Tomatoes have gained great popularity among vegetable growers due to their taste and beneficial properties. Abruzzo tomatoes fit the above characteristics perfectly. Judging by the reviews, the vegetable not only tastes great, but is very rich in lycopene, natural sugars and vitamins.
Description
The variety "Abruzzo" is early ripening and tall. The height of the bush reaches 200 cm, so the plant needs mandatory, timely gartering to a support. The plant is intended for greenhouse cultivation. The variety is not intended for planting in open ground.
The fruits are large, fleshy, red. The weight of a ripe vegetable reaches 200-350 grams.
A distinctive feature of this type of vegetable crop is the presence of a large amount of lycopene, as well as natural sugar. Thanks to this property, ripe tomatoes are perfect for making salads, juices, ketchups, and sauces.
Advantages of the variety
The Abruzzo tomato has a number of features that make it stand out from the crowd of its peers. The specific advantages of vegetable crops include:
- high content of sugar and lycopene in fruits, which has a positive effect on taste;
- high productivity;
- ideal raw material for preparing salads, sauces, juices.
Features of cultivation
As you may have noticed from the description, the Abruzzo variety is quite tall. Based on this, you should carefully approach the issue of placing a plant in a greenhouse, taking into account all the nuances and characteristics. It should be remembered that the bush needs staking, so the presence of a nearby support or equipping the greenhouse with devices for staking the plant is a prerequisite for growing a vegetable crop of this type.
The second mandatory condition for growing “Abruzzo” is its formation and timely removal of stepsons from the bush.
Excess branches and leaves interfere with the formation of fruits and also slow down their ripening.
