Tomatoes

The "Fireworks" tomato stands out among others for its juicy, meaty flavor and large, delicious tomatoes. Another name for this tomato is "Kaleidoscope." It is best grown in heated greenhouses and, in southern regions, in the open ground.

This variety is prized by amateur gardeners. It requires a fair amount of effort, but the results are sure to be rewarding.

Describing "Fireworks"

The main characteristics of this tomato are indeterminacy, mid-season maturity, and tall growth. Bushes can reach a height of at least 1.80 meters and more than 2 meters. The 'Fireworks' flower clusters are simple, and the leaves are rich green and large.

As for the fruits, they truly catch the eye with their unique coloring – a red hue with a scattering of orange, yellow, and silver patterns. Other distinctive features of the variety include:

peduncle articulation;
fruit weight reaching 400 grams;
a shape with roundness and flat characteristics;
convex middle;
ripening on the 105th day after full ascent;
when unripe – green with a dark tint at the stem and dark stripes everywhere;
the skin is dense, which allows the fruits to be stored longer.

This is important! These tomatoes are recommended to be grown in two stems, using side shoots and planted near supports. Without these supports, proper cultivation of "Fireworks" is impossible. The second stem is formed from the side shoot, eliminating all the others, to speed up and increase the yield.

About the advantages and disadvantages of the variety

Most gardeners value this variety for its large fruits and decent yields. On average, just over 6 kg are harvested per square meter. The juicy, pleasant flavor and aroma are also noticeable. The dense skin allows for easy transportation.

And lovers of vegetable preserves and diets are satisfied when consumed fresh, in juices from canning, and in sauce variations.

Fireworks: The Main Rules of Growing

Tomato seeds are sown for seedlings two months or a little more before final planting in a permanent location. Each square meter requires the planting of plants whose vigor and vigor are influenced by the characteristics of heat, nutrition, moisture, and light.

This is important: cauliflower, nightshades, zucchini, carrots and cucumbers are considered optimal predecessors for tomato crops.

As the season nears its end, the top of the shoot is cut off, leaving a few leaves above the last cluster. This step is necessary to help the bushes use up all the nutrients and microelements, allowing the last tomatoes to ripen faster.

As for the lower shoots, they are rooted if there is free space - it is recommended to simply bury the resulting clean stem in moist soil.

What do those who planted this variety think about it?

Based on the existing opinions about these tomatoes, one might conclude that they are fairly neutral. For example, they like the fruits themselves, but note that the harvest is not as large as expected:

Valentina, 43 years old, Moscow region

I've been growing the "Fireworks" tomato variety in a greenhouse for three years, as recommended. I'll try something else. Although the tomatoes were tasty and large, there were always very few of them. For some reason, the variety didn't take off, even though I bought the seeds from a brand-name store. Apparently, I need more experience.

Others note that a large harvest is obtained, but not immediately: proper care is essential.

Sergey and Anna, 57 years old, Ivanovo region

After planting "Fireworks" five years ago, we got a small but delicious harvest. We decided to continue growing it, caring for it even more meticulously. We watered it regularly, fertilized it with mineral and organic fertilizers, promptly removed old leaves, and, of course, pinched out side shoots. And now, three years later, we've harvested a whopping 6 kg per square meter, up from the usual 2-3 kg at the very beginning. Patience and love, and everything will work out!

There are also those who are truly captivated by this variety.

Anna, 47 years old, Krasnodar,

You know, there aren't many fruits, to be honest. But they're so delicious and beautiful! They're worth the effort of growing. I also like how quickly they ripen. It varies from year to year, but it's always one of the first to ripen in the garden. "Fireworks" also loves loose sand, dry air, and loving care.

This is precisely the main conclusion: with patience and a genuine approach to growing, the results will reward your efforts. And "Fireworks" in your garden are guaranteed!
