Description of the hybrid tomato Barin F1 and gardener reviews

Gardeners are curious about the Barin F1 tomato, which they've seen reviews of on online forums. Hybrid tomato varieties are popular among experienced farmers and amateur gardeners. This popularity is primarily due to their improved characteristics, higher yields, and disease resistance compared to conventional varieties.

The Barin variety is a mid-season variety with large fruits and can be grown in various regions of Russia. It's worth noting that this variety has been registered in the Russian Federation State Register as a tomato suitable for both private and commercial cultivation.

Characteristics of the variety

Brief characteristics and description of the variety:

• mid-season;
• the bushes are planted quite densely;
• suitable for growing in any conditions;
• characterized by tasty and dense fruits.

Tomatoes begin to bear fruit four months after the first shoots emerge. They should be transplanted into a greenhouse after the seedlings, which are kept in individual containers, are 55 days old. This variety can be grown both in greenhouse conditions (the main thing is that the greenhouse is not additionally heated) and in open ground.

Tomatoes need to be planted densely in the soil. Six to seven plants can be planted per square meter. These are determinate plants, meaning they grow only to a certain height. Typically, a tomato bush reaches 1 meter in height, sometimes lower. This saves time on care, as it doesn't require staking or shaping into multiple stems—only minor pinching is required at the very beginning of cultivation.

The bush itself is covered with dark green leaves, and its stem is quite strong and has short internodes.

Each inflorescence can produce 5-7 fruits. Tomatoes align on the first truss where they grow, forming a single cluster. A single plant can yield approximately 11 kg of fruit with proper care and climate conditions. Tomatoes are harvested at regular intervals.

Ripe tomatoes are characterized by excellent taste. They are quite large in shape: a single fruit can weigh up to 300 g, provided the plant is regularly cared for.

The fruit is a rich red color, round in shape, slightly flattened at the ends. The skin is glossy and smooth, preventing cracking. Inside, the tomato contains fleshy, dense, and sweet pulp, divided into several seed chambers: there are at least six of them. The tomato's sweet flavor alternates with a slight tartness.

Among the characteristics that distinguish this variety from others, the following can be highlighted:

1. Good immunity. High resistance to common diseases, including tobacco mosaic virus and verticillium wilt, which affect common tomato varieties.
2. Excellent yield and quality of fruit harvested from the bushes. Even under unfavorable climatic conditions, including dry periods, farmers can harvest a sufficient quantity of fruit.
3. Ripe fruits store well. They can be stored naturally in one place for about 1.5 months. The dense, smooth skin allows the harvest to be transported from one location to another without losing its appearance or flavor.

Reviews from gardeners

Evgeniya, Samara:

"The Barin tomato's mid-season ripening is perfect for our region. It stores well, so you can enjoy the tomatoes for several months after the first harvest. The flavor is sweet and sour, with a good balance. We had a good harvest last year, but we were lucky with the weather; we'll see what happens next."

Alevtina, Tyumen:

"I've been planting the Barin variety in the greenhouse for several years now. They all ripen evenly, producing tomatoes of uniform size. Growing them outdoors wasn't as successful, but there was a harvest, just smaller tomatoes. Otherwise, everyone likes them, we eat them, and we have no complaints."

Vladimir, Orel:

"Growing Barin tomatoes in a greenhouse is perfect. I didn't achieve the maximum yield, but I did manage to get five tomatoes per inflorescence. I'll try planting something else this year, but if it doesn't work out, I'll go back to Barin."
