An interesting situation occurs with tomato hybrids - many experienced gardeners, especially those who grow tomatoes for themselves and their families, are in no hurry to grow them. And the point is not so much that the seeds have to be bought anew every time. But rather, the fact is that, no matter how they are praised in advertising descriptions, when fresh, the taste of few of the tomato hybrids can compete with the taste of varietal tomatoes, especially large-fruited ones. And if tomatoes are stored for a long time and are transportable, then they certainly have more to do with the “rubber and plastic world” than with the garden environment. And for those who sell tomatoes on the market and strive to have regular customers, the taste of the tomatoes they sell cannot but matter, which is why gardeners avoid hybrids, even despite their good yields and disease resistance.
Tomato Tyler f1 refutes many existing ideas about the properties of hybrid tomatoes and is a productive and incredibly tasty hybrid. In addition, it has many more interesting properties and characteristics. This article is devoted to its description and properties.
History of appearance in Russia
Perhaps, especially for all summer residents who strive not only to grow tomatoes for themselves, but also to sell their surplus harvests, seeds of hybrid tomatoes from the Japanese company Kitano appeared on the seed market about five years ago.
They were truly sweet, juicy with a real tomato spirit, but also stored well and easily traveled many hundreds of kilometers. True, they originally appeared on the territory of Ukraine, and Russian gardeners for the most part could only envy and salivate in the hope of getting such interesting seeds.
Of course, as in any matter, there were disappointments and successes, but in general the description of the properties of these hybrids was confirmed. And now Russian gardeners have the opportunity to choose not only tomato varieties based on their taste properties, but also to try various hybrids from Kitano. Initially, these hybrids received only a numerical designation, and only after some time the most popular of them acquired their own name. This happened with the Tyler tomato, which, according to consumer reviews in Ukraine, in recent years has ranked first in popularity among indeterminate tomatoes.
Description of the hybrid
The Tyler tomato belongs to the indeterminate group of tomatoes, which means that tomato bushes are characterized by unlimited growth and development, including height. Kitano company specialists strongly recommend using their indeterminate hybrids only for growing in protected soil. In open ground, their behavior and productivity can be unpredictable.
Tomato bushes are quite powerful with a good and strong root system. The leaves are rich green and abundantly cover all the stems.
By the way, tomatoes in this hybrid form on the clusters, and with abundant and balanced nutrition, up to 9-10 fruits can form on the cluster.
Interestingly, in good conditions, the Tyler tomato is capable of laying even double clusters of 12-14 tomatoes each.
In terms of ripening time, the hybrid belongs to the mid-early tomatoes. On average, it takes 95-100 days from germination until the tomatoes in the first bunch ripen. In greenhouses, if suitable conditions are created, it can begin to bear fruit at the earliest possible date.
In this case, all the energy will go not to further growth, but to the accelerated formation of fruits.
A feature of the Tyler tomato is its requirement for enhanced nutrition. Therefore, the yield of tomatoes is largely determined by growing conditions, as well as the quantity and quality of fertilizing.On average, you can get 8-12 kg of tomatoes from one square meter of planting.
Hybrid Tyler is characterized by good resistance to many diseases - fusarium, verticellosis, tomato mosaic virus, bacterial cancer.
It is distinguished by excellent fruit set even under stressful conditions (low temperature, insufficient light or, conversely, heat). And if the ovaries have already formed, then even despite the heat, the tomato bunches will continue to ripen. Considering these properties, as well as its early ripening, the Tyler tomato can be grown twice a season - in late spring, early summer and late summer, in autumn. This is especially attractive for gardeners growing tomatoes for sale, since in the off-season it is possible to get a good price for tomatoes.
