Liana Tomatoes
To be always with the harvest, in addition to high agricultural technology, varieties are also needed that are adapted to the weather conditions of the region.
Breeder Tarasenko Feodosiy Makarovich lived and worked in the village of Voronezh, Shostkinsky district, Sumy region. He grew about 50 varieties, including domestic breeding Gigant 40, Kabardinsky, Cosmonaut Volkov, from foreign De Barao, Crop-prince, Lemon Liana, Bulgarian pearls, and varieties of his breeding Hybrid 1, Hybrid 2, Hybrid 5, Hybrid 6 , Polesie giant, Gift to Polesie, Jubilee Tarasenko. All varieties are tall, indeterminate. Liana-like differ from ordinary low-growing ones in all respects. They are high-yielding (from 10 to 30 kg per bush, and more!), Their fruits have high taste. The growing season and fruiting period is significantly lengthened, until the very autumn frosts, the bushes will delight you with their delicious tomatoes, if you decide to give preference to these particular varieties. For several years now I have been practicing planting these varieties on my site. And the family is happy. I also endowed my acquaintances with seeds, they don’t complain. Lianas are more resistant to disease. Their fruits are tasty not only fresh, but also salted, marinated, and canned. Perfect for winter seasons De Barao, Hybrid 2, Lemon-Liana. In addition, these varieties can be stored fresh until January. Beautiful tomatoes will decorate your New Year's table, here is such a surprise from your own dacha.
F.M. Tarasenko has developed a special care and agricultural technology that these productive giants require. The root system of tall tomatoes penetrates deep into the soil, sometimes up to 1.5 and even 2 meters. Therefore, it is necessary for a plant to create optimal conditions for the development of powerful roots, starting with sowing seeds. As a rule, seedlings are planted at two months of age. Before planting seedlings, pits of 50x50 cm and a depth of up to 40 cm are prepared. The distance between the pits in the center is up to 1 m, between the rows of 1.5 meters. The top layer of soil is folded to one side, the bottom to the other. Fill each pit with two buckets of humus, 3-4 glasses of wood ash and 50 g of complex mineral fertilizer and mix thoroughly with the top layer of soil. It is also advisable to prepare the pits in the fall. Plant the seedlings in the peat-baked pots in which they were grown before planting. Plant two plants in the hole, and then form a bush in a two-stem form.
Pour the planted plants abundantly with heated water, having previously dissolved potassium permanganate in it (3 g per 10 l of water). As the plant grows, you need to pinch, leaving one or two stepsons for fruiting, tying them to a support. The most successful trellis method of tying to supports, in which each stem and each fruit bunch are well illuminated by the sun and ventilated, the stems do not oppress each other. At the same time, if a stake is hammered into the hole and tied to it, the plant passes the crowding of the bush, the drying of rainwater and dew is delayed, and the accumulation of excess moisture contributes to the spread of fungal diseases and especially late blight. Watering should be carried out with water heated in the sun, once a week (7-10 liters under a bush). After watering and rains, you need to loosen the soil around the plants. After 10-12 years after planting, the plants are fed, if there are no organic fertilizers, then mineral fertilizers, dissolving 20 g of carbomide, 60-80 g of superphosphate and 40-50 g of potassium salt in 10 liters of water. Do not apply potassium chloride or other chlorine-containing fertilizers under the tomatoes. The second time it is necessary to feed them after the formation of fruits and the third time after 12 - 18 days.During the second and third top dressing, nitrogen fertilizers are not applied, so as not to worsen the conditions for fruit ripening and to prevent the accumulation of nitrates in them.
In rainy periods with low temperatures, after 7 - 10 days, preventive spraying with one percent Bordeaux liquid (100 g of copper sulfate and 100 g of lime per 10 liters of water) should be carried out. As the tomatoes are tied, the leaf under the fruits must be removed. You will have to tinker with liana tomatoes. But they are worth it. Agree that it's not bad at all to get 20-30 kg of high-quality fruits from one bush. If, at the base of the bush, make a frame 50 cm high and fill it with a mixture of humus and earth, then the yield will double or more. I have outlined the agricultural technology used by Theodosius Makarovich Tarasenko. Despite the vagaries of the weather, he was always with tomatoes. Local varieties, which are especially valuable for Polesye, were developed by F.M.Tarasenko. At one time he was in friendly correspondence and exchanged varieties with him. Anyone interested in varieties of liana, write to me. I have seeds of these varieties for sale. Tomato seeds undergo a "course" of energizing the pyramids. Small copies of the Cheops pyramids stand right in my apartment. A wonderful thing. Tomato seeds processed in them give plants in which the yield increases by 60%, they do not get sick with late blight, and are also more resistant to adverse weather conditions.
HYBRID 1. Hybrid 1 has round, smooth, fleshy, orange-red fruits weighing 200 - 300 g. Feodosiy Makarovich called his varieties Hybrids. But in fact, these varieties have won fame for decades. V.I.Rosly reports that he grows Tarasenko's hybrids in a greenhouse under a film, the fruits are large, beautiful, tasty. It can harvest from 14 to 20 kg from one bush. So what can we say about our region if this avid gardener grows his tomatoes much further north.
HYBRID 2. Vigorous, relatively cold-resistant. Fruits with a dense tasty pulp, have the shape of a dull body with a drawn top (budenovochka), orange-red, weighing 50 - 70 g, are stored for a long time. The brushes are very complex, multi-fruited, each hand contains 30 - 40 fruits with a total weight of 2 - 3 kg. The fruits can be eaten fresh, canned and stored for a long time, followed by ripening. The highest yield is given by this culture in 2 - 3 stems - 15 - 20 kg of fruits per bush. It is advisable for the gardener to regulate the number of fruits in the brush by removing underdeveloped buds and flowers.
HYBRID 5 AND HYBRID 6. The varieties are indeterminate, medium early, 108 - 107 days pass from germination to the first harvest. The bush is medium leafy, 2 - 2.5 meters high. Tied to the trellis. The brush is simple, with one branch. It grows 4 - 5 large oval-flattened smooth fruits, red up to 500 g. The pulp is dense, good taste, salad purposes.
HOPE. Tall (up to 4 meters). This bush should be formed into two stems. On each 5 - 7 bunches weighing 1.5 - 2 kg are tied. The fruits have an oval-elongated shape (6x3), with an average weight of 80 - 100 grams. Individual bunches have 30 or more fruits. Fleshy fruits with high taste. They have a peculiar color. Before full ripening, their top turns yellow-green in color, which gradually turns into orange, while the rest of the fruit is red. In room conditions, it is stored until January.
COMBITOMAT. The variety is indeterminate. From germination to the first harvest of ripe fruits, 102 days pass. The bush is slightly leafy, 2 or more meters high. The first bunch is laid after 9 leaves, followed by every 3 leaves. The bunch is complex, with 15 - 20 or more flowers. Fruits are oval-elongated plum-shaped, red, weighing 100-200 g. The pulp is light red, dense, of good taste. The total yield from a bush is 15 - 20 kg, and with a frame up to 30 - 35 kg.
GIFT TO THE FOREST. The fruits of this variety are orange-red in color.The shape is rounded-flattened, ribbed. Weight up to 300 - 500 g. The pulp is dense, fleshy, excellent taste.
ANNIVERSARY TARASENKO. This variety was bred by Theodosius Makarovich in 1987 just in time for the 75th anniversary, hence the name. This variety is from tall. Its main stem grows up to 3 meters, slightly leafy. On the main stem by the end of the season there are 4 - 5 bunches. The first bunch is laid over 3 - 4 leaves, the next - through 1 - 2 leaves. Sometimes a second bunch is formed after the first. Complex inflorescences bear 300 or more flowers, but the ovaries on them are not formed at the same time and not at all. The first ovaries appear at the base, then in the center of the inflorescence, and then fruit setting gradually takes place on the periphery. Fruits are round, some are flat-round, different in size. The weight of the tomato is 180 - 200 g, the large ones have a slight ribbing in the area of the calyx, their top is slightly pulled back. These fruits are orange-red in color, smooth, fleshy, 6 - 8-chambered, of good taste. They are suitable for fresh consumption, good in salads, they are also used for preparation for future use. They retain their commercial qualities for one - one and a half months. The first bunches of Yubileiny reach 4 - 4.5 kg.

Already in the first years of experimental work with tomatoes (and I have been doing them for 30 years) I was convinced of the expediency of growing in amateur gardens liana-shaped, tall tomatoes reaching a height of 3 to 5 m. Liana tomatoes compare favorably with other forms in significant yield, extended fruiting period, high palatability of fruits, as well as comparative resistance against adverse weather conditions and diseases. In my collection of liana-shaped tomatoes, numbering about 50 varieties, there are also varieties of my own selection. These are Hybrid 1, Hybrid 2, Hybrid 6, Gift of Polesia and others. Numerous reviews of amateur vegetable growers indicate that these varieties have proven themselves well in Siberia, Kamchatka, the Baltic States, Kazakhstan, not to mention Ukraine, central Russia and Belarus. I will give just two examples.... “I never cease to admire Hybrid 2. Each hand contains 40-45 fruits, the average weight of each is 70 g. The weight of a hand is 3 kg or more. I harvest 15-17 kg from each bush. For Siberia, this is a miracle! V. Chashchina, Novosibirsk ". They also give a high assessment to Hybrid 1. From Komi V. Rosly said: “I grow your hybrids in a greenhouse under a film. The fruits of Hybrid 1 are large, beautiful, tasty. I harvest from 14 to 20 kg from one bush ”. In recent years, another variety has been added to my collection of tomatoes. I named him Jubilee Tarasenko. When creating this variety, I used the already known Hybrid 1 and Hybrid 2 as the initial parental lines. Here I will only point out some of their features, which were manifested to some extent in the new variety Yubileiny Tarasenko. Hybrid 1 has orange-red, round, smooth, fleshy fruits. The average weight of each is 200-300 g. Salad variety. I grow hybrid 2 in 2 - 3 stems, 10 or more brushes are formed on them. The fruits are kept fresh for months, sometimes until January. Fruits of high taste, suitable for fresh consumption and canning. The Mexican variety San Marzano also took part in the creation of the Jubilee. It is also a tall tomato. Its fruits are oblong-oval, lemon-colored, small (10-15 g), but there are a lot of them in the bunch - 300-400 pieces and more. The value of this variety is that it is resistant against fungal and viral diseases, the fruits remain fresh for a long time. With a mixture of pollen, Hybrid 2 and San Marzano pollinated Hybrid 1 (mother base), and the next year he received an unusual hybrid. Its brushes are 40-50 cm long with many flowers (300-400 pcs. And more), morphological characteristics are not similar to their parents.Then, for 4-5 years, he carried out a selection process to obtain a high-yielding line with good palatability of fruits, resistant to various diseases. Yubileiny variety - tall, its main stem grows up to 3 m, slightly leafy. On the main stem by the end of the season there are 4-5 bunches. The first bunch is laid over the 3-4th leaf, the next - after 1-2 leaves, sometimes the second bunch is formed after the first. Complex inflorescences bear 300 or more flowers, but the ovaries on them are not formed at the same time and not at all. The first ovaries appear at the base, in the center of the inflorescence, and then fruit sets gradually along its periphery. Fruits are round, some are flat-round, different in size. The weight of a tomato is 180-200 g, large ones have a slight ribbing in the area of the calyx, their top is slightly pulled back. These fruits are orange-red in color, smooth, fleshy, 6-8-chambered, good taste, suitable for fresh consumption and for harvesting for future use. They retain their commercial qualities for one to one and a half months. The first clusters of Yubileiny reach 4–4.5 kg. This fruitful variety also requires appropriate care and agricultural technology. I will dwell only on some of the receptions. Planting seedlings... It is known that the root system of tomatoes, especially tall ones, penetrates deeply into the soil, sometimes up to 1.5 and even up to 2 m. Therefore, starting from sowing seeds, take care to create optimal conditions for the development of a strong root system for the plant. Before planting seedlings of two months old, I dig holes 50X50 cm and a depth of 40 cm. The distance between the holes in the center is up to 1 m. I fold the top layer of soil to one side, the bottom to the other. I fill each hole with fertilizers and mix them thoroughly with the top layer of soil (two buckets of humus, 3-4 glasses of wood ash and 50 g of complex mineral fertilizer). It is advisable to prepare such pits in the fall. I plant the seedlings without damaging the roots in peat pots, in which they were grown before planting. I plant two plants in the hole and then I already form a bush in a two-stem form. I water the planted plants abundantly with heated water, having previously dissolved potassium permanganate in it (3 g per 10 l of water). Stepping... Unlike other lianas on the stems of the Jubilee stepchild, I take off as soon as they reach 3-4 cm in length. In the second half of July I still pinch the shoots: by that time they grow up to 2.5-3 m. A very important moment during the formation of the bush Jubilee - operations to regulate the harvest. During the growing season, 4-5 bunches are formed on the stem. And since the bush consists of two stems, then 8-10 bunches are already obtained on it. But on the last bunches, the fruits do not have time to fill up properly before the autumn frosts. So why should they take away nutrients from the formed ones? Naturally, I cut off the last bunches. I get a bush with 5 - 6 bunches. Such bushes give an average yield of 16-17 kg, although the potential of this variety is much higher. If an optimal regime is created for Yubileiny - light, temperature, appropriate air humidity, the plants are “fed and watered” not blindly, but scientifically, then the yield of the variety can be doubled. An important role in the development of Jubilee, like all liana-like ones, is played by the garter of plants to the supports, their formation. The most successful, in my opinion, is the trellis method, similar to palmette in gardening. With such a garter, each stem and each fruit bunch are well illuminated by the sun and ventilated. The stems feel free, not shading or oppressing each other. With such a formation, it is more convenient to care for the plants. I am not a supporter of such a garter, when stakes are driven into the holes and then plants are tied to them. The crowding of a bush tied to a stake delays the drying of rainwater, fog and dew. The accumulation of excess moisture contributes to the spread of fungal diseases, especially late blight.That is why a tapestry is preferable for a garter, which is not difficult to arrange. I personally arrange the trellis like this: I drive half-inch metal pipes into the ground along the rows of planted tomatoes (wooden stakes can be used) at intervals of 3-4 m from each other. Between the support pipes, I fix the spacers on top, then pull the aluminum wire in 5-7 rows. Pipes or wooden stakes should be at least 3 m high. I tie the stems of tomatoes and bunches to a stretched wire. And one more feature of the Yubileiny Tarasenko tomato is harvesting. Its fruits in bunches ripen gradually. In a massive bunch, some fruits are ripe, others have turned brown, and still others have just started. Given this feature, one should not expect full ripening of all fruits. I pluck them as soon as they become blanche in order to switch the supply of nutrients to the remaining, still underdeveloped fruits. The rest of the care methods - watering, feeding, disease control - are the same as for other liana-like ones. I will only note that Yubileiny Tarasenko is relatively resistant to late blight and brown leaf blight. Apparently, the influence of San Marzano, which has such properties, affected. Tarasenko F.

If you have not yet acquired your own summer cottage with a spacious vegetable garden, try growing tomatoes at home. For this, ampelous varieties are ideal.
Ampel tomato (ampel) is a crop grown in hanging pots, large pots, buckets, flowerpots - in a word, in any container in which a tomato bush is placed. A container with a plant can be placed, for example, in a country house near a house or placed on a wide window sill in a city apartment. Also, for growing ampelous tomatoes (usually climbing and falling), a balcony is perfect. And you don't have to go far to harvest!
The German word ampel means hanging flower vase
In addition to juicy and very tasty fruits, ampelous tomatoes have a whole several advantages before crops grown in greenhouses and open ground:
- Seedlings can be planted much earlier (in April-May). This will allow for an early harvest.
- When grown at home (on the windowsill), you can feast on fresh tomatoes all year round, not treated with any "chemistry".
- Ampel tomatoes are less likely to get sick (including late blight), since the containers in which they grow are well ventilated. Plus, each plant has its own container, which means there is less risk of infection from a neighboring “brother”.
- Compact plants take up little space.
So, let's find out which varieties of ampelous tomatoes have gained wide popularity among gardeners.
1. Citizen F1
The name of this hybrid speaks for itself: the variety is intended for those who live in the city and, despite the lack of a summer residence, still want to feast on self-grown tomatoes.
The plant has not only tasty and rather large fruits of a red-raspberry color, but also a spectacular look. The main stem can be allowed to hang down. And if you tie it to a support, you get a compact bush, from which round tomatoes "look out".
Please note: to harvest as early as possible, stepchildren (side shoots) need to be pinched.
Citizen F1 is a fairly large variety. Therefore, the container for the plant must have a volume of at least 4 liters.
| Appointment | Ripening period (days) | Shoot length (cm) | Fruit weight (g) | |
| 90-100 |
The main shoot is up to 80 cm, the rest - 40-60 |
25-35 | ||
2. Cascade Red F1 and Cascade Elo F1
These hybrids differ only in the color of the fruits: Cascade Red - red tomatoes, and Cascade Elo - yellow. The bushes of both plants are compact, with hanging and branching shoots of different lengths (usually shoots do not grow more than half a meter).
The advantage of these hybrids is ease of maintenance. During the growing season, shoots do not need to be pinned, you should only remove yellowed and dried leaves in a timely manner.But keep in mind: in order to harvest a good harvest, plants need to be planted in containers with a volume of at least 5 liters, or better - 8 liters.
| Appointment | Ripening period (days) | Shoot length (cm) | Fruit weight (g) | |
| 101-110 |
40-150 |
40-60 | ||
3. Red Abundance F1
This early ripe hybrid has long been loved by many for its high yield and attractive appearance. With proper care (timely watering and feeding), the plant gives a generous harvest of juicy and fleshy red fruits, exuding a rich aroma. They hang in large bunches on the bush. And sometimes it seems that such a compact plant can barely withstand so many fruits. But the tomatoes themselves are not large. They taste like cherry: just as sweet.
The F1 Red Abundance bush grows very quickly, its curly branches can reach a length of about 60 cm, and they do not need to be tied up and shaped. Side shoots do not need pinching.
| Appointment | Ripening period (days) | Shoot length (cm) | Fruit weight (g) | |
| 47-52 |
Up to 60 |
20-25 | ||
4. Garden pearl
The bushes of this variety are undersized (about 40 cm tall), but have numerous spreading shoots on which pink cherry tomatoes ripen, weighing up to 20 g, having a rounded shape. Due to its compact size, Garden Pearl is ideal for growing on a windowsill. For the plant to develop normally, it is enough to plant it in a 3-liter container filled with light fertile soil.
This variety also does not require pinching, it is very unpretentious and bears fruit well.
Depending on the manufacturer, Garden Pearl seeds can be sold under the names Pearl, Arctic and Garden Pearl.
| Appointment | Ripening period (days) | Shoot length (cm) | Fruit weight (g) | |
| 85-93 |
30-50 |
15-20 | ||
5. Talisman
Among ampelous tomatoes, this variety is the most popular. Perhaps because it was withdrawn a long time ago.
By the way, Talisman tomatoes can also be grown outdoors: they are drought-resistant and cold-resistant. In this case, the first harvest usually falls in mid-July. And fruiting continues until the frost.
The tomato bush is low (about half a meter), the shoots are not very spreading. The fruits are smooth, ovoid, red, very juicy and tasty. Grown in the open field, they can weigh about 80 g, and at home in containers - usually the mass of fruits does not exceed 20-40 g.
| Appointment | Ripening period (days) | Shoot length (cm) | Fruit weight (g) | |
| 95-105 |
50-55 |
40-82 | ||
Decorate your plot or balcony in the house with ampelous tomatoes - and you can enjoy not only the attractive view of this plant, but also very tasty fruits.
