What is the Tsar's Branch tomato?

Those who have planted the Tsarskaya Vetka tomato variety have left positive reviews. The variety's description suggests that gardeners expend minimal effort to achieve high yields.

Detailed characteristics of tomatoes:

1. Tsar's Branch tomatoes ripen in just 3-3.5 months—this is the time from sowing the seeds in the ground, planting the seedlings in the soil in a greenhouse or garden bed, and until the tomatoes ripen.
2. The variety is determinate, so the stems do not need to be pinched.
3. The shoots, as noted in gardeners' reviews, grow strong, sturdy, and erect.
4. The height of plants varies between 75-95 cm.
5. The plants do not branch much and grow compactly.
6. There are very few leaves on the bushes, they are bright emerald in color.

The early ripening of the fruit helps prevent late blight, which almost always affects nightshade crops in August. The plant is also resistant to other diseases. To prevent bushes from being damaged by infections and microbes, you need to carefully monitor the plants.

It's recommended to plant the bushes in open ground, although some gardeners prefer to plant them under easily removable plastic film. If the seedlings are properly hardened off, they can be planted in a plastic greenhouse without fear of frost damage.

Let's look at the description of the Tsarskaya Vetka variety's fruits. A single bush can produce up to seven ovaries, which will then produce the fruit.

How to grow tomatoes?

When growing this variety, you can harvest up to 9 kg of tomatoes from a single bush, but this requires timely training of the plant. It is recommended to train the plant into 2-3 stems. Sow the seeds in containers with soil approximately 2-2.5 months before planting outdoors or in a greenhouse. Place the seeds in small pots, tightly packed with soil. It is important to maintain a stable temperature, moderate humidity, and access to natural light.

The yield depends on the following factors:

1. It is necessary to water and feed the plants regularly.
2. It is necessary to loosen the soil.
3. Weeds and infected leaves are removed to prevent the entire bush from becoming diseased.
4. Plant 3 to 4 plants per square meter to ensure the bushes receive sufficient nutrients from the soil. Planting more bushes will make it difficult to loosen the soil, fertilize it, and harvest fruit from the branches.
