Hybrid tomato varieties offer increased yields and improved disease resistance. The Krasnym Krasno F1 tomato, bred in Russia, is a hybrid recommended for cultivation both outdoors in warmer climates and in greenhouses and hotbeds. The latter option is preferable for growing this tomato variety.
Characteristic advantages and disadvantages
Krasnym Krasno tomatoes are considered an early-ripening, high-yielding tomato variety. Since this is a hybrid tomato, it is necessary to purchase seeds each year to ensure a consistent harvest. Harvesting seeds from tomatoes from the previous harvest is completely pointless. Due to splitting, the tomatoes lose their qualities already in the next generation. Reviews indicate a significant deterioration in all characteristics.
This characteristic is perhaps the main drawback, which is more than compensated for by numerous advantages. An extremely high yield—up to 8 kg per bush—the excellent taste of the resulting fruits with increased vitamin and sugar content, and high resistance to harsh climatic conditions and temperature fluctuations are just some of the variety's advantages.
Reviews from those who have planted the Krasnym Krasno tomato variety indicate that it is less susceptible to various diseases common to other nightshade varieties. Furthermore, the excellent shelf life of the fruit is considered a distinct advantage.
Gardeners recommend Krasnym Krasno tomatoes for both fresh use in a variety of salads and for canning. The beautiful fruits can be used to decorate a variety of dishes, and children will love the sweet taste of the juice from these tomatoes.
Appearance and dimensions
The color of the ripe fruits is deep red, which fully corresponds to the name of the variety.
The tomatoes are quite large. Their shape is round, slightly flattened. The average weight is 200-300 g, but some tomatoes can weigh up to 500 g. The thin but dense skin provides excellent protection against cracking.
The bush is quite powerful and relatively tall, reaching a height of 1.5 m. The leaves are medium-sized and dark green.
Since the Krasnym Krasno variety is a hybrid, the fruits grow in clusters of 5-7 pieces.
Features and care
Growing tomatoes should be approached responsibly, as only compliance with all planting rules will allow you to get a good harvest.
It's best to use 2-3-year-old seeds. Since the seed is purchased, disinfecting it yourself is not recommended. This is a mandatory pre-sale procedure. It's recommended to treat the seeds with a growth stimulant only.
Seedlings require nutritious soil. Everyone who has planted this variety recommends a mixture of turf and humus. Peat mixed with garden soil is also suitable. Adding ash or fertilizers, such as superphosphate, will further enhance the soil's nutritional value.
Sow the seeds 2 cm deep, spray them thoroughly with water, and cover with plastic wrap. For germination, the temperature must be at least 25°C.
Once the loops appear, the seedlings need to receive sufficient sunlight, so provide them with supplemental lighting on inclement days. High-power fluorescent lamps are suitable. When the first leaves appear, it is necessary to transplant them into separate pots and provide them with fertilizer. After 2 weeks, watering with fertilizer should be repeated.
Beginning in the second half of May, gradually harden off the seedlings. Then, around the beginning of June, transplant them into a hotbed, greenhouse, or open ground. Thoroughly loosen the soil and add ash or superphosphate to the holes.
Reviews show that a good yield can only be achieved by planting no more than 3 tomato bushes per 1 m² and a distance between rows of at least 1 m.
During cultivation, it is necessary to provide constant fertilization and weed regularly. Watering should be moderate. Irrigation should begin when the top layer of soil begins to dry out.
As the crop grows, it's important to shape young tomatoes and clusters. It's most effective to grow the Red Red variety on a single stem, removing side shoots and lower leaves as needed. Staking branches with large numbers of fruits and securing tall bushes is essential.
The Krasnym Krasno variety exhibits increased disease resistance, but preventative measures are a good idea. It's important to avoid using soil that has been planted after other nightshades, such as eggplant or potatoes.
Anyone who has planted the Krasnym Krasno tomato variety knows that, when all care instructions are followed, the results exceed expectations. The variety's characteristics and description, especially its yield, clearly demonstrate the merits of choosing these tomatoes for growing in your garden.
