Breeders are constantly working to create high-yielding and easy-to-grow tomatoes. One of these is the new Znatny Tolstyak f1 (UD) tomato.
This tomato is considered new to the Russian market. However, it has already proven itself in the gardens of many Russian gardeners. This hybrid requires little maintenance and is suitable even for beginners.
A distinctive feature of this variety is its ability to produce crops multiple times. However, this requires specific conditions, primarily suitable humidity and temperature. If you're just starting out, you should limit your tomato planting to the warmer months. The Znatny Tolstyak is ideal for this purpose, as it yields a substantial harvest with minimal cultivation.
Characteristics of the hybrid
The variety's description and characteristics indicate that it can be grown as either an annual or a perennial. In either case, the tomato will be medium-sized and classified as semi-determinate. The bushes won't be too low. Semi-determinate varieties are convenient because they don't require much labor from the gardener, yet they produce a large number of fruits.
This variety is well suited for growing outdoors or in greenhouses. The plants will develop best if grown from seedlings. To do this, be sure to purchase seeds directly from the grower. If you use seeds from existing tomatoes, they will lose their properties, which is typical of hybrids.
The Znatny Tolstyak f odin variety is considered disease-resistant. Experts recommend soaking the seeds in a weak solution of potassium permanganate before sowing. Subsequently, spraying the plants against diseases will be unnecessary. Hardened seedlings are best for transplanting to a permanent location.
You should periodically take the boxes outside, and leave the seedlings near the beds a couple of days before transplanting. This will allow the plants to adapt to the new conditions more quickly.
After the seedlings have been moved to a permanent location, it is necessary to periodically apply fertilizer, water the bushes thoroughly, and loosen the soil. Agricultural technology rules require mandatory weed removal.
The Znatny Tolstyak variety produces bushes of medium height, yet quite lush. Removing excess foliage and unnecessary side shoots will significantly increase the plant's energy for producing large fruits. Furthermore, side shoot removal can speed up the ripening process.
The Noble Fat Man is considered an early tomato, so ripe fruits can be harvested as early as 90 days after sowing the seeds for seedlings.
Properly formed tomato plants can be planted fairly close together. The maximum density per square meter is 6 plants. However, experts recommend planting no more than 4 tomatoes per square meter. This will allow the tomatoes to receive more sunlight, which is important for a high-quality and healthy harvest.
The Znatny Tolstyak variety is considered easy to grow. If you follow minimal cultivation guidelines, you can harvest up to 5 kg of tomatoes from each bush. This is an excellent yield for a medium-height plant.
Description of fruits
You can harvest the Znatny Tolstyak (Noble Fat Man) vines as early as four months after sowing the seeds for seedlings. At this time, the plant begins to produce beautiful, uniform fruits with firm, smooth skin and juicy flesh. The tomatoes are red when ripe.
The average weight of a single tomato can reach 300 g. However, with proper fertilization and careful care, tomatoes weighing up to half a kilogram can be grown. Such tomatoes are most often found on the lower clusters.
The fruits of the Znatny Tolstyak are very pleasant to the taste, sweet but with a hint of tartness. These fruits are characterized by a very pleasant fruity aftertaste and a distinct tomato aroma.
The fruit will be abundant and can be used for a variety of purposes. They're perfect for making vegetable salads, as gardeners have reported. But they can also be used for canning. The best option is to process the fruit into juice or sauce.
