, if you choose from varieties and hybrids, then hybrid varieties are usually an order of magnitude more resistant to diseases and more productive. This is exactly what breeders achieve when they develop new hybrids.

Mini bushes: revealing the benefits

Let's start with the fact that plants with a bush height of less than one meter are considered low-growing. Moreover, from a large group of determinate varieties, these include the deets themselves, superdeets, as well as standard tomatoes. What properties of such tomatoes will be decisive for your choice?

Small spool but precious

Low and dwarf tomatoes are compact (both in height and width) and take up little space on the beds. The roots of the bushes are also small, therefore, in plantings, unlike medium-sized varieties of tomatoes and indets, a larger number of plants per square meter is allowed.

By providing the “kids” with proper care, you can get a bountiful harvest of tasty fruits even in very limited areas.

Early risers

Most of the species in this group are early or mid-ripening, so the first fruits are harvested from them much earlier than from indeterminate varieties. This is especially important for summer residents who live in regions with harsh climatic conditions and a short summer season.

Steadfast Tin Soldiers

The best varieties for open ground from the group of low-growing tomatoes are highly resistant to a number of traditional diseases.

Firstly, due to their early ripening, most of these tomatoes “escape” from the insidious late blight. By the time the nights become cooler, cold dew appears and long rains “charge”, the “low-growing plants” have already managed to produce their harvest.

Secondly, many early ripening varieties are cold-resistant and can withstand all weather conditions well, setting fruit even in unfavorable conditions. Of course, this crop is heat-loving, requiring plenty of sun, moisture, and a comfortable growing environment, but thanks to selection, new “extreme” varieties have appeared, which gardeners in the North, the Urals, and Siberia are very happy about. Cold resistance may not be particularly important for a greenhouse, but for open ground this characteristic of the crop will be very important.

Care without problems

Early, low-growing tomatoes require minimal care, often freeing gardeners from the tedious procedure of pinching bushes.

ON A NOTE! The description of the variety always indicates whether the tomato requires pinching or not. Therefore, it is so important to follow the recommendations of the agricultural manufacturer.

It is precisely because of the ease of growing these tomatoes that the non-growing “baby” varieties are suitable for those summer residents who are just mastering gardening. Well, choosing the best varieties will allow you to get excellent results even from such “crumbs”.

Both under the roof and in the garden

Low-growing tomatoes can be grown outdoors (in the south of Russia); they are also suitable for planting in greenhouses, tunnels, and greenhouses. Of course, in regions of the country with harsh climatic conditions, it is advisable to place any tomatoes in shelters (for reliability). But if the summer is hot and the conditions for growth are good, then you can harvest a large harvest from the “low-growing plants” in the early stages and in open ground.

ON A NOTE! As an alternative to a greenhouse, you can use a portable greenhouse specifically for low-growing varieties of tomatoes.

Balcony miracles

In the group of “baby” tomatoes there are many varieties that are suitable for growing on balconies, loggias, and windowsills (including the popular cherry tomatoes). The harvest from them can be harvested even by the New Year, the main thing is to properly care for them, not forgetting about watering and fertilizing.

You shouldn’t count on kilograms of fruit, but it’s very pleasant to receive a dozen or two fresh tomatoes grown on the window for the holiday table.

For every taste and color

Another advantage of these tomatoes is their variety. The range of seed varieties and hybrid forms is huge, and therefore you can choose not just low-growing tomatoes, but also take into account other characteristics:

• fruit size (large, medium, beef or cherry);
• shape of tomatoes (round, “cream”, finger-shaped, heart-shaped);
• purpose: salad or for preservation;
• color (red, yellow, orange, black, green, pink, bicolor).

Real gardeners believe that different types of this crop should grow on the plot, and along with the tall “Gullivers”, it is imperative to plant several of the best short varieties of tomatoes.

Low-growing, early-ripening sweet tomatoes are the most productive varieties that do not require pinching

The main advantage of low-growing, early-ripening varieties is that they are resistant to unfavorable growing conditions, and most of them are grown without pinching. They withstand heat and cold equally well, insufficient watering and lack of fertilizers. In addition, when there is insufficient lighting, seedlings do not stretch.

Tomato Polbig

My favourite. The early-ripening Dutch hybrid is unpretentious and very tasty. Forms compact bushes 60-80 cm high, moderately leafy. Resistant to burns of leaves and fruits in extreme heat. Ideal for growing in the south of Russia.

The yield is very high for early tomato varieties - on average 4-4.5 kg per bush, even when grown in farm fields. I also like it because it hardly gets smaller on the stepsons (up to 150 grams, it never gets smaller). Very resistant to verticillium and fusarium. The ripening period is 90-100 days, the fruits are smooth, do not crack and are well stored. Universal use. Disadvantage: Slightly susceptible to blossom end rot.

Disadvantage - not resistant to viral diseases (mosaic, leaf curl, bronzing). But since this hybrid is early ripening, in the southern regions they manage to collect the bulk of the harvest before the outbreak of the disease. The fruits are especially attractive for pickling and pickling.

Tomato Novichok

Another favorite tomato of mine is Novichok. Very tasty, abundantly fruiting mid-early variety (fruits on 114-127 days from germination). It is grown in various regions of Russia.

Two types are grown: red and pink.

The determinate type plant is characterized by its small size, medium foliage, height - 60-80 cm. Fruit weight - 80-100 grams. The pulp is fleshy and juicy in taste. Its small size and convenient shape make the tomato suitable for canning as a whole. Both species are resistant to many common diseases.

These are Buyan red and Buyan yellow of Siberian selection, the second name is Fighter. Suitable for growing using the lazy method (I come to the dacha twice a week) in any region of Russia.

The choice of low-growing tomato varieties today is extremely wide and includes a wide variety of colors, shapes and sizes of fruits

There are varieties and hybrids with fruits of various shapes and sizes, from the “cherry” variety, with small “berries,” to plants that form tomatoes weighing up to 300 g. The height of the bushes also varies:

• the most compact ones are 25-30 cm tall;
• there are forms reaching 90-100 cm.

The yield of plants also varies: it can be very modest, but the best varieties of low-growing tomatoes, with proper care, produce up to 9-10 kg of fruit per square meter.

Many home gardening enthusiasts successfully cultivate low-growing tomatoes on a windowsill or balcony.

The variety of methods for cultivating low-growing tomatoes is especially impressive. They are grown not only in protected and open ground. There are varieties that are perfect for cultivation on balconies and even indoors (in boxes or pots). Plants of this type are specially adapted to withstand a lack of light and “crowded” roots in a small clod of earth. In indoor cultivation, tomatoes usually develop as perennials: with proper care (regular watering and fertilizing), fruitful and “rested” plants regain the lost green mass and begin to actively form flower clusters.

Low-growing, ampel-type tomatoes are suitable for growing in hanging containers; they combine the properties of a vegetable and ornamental crop.

The latest developments of breeders have made it possible to develop low-growing varieties of hanging-type tomatoes, suitable for growing in hanging containers. They form compact bushes that form long, hanging flower clusters or lateral shoots, which bear a large number of small, but very beautiful and sweet fruits. Ampelous tomatoes combine the properties of a vegetable and ornamental crop. In addition, they almost do not suffer from late blight, since their stems and leaves practically do not come into contact with the soil.

Varieties of low-growing, small-fruited tomatoes are used to decorate home interiors and garden plots

“Traditional” varieties of low-growing, small-fruited tomatoes are also used to decorate garden plots: amateurs plant them in flower beds, where bushes strewn with bright fruits harmonize perfectly with decorative onions, ground cover and cereal plants.

We present brief descriptions and photos of low-growing tomatoes that have earned positive reviews from Russian gardeners.

• 45 secrets of a bumper tomato harvest

  45 tips for each stage of growing tomatoes that will be of interest to both beginners and experienced tomato growers.

From the reviews of summer residents : “I was pleased with the harvest even in very cool rainy weather”, “unpretentious, no difficulties in growing, it was easy to grow sweet berries”, “I recommend it, the tomato is very compact, resistant to adverse weather conditions”, “I didn’t find any disadvantages for myself” “early ripening, sweet, the fruits are quite large.”

Classification of crops

The modern variety base includes species that can be grown both in temperate latitudes and in the harsh conditions of Siberia (varieties “Demidov”, “Heavyweight of Siberia”, “Petrusha Ogorodnik”). The latter, as a rule, are ultra-early and resistant to adverse weather conditions.

Gardeners often equate the concepts “low-growing” and “determinant”. This is only partly correct. In such plants, the growth of the main stem stops soon after the start of flowering, but this can happen both at the stage of several inflorescences and 6-8 racemes.

In this regard, low-growing tomatoes can be divided into several subgroups:

All determinate tomatoes (they are also called “children”), for the most part, are early ripening. On average, fruit ripening occurs 80-100 days after germination. It does not last long, but the risk of developing diseases characteristic of tomatoes is significantly lower than that of indeterminate representatives (“indets”).

According to the type of growth, there are two main forms among early-ripening tomatoes:

• standard. The stem is erect and strong. As it grows, it forms a compact tree-like bush, the height of which does not exceed 50 cm (these varieties include “Boets” (Buyan), “Boni-M”, “Pink Leader”, “Wind Rose”, “Florida Petit”);
• lodging. As the stem grows, it bends to the soil and branches strongly. A garter is required (these varieties include “Marisha”, “Riddle”, “Amber 530”, “Explosion”).

For standard varieties, gartering is not necessary, but only with its help can one achieve uniform ripening of fruits and prevent the development of diseases.

• Early tomatoes: how to get a harvest in June

  Secrets of growing early-ripening tomatoes for keen gardeners.

From the reviews of summer residents : “A good tomato, unpretentious, productive”, “satisfied with the result, the tomatoes are fleshy, tasty”, “very early ripening, ripens down to the last bunch”, “abundant harvest even in our north”, “maybe for some and there’s not enough smell or sweetness, but the harvest is a complete delight!”

How to choose the right sowing time

Inexperienced summer residents mistakenly believe that the sooner you sow tomatoes for seedlings, the faster you will get the fruits. But in fact, it is necessary to accurately calculate the timing, taking into account a number of factors:

• ripening time of a particular variety;
• climate of the area (the onset of stable heat, warming of the soil);
• The planned place for growing the crop is in a greenhouse or on open ground ridges.

Seedlings 60 days old (on average) are suitable for planting. If the expected date for planting seedlings in a permanent place is the end of May, then count back two months and add another week for germination. It turns out that the approximate sowing time is March 20-22. When planting late (for example, in the European North), where stable warmth is established in early June, the seeds are sown in early April.
