Next, the characteristics and description of the variety will be presented.

The main features and qualities of the Raspberry Cup tomato are:

• dwarfism - the bushes grow up to 75 cm, they are classified as a determinate species;
• mid-season - you can enjoy ripe fruits 115 days after planting the seeds;
• endurance - tolerates heat, cold and high humidity well;
• unpretentiousness;
• the presence of an intermediate inflorescence;
• high yield - 9 kg of harvest is collected from 1 m²;
• resistance to nightshade diseases.

The fruit is round and slightly flattened. The flesh is firm and sweet. The average weight of a tomato is 200 g. Ripe tomatoes are raspberry or red in color.
The hardiness and versatility of this variety allows it to be grown in almost all regions of our country, including rainy areas.

Growing and caring for the plant

A key feature of growing this tomato variety is planting from seedlings. No matter how hardy the Kubyshka tomatoes are, you shouldn't sow the seeds directly into the soil. When planting seedlings, it's best to choose a southern location to ensure the tomatoes receive sufficient warmth and light.

When planting in a permanent place, 6 seedlings can be placed per 1 m², maintaining a distance of 60-70 cm between holes. Water the plant depending on the soil condition. If the soil is dry, you can safely water it. To retain moisture longer, cover the soil under the bush with dry leaves and straw. Mulch the soil.

An important part of plant care is weeding or loosening the soil. What does it do? It enriches the soil with oxygen, removes excess moisture, and strengthens the roots, allowing them to actively grow deeper. Weeding promotes healthy growth and reduces the risk of plant disease.

Gardeners' reviews of the Kubyshka tomato

In their reviews, vegetable growers share their personal experiences growing tomatoes. Their comments help many to objectively evaluate this variety and decide whether to grow it.

Valentin Sergeevich, 57 years old, St. Petersburg:

"As you know, the soil in our region isn't the most favorable for tomato planting, and high humidity is definitely not ideal for growing this crop. But the Kubyshka tomatoes withstood both temperature fluctuations and other adverse conditions. The harvest was a great success, with 15 kg of tomatoes harvested from the bed. And they tasted excellent. The fruits were sweet and juicy."

Raisa Petrovna, 52 years old, Voronezh:

"When I saw the abundant seedlings, it was immediately clear the harvest would be good. Even though the summer was cool and rainy, the tomatoes produced a bountiful harvest. They were trained to form a single stem. The variety is very good and hardy, so I recommend it to everyone."

An interesting review from a gardener who planted tomatoes in open ground.

Olga, 41 years old, Moscow:

"Since late blight primarily occurs due to high humidity, I was worried the plant would get sick. The summer turned out to be very rainy, and the humidity was high. I harvested the tomatoes in early August, and they ripened beautifully in the boxes. The harvest turned out to be quite good. Before planting the seedlings, I added superphosphate, ash, and fertilizer granules containing a balanced set of essential minerals to the holes. I used mown grass and nettles as mulch. I decided that next year I'll sow the seeds for seedlings not in March, as usual, but in late February, and I'll grow the seedlings exclusively in a greenhouse."
