Characteristics and description of the tomato variety Peach, its yield
Original fruits are the main advantage by which the Peach tomato is recognized. From the name it is clear that the fruits are peach-like in shape, color and skin. Summer residents planted this tomato variety not for blanks, but for decoration.
Fluffy varieties
Vegetable growers distinguish a whole group of varieties, which include fluffy tomatoes. Their peculiarity is fluff on fruits and leaves.
Tomatoes Peaches come in different colors:
- P. velvet - fruits are red-burgundy, weighing up to 120 g. Bushes up to 80 cm, powerful standard, semi-spreading, are determined by the type of growth.
- P. yellow - white-yellow color in tomatoes. Fruits weigh no more than 80 g, collected in a brush of 6 - 8 pieces. The bushes are not high (80 cm), standard.
- P. striped - striped tomatoes, multi-colored (red-pink with yellow stripes). When ripe, the stripes may turn orange. Bushes of different heights, from 50 cm to 1.2 m. The variety is classified as a semi-determinate type. Leaves have a bluish tint and slight pubescence.
- P. white - pale yellow tomatoes, the color of the skin and juicy pulp is tender, reminiscent of cream.
- P. garden (GardenPeach) - yellow-white fruits.
Separately, we can say about an interesting hybrid with the fruit name Apricot. Of the known "fluffy" tomatoes, this is the largest-fruited. The fluffy fruits of the F1 hybrid can weigh up to 500 g. This weight and size characteristic is rare for fluffy tomatoes.
All tomatoes of this type are tender, juicy, but stored little. It makes sense to plant a small number of bushes only for the use of fresh sweet fruits.
Description
Description of the variety: round, without ribbing, fruits with a color depending on the type of tomato, contain up to 10% sugars, which determines their extraordinary sweetness. The dry matter percentage is minimal. There is no acid in the taste at all.
The average yield for this category of tomatoes is 17 kg / m², the recommended scheme for planting in the exhaust gas and under cover is 4 bushes per 1 m². Reviews about the taste of the fruit are different. Some people like a skin with a delicate pile, others - absolutely not.
Disease resistance
Disease immunity is an important indicator for any summer resident when choosing a variety. All Peaches are characterized by a certain resistance to a number of diseases:
- rot (white, brown, gray);
- powdery mildew;
- mosaic;
- late blight;
- root rot.
Nectarine
Unlike tomatoes Peach F1 with pubescence of fruits and leaves, Nectarine is a rare variety with a fruity name and sweet taste. The glossy skin of its fruit is perfectly smooth and shiny, as if it had been oiled with olive oil.
Tomatoes taste absolutely sugary, not the slightest sour taste.Fruits are stored a little, quickly deteriorate due to the unusually tender and juicy pulp. The growth of a tomato bush is average. The color of the thin skin is similar to the color of the fruit of the same name.
An interesting mid-early tomato hybrid originally from Canada. The description from the manufacturer characterizes it as an indent that can be grown in soil and in any type of greenhouse.
Gardeners about the variety
Alla, Novosibirsk:
“I want to share my impression of growing peach pink tomatoes. I grew several bushes in a greenhouse. Neighbors gave seedlings. The bushes are short, different from ordinary tomatoes. The leaves and stems are pubescent, and the skin of the fruit is velvety, with a small pile.
Tomatoes are not large, they are formed with large tassels. The Persians sang late, pulled them out in October. The care was simple. I didn't remove my stepsons, the bushes began to fall over from the weight of the fruits, so I tied them up.
I irrigated, like other tomatoes, 1 - 2 times a week. She threw straw under the bushes. There were no diseases. I'm happy with the harvest. She released the seeds, distributed them to neighbors and left them for the next season. I won't plant a lot, but I will definitely put 4 bushes in my greenhouse. "
Marina, Moscow region:
“Peach pink blacklisted. I will not plant these tomatoes anymore. The largest tomato was 2 * 3 cm in size. The yield was not impressive. The bushes were huge, more than 2 meters. Brush formed 9 pieces, each with 15 pieces of tomatoes. The fruits are deep pink. "
How to care for fluffy tomatoes
Let's figure out how to plant the powerful F1 hybrids correctly so that they have enough of everything: nutrients, light, moisture. The rows must be placed at least 50 cm. Dig holes from each other at intervals of 40 cm.
Pour ½ a bucket of aged humus (2-year old) or mature compost into each hole 40 * 40 cm in size. Simultaneously fill with fertilizers:
- potassium;
- urea;
- ash;
- superphosphate.
Calculate the quantity based on the recommendations always indicated on the pack. Prepare the wells at least a week before transplanting peach red tomato seedlings. Pour a liter of water under each bush.
You will need mulch to keep the soil loose and moist. If there is a garden with fruit trees, prepare fallen leaves for tomato ridges in autumn. Straw and dry grass will do. It is enough to cover the soil with a layer of 5 cm.
Pros of mulch:
- retains water;
- mulch, rotting, feeds tomatoes;
- earthworms and other microorganisms are cultivated in the soil, bringing benefits to plants.
Bush care
Tie the bushes to a support during active growth. The indents will have to be tied up all summer, since their growth does not stop during the entire growing season.
Partially remove stepchildren even in low-growing varieties. Leaves that begin to turn yellow must be removed: it is especially important to do this in greenhouses. Partial leaf removal can be attributed to a preventive measure against late blight.
We fertilize
Prepare an infusion of mullein or dry chicken dung. A liter of this tincture is enough for a bucket of water. You can feed fluffy bushes at the root 2 weeks after transplanting to the ridge.
The second and third feeding should be done in 2 weeks. In the infusion for the third feeding, add nitroammophoska, superphosphate. Fertilize only after watering: this way you can avoid scalding the roots.
Watering
If the beds are covered with mulch, water once a week or less, and if it is absent and in hot, dry weather, water twice a week. Watering should not be superficial. Soak the soil well, but do not overflow.
Conclusion
Advice to those who have not yet planted tomatoes Peach. Buy a bag of fluffy tomato seeds: these tomatoes will be a good addition to your summer cottage collection. Caring for them is no more difficult than for conventional varieties.
