Description of the Chocolate Miracle tomato and recommendations for growing the variety

The Chocolate Miracle tomato is one of the new varieties developed by breeders, boasting an unusual coloring. This variety was created specifically to be easy to grow even for inexperienced gardeners.

What is the Chocolate Miracle tomato?

Chocolate Miracle bushes are limited in growth, making them a determinate variety. They can be grown both outdoors and in greenhouses. In the former, the tomato will not grow more than 80 cm tall, while in the latter, it can reach a height of 1.5 m. Chocolate Miracle bushes begin to bear fruit just under 100 days after sowing. This variety is quite productive. Approximately 15 kg of ripe fruit can be harvested from 1 m².

The variety's characteristics and description, as well as reviews from those who have planted and attempted to grow this Chocolate variety in their gardens, will help you decide whether this tomato variety is worth your attention. The bush has few leaves, allowing gardeners to grow it in a greenhouse without any problems. The lack of leaves eliminates the need for additional shade.

If you want to grow large tomatoes, be aware that side-sonning is necessary. Experienced farmers recommend training the bush into one or two stems, periodically removing excess shoots. Gardeners' descriptions of the variety suggest that tomatoes grown outdoors are tastier. The fruits won't keep ripe for long—this is one of the downsides of growing this variety.

Description of the Chocolate Miracle tomato:

1. The bushes of this variety are small in height, but have a powerful root system and strong stems.
2. A small number of small leaves allow growing tomatoes to receive the maximum amount of light.
3. Large round fruits, slightly flattened at the poles.
4. On average, the weight of one fruit can reach 300 g, but if the maximum number of growing standards are observed, fruits can be grown up to 800 g each.
5. Chocolate Miracle tomatoes have a chocolate-brown-red color, juicy, meaty flesh, and a sweet flavor. They have a small number of seeds.

This variety offers excellent yield. While it's relatively easy to care for and grow, it yields a large quantity of juicy fruits with only minimal farming practices. Growing this tomato is no different from other varieties: first, prepare seedlings, and then, after all danger of frost has passed, transplant them to their permanent location.

This variety has versatile culinary uses. Because ripe fruits don't keep well fresh, it's best to consider alternative storage methods, such as processing the fruit into tomato sauce or juice, canning, or pickling for the winter. Tomatoes also make delicious salads, appetizers, sauces, and side dishes for hot meat dishes.

How to Grow Tomatoes

It's recommended to sow seedlings in mid-spring. To ensure rapid germination, cover the boxes with plastic wrap and place them in a warm location. As soon as the seedlings emerge, remove the plastic wrap and place the tomatoes in a well-lit area.

During the first week after the seedlings emerge, harden off the seedlings by placing them indoors at a cool temperature. A week before you plan to transplant the tomatoes to their permanent location, harden them off by gradually moving them outdoors and increasing the time they stay there.

When planting, allow a maximum of three plants per square meter. Water moderately, daily, and in the evenings, avoiding overwatering. Overwatering can cause the fruit to crack. Don't forget about mineral fertilizer, but before applying it, carefully read the instructions on the package.

It's important to loosen the soil as needed. It's important to keep the roots aerated. Remove weeds from the soil, as they can slow the growth of plants and fruit.

Mineral fertilizers must be applied 3 times during the entire growing season of Chocolate Miracle tomatoes.
