Since Ob Domes is a determinate hybrid, it limits its growth. The tomatoes are well leafy, so you have to partially harvest them, just like the stepchildren.

Fruit
Flower brushes are formed above the ninth leaf, then after two. Ovaries are formed on almost every flower. On the lower tassels the fruits are larger, then become a little smaller. Ob Dome tomatoes are not too large. Weight ranges from 200-260 g.
The surface of the fruit and the flesh are bright red or raspberry pink. There is a yellowish spot around the place where the stalk is attached. The skin is dense and thick, so transportation does not harm the fruits. Tomatoes are distinguished by their fleshy and sugary pulp. There are few seeds inside, just like inside the fetal fluid.
The shape of the fruit is elongated, resembling a heart or a dome. Tomatoes do not crack on the bushes. Ob domes are valued for their sweet taste.
Tomatoes can be safely packed into boxes at ripeness: they ripen perfectly. The Ob domes will remain fresh until November.

Features of agricultural technology
Tomatoes Ob domes were originally created for the harsh northern regions. In this case, seedlings are grown first. But, according to reviews from gardeners, this hybrid is no less attractive for those who live in a warm southern climate.
When sowing seeds, you need to take into account the timing of planting in a permanent place (55-60 days). It turns out that the boxes with soil are ready by the end of March. There are no special requirements at this stage.
You can use store-bought soil or prepare it yourself. The seeds are laid out in increments of 2-3 cm into grooves located at a distance of 5-6 cm. Two weeks after planting, when 2-3 true leaves appear, the seedlings are pruned. Grow as usual.
Seedlings that are 55-60 days old take root best
The originators indicate that the hybrid Ob Domes can be grown not only in open, but also in protected ground. When planting in a greenhouse per sq. m place 3-4 bushes, which are formed into 2-3 stems. In open ground - up to five plants/sq. m. The number of stems is also greater than in a greenhouse.
Each bush produces many heavy fruits, which are very difficult to hold without damage.Therefore, the Ob Dome tomato needs to be tied up. You can drive 2-3 pegs around the bush and tie the stems and brushes with tomatoes. Some gardeners stretch ropes and attach the plant to them.
As for stepsoning, this is a mandatory procedure. In open ground, these shoots need to be removed; in a greenhouse, they can be partially left.
Since the yield of low-growing Obskie Domes tomatoes is quite high, they require regular feeding. It is useful to water the bushes with mullein infusion or nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium fertilizers at the beginning of flowering. During fruit formation, they are fed with phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. In this case, the fruits will be sweeter and more aromatic.
Pest and disease control
Judging by the description and opinion of gardeners, the Obskie Domes tomato has good immunity. But, since more than one variety is usually grown on a plot, there may be crops in nearby beds that are less resistant to diseases and pests. Therefore, it is necessary to take care of preventive treatment of all tomato plantings. The onset of diseases can be determined by the leaves and fruits; work must begin immediately.
Gardeners often use Strobi to protect tomatoes, including the hybrid Ob Domes. It is used throughout the growing season. Add 2 g of the drug to a 10 liter bucket. After thorough mixing, the plantings are sprayed.
Strobi is a universal-use fungicide, suitable for combating fungal diseases of almost all garden and vegetable crops.
Conclusion
The Obskie Domes tomato has many advantages, which adds to its popularity. The plant adapts to any climate, you can always count on a good harvest. Seed growers of the Siberian Garden company took care of immunity to diseases and pests, and resistance to changes in weather conditions.
