Description of the Polonez F1 hybrid tomato and growing recommendations

The Polonez F1 tomato is an early, first-generation hybrid, designed for outdoor cultivation. Its large, round fruits have a firm, uniform texture and are suitable for fresh and processed use.

Advantages of a hybrid

The characteristics of this tomato indicate its suitability for cultivation in southern regions. A distinctive feature of these hybrids is the abundance of strong foliage, which protects the ovaries from excess sunlight.

Hybrids intended for southern regions, due to the warm season lasting 4.5 to 5 months, differ in the ripening time of their fruits. Varieties adapted for cultivation in northern regions quickly develop vegetative mass. The vines produce ovaries, ensuring a nearly simultaneous harvest.

Despite the variety's rapid growth, its fruits cannot be cultivated in southern regions. Ripening tomatoes can get burned and lose their flavor and appearance.

The Polonaise tomato variety was bred by Dutch specialists. During the growing season, the bush reaches a height of 0.8–0.85 cm. The stems do not require shaping or pinching. Indoors, tomatoes reach 1 m in height and require support from trellises or stakes.

The erect stems of this variety are strong and can withstand the weight of the fruit.

Description of fruits:

• Ripe tomatoes, as seen in the photo, are round in shape, with a smooth surface, without ribbing, and a bright red color.
• The skin of the fruit is thin and easily separates from the pulp.
• When cut horizontally, the presence of 4-6 seed chambers is observed.
• The average weight of fruits is 200 g.
• Due to their excellent taste, tomatoes are canned and used fresh.

The Polonaise tomato, described as early ripening (2.5 months), is characterized by high yields. A single bush can yield approximately 5 kg of fruit, and when grown indoors, 7-8 kg.

The main valuable quality of the variety is its resistance to the main diseases affecting tomatoes.

Agricultural technology of cultivation

The Polonaise tomato, a hybrid, is grown from seedlings. Using seeds collected from the fruit does not guarantee a quality harvest the following season.

The seeds have a 100% germination rate. For sowing, use containers with humus-enriched soil. The seeds are placed 1.5 cm deep in moistened soil, watered with a drip spray, and covered with plastic wrap until the plants emerge.

When true leaves are forming, the plants are pricked out. The formed bush is planted in open ground or transferred to a greenhouse. The bushes are spaced at a rate of 3 plants per square meter.

Caring for the crop involves timely watering, loosening the soil, and periodic application of mineral fertilizers.

Opinions and recommendations from gardeners

Polonez F1 tomatoes, whose reviews point to their positive qualities, have become popular among vegetable growers. Bushes of this variety are often found in garden beds.

Mikhail Kramarov, 61 years old, Novokubansk:

"The Polonez tomato caught my eye at the seed store due to its appearance and the ability to grow a harvest in natural conditions. I started the hybrid seeds as seedlings, then transplanted the plants to the garden bed. Throughout the growing season, I monitored the humidity levels, watered them regularly, and fertilized them with mineral fertilizers. I was pleased with the yield and quality of the fruits. They have a pleasant appearance, vibrant color, and are almost uniform in size. I used them fresh in salads. Another advantage of this tomato is its resistance to diseases. During the growing season, I didn't even have to use any preventative treatments."

Alexandra Egorova, 42 years old, Kazan:

"I planted the Polonaise tomato on the recommendation of my neighbors. I cultivated it in a greenhouse. I didn't use any special growing techniques, limiting myself to standard plant care. I was pleasantly surprised by the high yield and quality of the fruit. When cut, they are uniform in color, the skin is thin, and peels easily without boiling. I managed to harvest 6.5 kg of juicy, calibrated tomatoes from the bush."
