The Siberian Apple tomato was bred by Russian agrobiologists. This mid-season, high-yielding variety is suitable for both greenhouse and open-field cultivation.

Advantages of the variety

Siberian Apple tomatoes are distinguished by their high yield and attractive appearance. This mid-early variety begins bearing fruit 115 days after uniform germination.

The variety's characteristics and description indicate that it can be grown both outdoors and in greenhouses. During the growing season, the bush grows to a height of 150-180 cm.

The plant bears a heavy load of fruits, weighing up to 200 g. At technical maturity, the tomatoes are whitish in color. As they ripen, the fruits acquire a pinkish hue with a pearlescent sheen.

Tomatoes with dense, fleshy flesh retain their marketable qualities on the vine and during storage. The fruits contain high concentrations of vitamin C and sugar, which contribute to their sweet and sour flavor. When cut horizontally, four to six chambers containing seeds are visible.

The average yield is 9 kg per square meter. This variety is disease-resistant, making it popular among gardeners.

Cultivation techniques

Seeds for seedlings are sown 50-60 days before the expected planting date. To accelerate seed germination, improve crop health, and ensure better fruit set, it is recommended to treat the seeds with growth stimulants.

For seed germination, maintaining an optimal temperature of 23 to 25°C is necessary. When two true leaves form, transplanting is done. Peat pots are used for this purpose, and the seedlings are then transferred to their permanent location.

When transplanting, plants are planted deep into the soil to the level of the cotyledon leaves, which promotes the development of a strong root system. Seedlings are transplanted into the ground after the end of spring frosts. When planted in their permanent location, plant three plants per square meter.

Further care for the seedlings includes timely weeding and soil loosening. To ensure healthy plant development and high yields per bush, it is recommended to apply complex mineral fertilizers to the roots.

The bushes are trained into 1-2 stems, excess shoots are removed, and they are tied to a support or trellis. To ensure optimal soil moisture, non-woven black fiber is used.

Mulching the soil prevents the growth of weeds and protects the surface layer of soil from drying out.

Lyudmila Egorova, 56 years old, Biysk.

I grew Siberian Apple tomatoes last season. I planted the bushes in a greenhouse. Throughout the growing season, I maintained optimal temperatures and humidity levels. The variety lives up to its description, producing high yields and bearing fruit for a long time. Ripe tomatoes have a neat shape, beautiful color, and excellent flavor.
