Description of the Northern Blush tomato, characteristics and advantages of the variety

The Severny Rumyants tomato is suitable for cultivation in regions with harsh climates and short, cool summers. This variety is recommended for growing in open ground, under plastic covers, and in unheated greenhouses.

Benefits of Tomatoes

The characteristics and description of this variety, developed early this century, indicate the plant's suitability for cultivation in cool climates. The tomatoes ripen 90-100 days after the first leaves form on the planting material.

Description of plants:

• The bushes belong to the type of plants with limited growth, do not require top removal, and are resistant to temperature drops during the period of shoot growth and crop ripening.
• The foliage of the crop is emerald in color, medium in length, typical for tomatoes.
• Simple flowers are collected in racemose inflorescences.
• The first flower stalk appears at the level of the first true leaf.
• A bush can form 5-7 clusters.
• The shoots are resistant to diseases.
• Since tomatoes begin to ripen in mid-summer, the bushes usually do not have time to be affected by late blight.
• The crop has above-average resistance to other diseases.

The yield reaches 6-6.5 kg per square meter. Tomatoes ripen almost simultaneously. Unripe tomatoes are light green, and ripe tomatoes are red. Fruit weight reaches 90-130 g. In cooking, tomatoes are used for fresh salads and pickling.

Cultivation techniques

I begin preparing the planting material two months before planting outdoors. In colder regions, planting occurs at the end of May.

Growing the crop involves training the bush into three stems. This is to ensure all the fruits ripen during the short summer season.

The plant does not require removal of excess foliage. Erect, low shoots (0.8–0.9 m) are secured to additional support.

The cultivation techniques are standard, as for all tomatoes. This includes timely watering, hilling, and application of complex fertilizers according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

Recommendations and opinions of vegetable growers

The Severny Rumyants tomato variety, which reviews indicate is highly resistant to low temperatures and can be grown in regions with harsh climates, is popular among gardeners.

Valery Permyakov, 58 years old, Biysk:

"I love growing tomatoes, so I try to choose varieties that ripen within a season. The Severny Rumyants tomato caught my eye due to its characteristics and the ability to grow a harvest outdoors. To ensure the quality of the seed, I purchased seeds from a specialty store. After treating the seeds with a potassium permanganate solution and following proper growing conditions, I achieved almost 100% germination. During cultivation, I earthed them up, watered them, and applied a complex fertilizer. I was pleased with the even ripening of the tomatoes, which perfectly matched the photo on the packaging. The tomatoes have excellent flavor and are medium firm."

Olga Sinitsyna, 49 years old, Nizhny Tagil:

"As a novice vegetable grower, I selected seedling seeds based on the photo on the packaging and took into account the growing conditions. The Severny Rumyants tomato caught my eye due to its appearance and ability to grow in low temperatures. I sowed the seeds for seedlings at the end of March. I planted them in a peat mixture, sprinkled wood ash on top, and watered them with a drip sprinkler. The plants quickly germinated in the warm conditions. I transplanted them to their permanent location in early June. They quickly established themselves. This is a good variety; the leaves don't curl as they grow. The fruits set and ripen almost simultaneously. The tomatoes are slightly rounded, ribbed, and have a pleasant flavor, making them perfect for fresh salads."
