Tomatoes are one of the most favorite crops in the country. But not all varieties produce a stable harvest, do not crack from rain and remain tasty. To get both quantity and quality, it is important to choose proven varieties that combine yield, sustainability and true tomato flavor.
Here are seven reliable options that are suitable for both open ground and greenhouses.
De Barao
A mid-late indeterminate variety that produces crops until frost. The fruits are dense, pink or red, weighing 80–120 g. They do not crack, are perfectly stored and are ideal for pickling and juice. Resistant to late blight and other diseases.
Bull's heart
A classic among large-fruited varieties. The fruits are fleshy, heart-shaped, weighing 200–300 g, sometimes more. The taste is rich, sweet, with a slight sourness. Suitable for fresh salads and sauces. Requires staking and pinching, but generously yields.
Honey saved
An early variety with yellow fruits rich in beta-carotene. The tomatoes are sweet, almost without acid, weighing 250–300 g. The pulp is dense, there are few seeds. Great for children and people with sensitive stomachs. Good fresh and prepared.
Black Prince
A mid-early variety with unusual dark burgundy fruits. The pulp is juicy, sweet, with fruity notes. Weight – 150–200 g. Productivity is high, the fruits do not crack even with heavy rains. Ideal for gourmet salads and decorating dishes.
Alenka
Super early variety – the first tomatoes can be harvested 85–90 days after germination. The fruits are round, pink, weighing 120–150 g. The taste is soft, sweet, the skin is thin but durable. Suitable for whole canning and summer salads.
Pink giant
A variety with large pink fruits up to 400 g. The pulp is fleshy, low-seeded, sweet. Gives a stable harvest even in cool summers. Requires formation, but rewards with a generous harvest. It is better to use fresh for salads and sandwiches.
Honey cream
Bush variety with small cream fruits, weighing 30–50 g. Very productive, does not require pinching. Tomatoes are sweet, like berries, with thick skin and do not burst when pickled. Ideal for pickling, snacks and baby food.
To prevent tomatoes from cracking, water them regularly, but sparingly. Avoid sudden changes in humidity. To prevent late blight, mulch the soil with straw or grass.
Such varieties will give not only a harvest, but also real pleasure from the taste.
