RUBY BRANCH

Tomato Ruby Branch — an early-maturing variety, suitable for cultivation in open ground and under plastic covers. The plant is determinate, with a height of about 90-100 cm, possesses a strong root system, and requires staking and shaping. Leaves are medium-sized, green, flowers are simple, and the peduncle is without joint. The ripening period is approximately 73-75 days after transplanting seedlings into the soil, allowing the variety to be used for spring sowing in tunnels and plastic covers.

Tomato fruits have a flat-round or slightly elongated bell shape with slight ribbing, medium density, and a deep red color when fully ripe. Fruit weight ranges from 180 to 300 grams, and they are low-seeded, dense, and heavy. The number of locules in the fruit is 4-6, ensuring high quality and attractive appearance. The variety exhibits high fruit uniformity and good flavor, and is suitable for salad and pickling use.

Ruby Branch shows high yield — up to 9.6 kg per square meter under plastic covers and up to 5 kg per plant. Recommended planting density is 22,000–25,000 plants per hectare. The variety is resistant to several diseases, including Fusarium wilt (Fol), tobacco mosaic virus (ToMV), nematodes (Ma/Mi/Mj), and tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV). Due to its productivity and resistance, the tomato performs well even under unfavorable growing conditions.
