Description of the Supersteak tomato

Many gardeners prefer hybrid varieties that can thrive in challenging weather conditions and are resistant to pests. The Supersteak f1 tomato is such a variety.

Below are reviews of this tomato. Breeders have created a tomato variety that is both fruit-bearing and climate-resistant.

Among the main characteristics of Supersteak tomatoes, it is worth noting the following:

1. It grows in any conditions, so bushes can be planted in open areas, in greenhouses, or in unheated shelters made of film.
2. This is a mid-season variety. The fruits begin to ripen 3.5 months after planting the seeds. After 100, maximum 110 days, the tomatoes can be harvested from the bushes.
3. The height of the plants, according to reviews, is 2 m, although summer residents note that the bushes can have a smaller height, which varies between 0.8 and 1 m.
4. Fruit clusters form during the bush's growth. A single plant can have up to eight clusters. Supersteak tomatoes begin to set fruit two weeks earlier than other hybrid varieties.
5. Growing should be done by pinching out 2 stems, which will allow you to get a larger number of fruits and a strong bush.

Thus, these tomatoes have excellent performance characteristics, which allows them to be grown in greenhouses or open ground.

The Supersteak F1 tomato variety is particularly noteworthy for its large fruit. The average weight of a single fruit ranges from 0.4 to 0.5 kg, although breeders' reviews indicate that tomatoes can reach up to 1 kg. The fruit is distinguished by its dense interior, and the flesh is quite firm and juicy.

Tomatoes have a sweet, slightly sugary flavor. These large tomatoes are primarily used in salads, adjika, tomato juice, and canned salads. Canning Supersteak whole isn't always possible, as the tomatoes are large and don't fit in a jar, although they are suitable for barrel pickling.

Advantages of this variety:

• excellent combination of high fertility and large fruits;
• resistance to weather changes, which allows the crop to be grown at any time of the year;
• resistance to plant diseases such as late blight, bacterial spot, root-knot nematode, and cladosporiosis.

Growing Supersteak Tomatoes

To ensure this tomato variety takes root in your garden, you need to follow these planting and care guidelines:

1. Before planting, treat the seeds in a weak solution of potassium permanganate, and then rinse them in clean water.
2. The seeds should be planted in March, burying them in the soil to a depth of 3 cm.
3. Purchase Superstake fertilizer from the store to regularly feed the plant.

Tomatoes should be planted between April and May. If the greenhouse is heated, the seedlings should be placed in the ground in April; if not, wait until May. The average age of seedlings before planting should be two months (within 65 days).

Bushes are not planted close together so that they have plenty of freedom to grow and do not interfere with each other. When the clusters begin to form, trim the lower leaves. This will limit the growth of the bushes; otherwise, they may grow too large, which will drain the plant's energy, and the fruit will be small and spiky.

Reviews

According to gardeners' reviews, Supersteak tomatoes should be watered regularly, using only warm water.
