Tomatoes Blueberries are not genetically modified foods. The variety is bred biotechnically from the purple Indigo Rose fruit. As a result, we got a new variety with rather large fruits.

Blueberry tomatoes: characteristics and description of the variety

Tomato Blueberry is round and dense in shape, with a glossy surface. In the period of full ripening, not only the skin, but also the flesh, acquire a burgundy-blueberry color. Great for open soil and greenhouse cultivation.

Bilberry tomatoes belong to the early maturing indeterminate species. The interval from germination of the bush to the formation of a ripe fruit is 95-100 days. One brush yields from 6 to 8 tomatoes, each weighing 150-180 g, which means that the tomato yield is high. Since tomato bushes are very tall with long and heavy branches, over time they need to pull on the support and pinch.

Blueberry Tomatoes

There are no strict requirements for the formation of a bush, it is enough to cut off the lower leaves, and by the end of August, prevent its further growth by cutting off the top. If grown in a greenhouse, it is necessary to cut off all side branches and stepchildren so that only the central trunk remains.

In good conditions, tomatoes are harvested before October, therefore:

  • in cold regions they are grown in greenhouses;
  • in warm regions - on open soil.

Since the bushes are tall and heavy, they need support. The support is made in the form of a lattice. The columns are driven in along the row, and a rope is pulled over them, to which the bush is tied.

Landing

It is necessary to plant seedlings in pre-prepared holes, at a distance of 50 cm. Between rows, adhere to a width of 70 cm.

Where blueberries grow

  • half a liter of compost;
  • 2 tsp superphosphate;
  • 1 tsp urea;
  • 1 tsp potassium sulfate.

At the end of planting, the seedlings must be watered.

Note!Seedlings must be spud after each irrigation. This is necessary in order for the bush to grow on the ridge.

How to grow seedlings correctly

Garden blueberry

In the second half of March, tomato seeds are spread on a damp ground surface and sprinkled with soil 4–6 mm on top. To avoid dryness of the earth, it is necessary to close it on top with plastic For seed germination, it is important to maintain a temperature of + 22 ... + 23 ° C. After their germination, the film is removed. Before planting on the site, the seedlings must be hardened, therefore, two weeks before that, the temperature drops to +19 ° C.

Additional Information!If the seedlings are actively growing, but there is little flowering on them, nitrogen should be excluded from the mineral compost and phosphorus added.
