Tomato Rozhdestvenskiy

The Rozhdestvenskiy tomato is a determinate, bush-type plant reaching up to 0.8 meters in height, suitable for cultivation in low greenhouses, polytunnels, or open ground. The plant is characterized by high yield and resistance to a range of diseases, including fusarium, cladosporiosis, verticillium, tobacco mosaic virus, phytophthora, and powdery mildew. The leaves are broad and dark green, the inflorescences are simple, and fruits form on clusters located every 1-2 leaves, with 5-6 fruits per cluster.

Fruits of the Rozhdestvenskiy variety have a round shape, weighing from 60 to 180 grams, with dense flesh and a sweet taste. In technical maturity, they have a pale hue with a pinkish tip, and upon full ripening, they turn red-orange with a red tip and reddish center. Ripening begins from the inside, giving the fruits exceptional juiciness and visual appeal. The taste of the fruits is rated as excellent, making them popular for fresh consumption.

For successful cultivation, it is recommended to train the plant into 3-4 stems, removing lower leaves, and by early to mid-August, completely remove leaves and stop watering to improve fruit quality. The variety ripens late, around day 92 after germination, allowing for a stable harvest throughout the season. Due to its characteristics and disease resistance, the Rozhdestvenskiy tomato is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking high-quality and high-yield crops.
