Description of the Sasher F1 tomato and gardener reviews

Many gardeners ask how to grow the Sasher F1 tomato, which they find reviews of on online forums. Gardeners call the variety exotic due to its unusual black color and resistance to pests, diseases, and temperature fluctuations.

This variety was developed by breeders at the Turkish company Yuksel Seeds, who, through experimental breeding, succeeded in producing an early-ripening, indeterminate tomato variety. Its key characteristics include high yields, dark fruit, and clustered stems. Tomato plants can be grown outdoors or in greenhouses. The location of the seedlings does not affect yield.

Characteristics of the Sasher variety

Sasher F1 is a genetically healthy variety, resistant to any pests or diseases. It grows best in the central regions of the country, where greenhouses are recommended, and in the southern regions, where the Sasher variety can be safely planted outdoors. Even under extreme growing conditions, fruit set is not affected, allowing for a high yield per plant.

The main characteristics of this hybrid tomato variety include:

1. The bush grows very tall, so it must be supported as it grows. Trellis and stakes are best.
2. The plant needs to be formed into 2 stems to obtain a larger number of fruits.
3. The fruits are formed in clusters, on which 5 to 7 tomatoes ripen.
4. The fruits ripen evenly and harmoniously.
5. Tomatoes are covered with smooth, glossy skin.
6. The fruits are dense.
7. Tomatoes are oval and even in shape.
8. The weight of 1 tomato varies from 150-170 to 250 g.

When tomatoes ripen, they turn a dark brown-red color. This is due to the fruit's high content of lycopene, a special carotenoid pigment. Doctors recognize it as a powerful antioxidant that helps prevent cancer and atherosclerosis. Sasher tomatoes have a long shelf life if stored properly after picking.

There is no need to plant bushes densely in the ground or greenhouse. Planting 2-3 plants per square meter is sufficient. Seeds for seedlings should be sown in pots, taking into account the specific planting conditions. Sowing is usually done in late January or early February, and seedlings can be planted in the ground as early as April.

It's important for the plant to have eight true leaves before planting. Add mineral and organic fertilizers to the hole, and water with a nutrient solution.

Watering should be regular from now on. To prevent additional moisture from interfering with root development, apply water under the bush when the top layer of soil has dried out.

Gardeners' reviews

On specialized forums and websites, you can read reviews from gardeners and vegetable growers who have grown this hybrid tomato variety.

Anna, Moscow region:

"I've been growing the Sasher variety for several years now and recommend it to other gardeners. The fruits keep for a long time, they make excellent, tasty salads, and the tomatoes have a firm flesh that doesn't release much juice when cooked. The bushes need to be supported with sturdy stakes to prevent wind and rain from blowing the fruits away."

Vadim, Pskov region:

"I'd like to highlight the unique flavor of Sascher tomatoes; their flesh is very juicy and tender. The fruits ripen quickly, as the description on the package confirms. Even though tomato seeds are expensive, I recommend planting them as seedlings for every gourmet."

Tatyana, Moscow:

"I've been growing the Sasher variety in a greenhouse for three years, and I reap large harvests every year. They have a long shelf life, are resistant to numerous diseases and temperature fluctuations, transport well, and are suitable for pickling and canning."
