seek not only to grow tomatoes for themselves, but also to sell their surplus crops, about five years ago seeds of hybrid tomatoes from the Japanese company Kitano appeared on the seed market.
They were really sweet, juicy with a real spirit of tomatoes, but at the same time they were well stored and easily moved for many hundreds of kilometers. True, they originally appeared on the territory of Ukraine, and for the most part, gardeners could only envy and salivate, hoping to get such interesting seeds.
Of course, as in any business, there were disappointments and successes, but on the whole, the description of the properties of these hybrids was confirmed. And now gardeners have the opportunity to choose not only tomato varieties according to their taste properties, but also to try various Kitano hybrids. Initially, these hybrids received only a numerical designation, and only after some time the most popular of them acquired their own name. This is what happened with the Tyler tomato, which, according to consumers in Ukraine, has occupied the first place in popularity among indeterminate tomatoes in recent years.
Hybrid description
Tomato Tyler belongs to the indeterminate group of tomatoes, which means that tomato bushes are characterized by unlimited growth and development, including in height. Kitano experts strongly recommend using their indeterminate hybrids only for greenhouse cultivation. Outdoors, their behavior and yields can be unpredictable.
Tomato bushes are quite powerful with a good and strong root system. Leaves – rich green – abundantly cover all the stems.
By the way, the tomatoes of this hybrid are formed on the brushes, and with a plentiful and balanced diet, up to 9-10 fruits can form on the brush.
Interestingly, in good conditions, the Tyler tomato is able to lay even double brushes of 12-14 tomatoes each.
In terms of ripening, the hybrid belongs to medium-early tomatoes. On average, he needs 95-100 days from germination until the moment when the tomatoes in the first brush ripen. In greenhouses, when creating suitable conditions, it can begin to bear fruit at the earliest possible date.
In this case, all the energy will go not to further growth, but to the accelerated formation of fruits.
A feature of Tyler’s tomato is the exactingness of enhanced nutrition. Therefore, the yield of tomatoes is largely determined by the growing conditions, as well as the quantity and quality of top dressing. On average, from one square meter of plantings, you can get 8-12 kg of tomatoes.
The Tyler hybrid is distinguished by good resistance to many diseases – fusarium, verticillosis, tomato mosaic virus, bacterial cancer.
It is distinguished by excellent fruit set even under stressful conditions (low temperature, low light or, conversely, heat). And if the ovaries have already formed, then even despite the heat, the tomato brushes will continue to ripen. Given these properties, as well as its early ripeness, Tyler tomato can be grown twice a season – in late spring, early summer and late summer, autumn. This is especially attractive for commercial tomato growers as there is an opportunity to get a good price for tomatoes during the off-season.
