Tomatoes growing up to 100 cm are always popular with gardeners, since almost all varieties do not require pinching

The tomatoes described above are a godsend not only for novice summer residents, but also for people with extensive experience in tomato cultivation. Because in large areas, tomatoes are planted with a large yield and with less care, since tying and pinching takes a lot of time, farmers prefer short-statured varieties.

Low-growing tomatoes are in the lead in summer cottages and vegetable gardens. What is the reason for this success? Why did tall vines with large fruits give way to their inconspicuous relatives?

• Low-growing tomato varieties do not require planting equipment, a lot of attention and are distinguished by high yields.
• Most undersized varieties do not need to be pinned, they grow with a stem.
• They quickly bear fruit and delight with a rich harvest.
• They differ in friendly fruiting, which is important for housewives.
• Tomatoes of this species manage to give up the main part of the crop before the onset of the active phase of late blight.

Each gardener chooses the best varieties of low-growing tomatoes for himself individually, depending on the region of residence and growing conditions.

In order to choose the right tomatoes for your site, you need to know that all low-growing tomato varieties belong to the determinant group, which is divided into three subgroups:

1. determinant;
2. semi-determinant;
3. superdeterminant.

• The determinant subgroup of tomatoes is intended for planting in open ground and indoors. The side shoots of the bushes are very densely located, due to which a stem is formed, which does not require tying and pinching.
• Semi-determinant tomato varieties are recommended for outdoor cultivation. If you do not pinch off the top at a height of 80-90 cm, then it can reach 120 cm. Tomatoes of this group are not recommended to be pinched to harvest a larger crop, but experienced gardeners resort to this technique to speed up the fruiting of the bush.
• Superdeterminate tomatoes are characterized by early and medium ripeness, amicable fruit return, good productivity. These varieties are characterized by a short growing season. After the amicable return of the fruits, they do not form a new ovary. All varieties of tomatoes of the superdeterminant group require pinching and forming a growth point.

It is better to buy hybrid seeds of low-growing varieties of tomatoes for greenhouses and open ground of all three subgroups in specialized stores, since those collected with their own hands lose their maternal properties, and instead of a small bush, a long liana can grow in the garden.

Choosing the best varieties of low-growing tomatoes for greenhouses

Everyone is used to the fact that tall varieties of tomatoes grow on a long trellis in the greenhouse. But there is not always the time and opportunity to engage in the formation of a bush, the distribution of brushes, and pinching. Then low-growing varieties of tomatoes come to the rescue, which are simple and easy to care for.

Among the wide variety of tomatoes, I would like to highlight some of the best varieties of low-growing tomatoes for greenhouses:

• "Magus H" is a hybrid of early fruiting, it is distinguished by its resistance to diseases and productivity. The growing season is up to 65 days, the fruits are red, round, weighing up to 180g. One meter can accommodate 3-4 plants, which is very important when growing indoors, as thickened plantings increase the yield several times. The main condition for planting this variety is frequent airing of the greenhouse and the absence of condensation.
• The novelty of the last season "Orange Princess" has proven itself well in greenhouse conditions. It is a low-growing, very high-yielding variety of medium late ripening, intended for cultivation in greenhouses and greenhouses. With good care and agricultural technology, up to 40 kg of sweet orange fruits can be obtained from one bush per season.
• Recently, cherry tomatoes have become more and more popular. From this group it is worth highlighting such undersized varieties as "Aztec", "Little Red Riding Hood", "Duckling", "Banana Legs". The fruit weight of these tomatoes does not exceed 15–20 g, and the sweet aromatic taste does not leave anyone indifferent. Small peas in marinades look especially beautiful as a decoration for salads and baked meat dishes.
• Among low-growing tomatoes, there are popular dwarf and ampelous varieties. Tomatoes of the Talisman variety feel great in baskets and hanging pots. They serve as an excellent decoration for winter gardens and greenhouses, look beautiful in the garden, suspended from tree branches.
• The Aztec variety is ideal for indoor and balcony cultivation. Plants of these tomatoes are often planted in tubs and flower pots. Then tomato bushes play the role of decoration, not just food. Dwarf tomatoes and cherry varieties have medicinal properties: their regular consumption reduces the risk of cancer.

The best undersized tomatoes for open field

All varieties of low-growing tomatoes are suitable for open ground. The huge variety of tomatoes in this group allows you to choose tomatoes of any color, taste and size.

• Many people like undersized tomatoes for open ground of Siberian selection: "Siberian Garden", "Sibiriada", "Heavyweight of Siberia", "Abakan Pink", "Ballerina", "Siberian Troika", "Moscow Grushovka". The varieties of this series are distinguished by high yields and resistance to viral diseases.
• Novice gardeners should pay attention to such open field tomatoes as "Alaska", "Parodist", "Boni-M", "Bobkat". They are distinguished by smooth and tasty fruits, form a lush bush on their own and do not require pinching.
• Fans of especially fruitful varieties will like the following varieties: "Rocker", "Tourmaline", "Russian tasty", "Sunny Bunny", "Buyan". With proper care, up to 5 kg of even fruits weighing from 150-200 g can be removed from one bush of tomatoes of these varieties.
• The ultra-early hybrid tomatoes "Bringing good luck" and "Gayas Bekseev" deserve special praise. They are distinguished not only by high yields, but also resistance to heat and dry soil, diseases and are recommended for growing in areas unsuitable for gardening and agriculture.

A large assortment of low-growing tomatoes is presented today not only in specialized stores, but also in the markets of the country, where it is not always possible to be sure of the quality of products and compliance with the variety. It is better to play it safe and buy seeds in a store where experienced specialists will share the secrets of successfully growing undersized tomatoes in greenhouses and in the garden.

Reviews

Most gardeners advise planting low-growing tomato bushes as close as possible in order to get a harvest many times more. Also, from the merits, they highlight the ability to grow low-growing varieties in a greenhouse on hydroponics, while the room itself can be made much smaller, which allows you to save on construction.

An important advantage is that some varieties can be sown and grown all year round, due to their small size.

The compactness of these types of tomatoes becomes a disadvantage for many people. Some varieties, forming stepchildren, take root and new bushes are obtained. That reduces the size of the fruit and increases the time of their ripening.

For those who want to independently grow seedlings of low-growing tomatoes, most people are advised to drip seeds from the Sedek company.

El Dorado

The Eldorado variety is not at all ghostly, but quite real. Its smooth yellow ovoid fruits and very pleasant taste are real tomato "gold"! The bushes of this mid-season variety grow up to 90 cm. Ogorodnikov is pleased that the variety is resistant to wilting - a formidable symptom of such a dangerous fungal disease of tomatoes as fusarium.
