Growing tips

If grown outdoors, the "Sto Pudov" bushes can grow up to a meter tall. The fruits are somewhat smaller, but still sweet and juicy, with no air pockets. This variety keeps well, is suitable for transportation, is excellent in salads, and can be easily preserved by simple pickling. The flavor is excellent, and the juice it produces is simply wonderful, as the tomato is juicy and the flesh is tender.

When growing bushes, train them into single- or double-stemmed plants, and immediately provide sturdy support. Because the bushes are strong and bear a significant weight of tomatoes, secure them securely from the start to prevent them from falling over. When planting outdoors, space the seedlings at a rate of 3-4 per square meter, no more, or they will crowd each other.

How to plant

When planting seedlings, consider the timing for your region; tomato plants will bear fruit in approximately 60 days. Sow the seeds early, around mid-March, pressing them a couple of centimeters into the soil. Before planting, soak them in a potassium permanganate solution, then rinse them carefully and place them in prepared soil.

Plant it in fertile soil; this variety doesn't like light or heavy soil; it needs good oxygen access to its strong roots. Water frequently with warm water, feed occasionally, and be sure to pinch off any side shoots, and the bushes will reward you with beautiful, large, red-orange fruits that are tasty and juicy. Experienced gardeners claim that with proper care, a greenhouse plant can yield up to 20 kg.

Interestingly, greenish fruits are completely tasteless, but as they begin to redden, they quickly gain flavor and sweetness. Those ripening to a red-orange color are juicy and slightly sweet, with a subtle tartness. If poorly cared for, the bushes can be susceptible to late blight, gray mold, and brown spot.
