Stepson problem

Stepsons are shoots from leaf axils. On the one hand, they thicken the crown and take away nutrients, on the other hand, they serve to form a bush (this is more related to tall varieties). In undersized bushes, stepchildren are limited in growth, often even fruit clusters form on them. If you want to remove the annoying "shoots", then this is done before the first flower brush - that's it, you don't have to bother the bush anymore and not injure it again.

Advantages of unsaturated tomatoes

For many gardeners who visit their dacha only on weekends and do not always have the opportunity to remove stepchildren on time, special low-growing varieties of tomatoes have been created that do not need pinching at all. They have other advantages as well:

• no need for garters (especially standard ones);
• early and mid-early ripening;
• amicable ripening of tomatoes;
• the ability to grow both indoors and outdoors.

Varieties of low-growing tomatoes that do not require pinching

There are plenty to choose from: there are large-fruited, and multi-colored, and balcony tomatoes that do not require pinching.

Line of varieties NEPAS from the "SeDec" company

Firm "SeDec" has released a line of low-growing varieties NEPAS with original fruits - NEPAS 4 heart-shaped, NEPAS 5, 6 - with a spout, NEPAS 8 carrot, NEPAS 13 - cream.

Frankly, when studying NEPAS novelties, I was confused by the information about the ripening time. For example, the ultra-early NEPAS 11 and 12 ripen in 90–95 and 95–100 days, respectively, while the early NEPAS 3 ripens in just 85–90 days. The lack of consensus on this issue in different sources is somewhat consoling, although the manufacturer could classify his tomatoes more accurately.

Each variety is strong in its own way:

• NEPAS 8 - heat resistant;
• NEPAS 11 - shade-tolerant;
• NEPAS 7, 13 - resistant to tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), apical rot and fruit cracking;

• NEPAS 12, 2 - resistant to stress.

Although, judging by the reviews, there are incidents.

Lilliputian tomatoes for the balcony and home

Dwarf varieties are decorative, it is customary to grow them as a pot culture on the balcony and in the room. Varieties with a height of 20-30 cm:

Instead of petunias - ampelous tomatoes

Ampel (hanging) varieties of tomatoes also do not require pinching, they look decorative:

• at Ampelka, with light shading, shoots do not stretch, the bush branches well;
• The red abundance of F1 has stunningly sweet fruits, hanging whips reaching a length of 60 cm.

In the East Siberian region, the harvest of the "Moldavian" exceeds the standard of the Siberian early ripening. Resists apical rot, bacterial spotting, macrosporiosis, but is affected by late blight, TMV.

The miracle of Siberia is early, the weight of the fruit is 200 g. It ripens in any weather, it is frost-resistant.

The F1 Gold Stream is known in Russia, Ukraine, and Moldova. Fruits are elongated, yellow-orange in color; thanks to the dense skin, they do not crack and withstand long transportation. The main enemies are not weather changes or even diseases, but the Colorado potato beetle.

Fruits of the Golden Stream tomato variety are collected in bunches of 6-8 pieces

Raspberry Viscount is an early variety up to 50 cm high, suitable for all regions. The main "disadvantage" is unanimously considered large size, which does not allow the fruit to be squeezed into the jar.

Tomatoes of the Raspberry Viscount variety are distinguished by the mild taste inherent in most varieties with pink fruits

Drought-resistant mid-season variety Danko is suitable for all regions. The height of the determinant is 50–55 cm. The fruit is heart-shaped, of excellent taste and weighing 96–300 g.

Alpha is a standard, ultra-early variety for all regions. The height of the bush does not exceed 55 cm. It is unpretentious to most fungal diseases, stress-resistant. Disadvantages: not stored, unsuitable for transportation.

Emerald standard - for all regions. My favorite, I will not hide. I was struck by the taste - sweet, almost fruity, without specific corrosive sourness. You can eat from a bush and without any seasonings. Do not tie up, because the trunk is very thick, the bush is stable, the tomatoes are evenly distributed in the crown. In Donbass, not a single disease was noticed throughout the season. Even the Colorado beetles avoided him. The mass of fruits exceeded that indicated in the State Register of Breeding Achievements of the Russian Federation - 140–150 versus 110 g. The disadvantage is not for conservation, because the flesh is very tender.

Although the fruits of the Emerald standard variety are green on the outside, but inside they are sweet, like wonderful fruits

So, the "dancing" around the unsuspecting tomatoes is canceled. The owner only has to work and water the garden, and the tomatoes will "make" the harvest themselves.
