Characteristics and description of the tomato "Frant"

Gardeners who prefer to grow tomatoes in greenhouses are especially careful when choosing varieties. They need to harvest the maximum possible yield in a very limited space.

Particular care is taken when choosing disease-resistant varieties. Even a single diseased plant can cause irreparable damage to the entire greenhouse crop. The "Frant" tomato is an excellent example of a hybrid variety.

Characteristics and description of the variety

The "Frant" tomato is a hybrid early-ripening variety. The first fruits ripen in 85-100 days. This indeterminate, tall variety is suitable for greenhouse planting.

Height, color, shape of the plant

The "Frant" variety is indeterminate and very tall. The bush can reach two meters in height. It has few branches, with a sparse number of tomato-colored and tomato-shaped leaves. This variety requires pinching and shaping into two main branches. Because it is tall, "Frant" requires support. This tomato is a salad variety. Its fruits are suitable for processing into tomato juice and various sauces.

Fruit weight, color, shape, yield

Sowing occurs 60-65 days before the planned planting date. After three permanent leaves appear, the seedlings are pricked out. The "Frant" tomato is planted in its permanent location very widely, with a minimum distance of 60 cm between them. The bush is formed into two main branches and regularly side-shoots are removed. During growth, the bushes require feeding, watering, and fluffing. When the ovaries are forming, they should be tied up, as the branches may break off due to the large number of fruits.

Feedback from those who planted

"I absolutely love my greenhouse. I always eagerly select new inhabitants for it. This year, I decided to plant the 'Frant' tomato. The name sounded promising. I grew a very tall bush. As it grew, I trained it into two main branches. The fruit began to set on time. Up to a dozen fairly large fruits formed on a single branch. The tomatoes are heart-shaped and bright red. I loved the flavor. I'll definitely add this variety to my wish list."

"A smart, tall tomato called 'Frant.' I planted it to try it out, and it didn't disappoint. The variety is disease-resistant. And it proved its worth. The fruits are red, the flavor is great, and we got a substantial harvest, enough even for sauce. The family really appreciated the sauce this winter."

"I've been planting this for several years now. The tomato is truly gigantic. The bush has grown to an incredible height. Care has been seamless. Just water it regularly and fertilize occasionally. We picked our first tomato on the 90th day. It lived up to our expectations. Juicy, delicious—I love them. We had a substantial harvest. We even had to store some of the tomatoes in boxes. They keep well and retain their flavor. I recommend the 'Frant' tomato to everyone."
