Description of the Cetus Pink tomato and characteristics of the breeding variety

The Cetus Pink tomato was developed by Spanish breeders. This variety thrives in Russian regions. Farmers comment on its unusual flavor, and experts claim it contains more vitamins than regular red tomatoes. This variety is cultivated not only by farmers and amateur gardeners, but also by farms specializing in fruit and vegetable growing.

What is the Cetus Pink tomato?

Hybrid tomato varieties invariably attract the attention of farmers, as they possess unique properties. Cetus Pink tomatoes are no exception. They differ from other tomatoes in their unusual color and superior flavor.

The following main characteristics of tomatoes can be identified:

1. Improved fruit quality—they have a denser skin and a rounded shape. The tomato's color is rich, with a raspberry-colored top and pink flesh.
2. Good yield. Cetus is an early-ripening tomato that is highly resistant to the main diseases affecting nightshades and can withstand high temperatures and drought.
3. The fruits grow in clusters, with a maximum of 8 fruits. The inflorescences are resistant to adverse conditions, ensuring a good fruit set, so the first cluster can produce about 5 tomatoes.
4. Easy to care for. The bush can reach 2 meters in height, yet the tomato remains compact. The bushes have few leaves, significantly reducing the farmer's labor costs during cultivation.
5. They travel well in transit. Their thick skin and dense fruit walls prevent cracking during long-distance transport. These characteristics help tomatoes last longer.

Growing

Breeders have developed a variety with a well-developed root system. Cetus tomatoes are suitable for year-round greenhouse cultivation. After planting the seeds in containers, the first harvest takes about 3-4 months. From seed germination and transplanting the seedlings to the first fruits, it takes 60-65 days.

If you follow a long planting rotation, when seedlings are planted in early or mid-spring, the yield can reach 25 kg per square meter in September. If you plant seedlings in a short rotation, you can quickly obtain 4-6 fruiting inflorescences, but the fruits will be small, yielding 15 kg per square meter.

The plant does not require special care, but some basic rules should still be followed to increase the amount of harvested crop. On average, the weight of one fruit is about 270 g, and in some cases tomatoes can reach a weight of 300 g.

The soil in which the tomato plants are grown must be kept constantly moist, and the plants themselves must be securely supported; otherwise, the stems risk breaking under the weight of the tomatoes. When planting seedlings, it's important to maintain the minimum spacing between plants—this also plays a significant role in preserving and increasing the yield.
