Tomato Shurim is an early-maturing, high-yielding determinate hybrid, suitable for cultivation both in open ground and in protected environments. From germination to the beginning of fruit ripening, it takes 90-100 days, allowing for a quick harvest. The plant has a strong and compact form, reaching up to 70 cm in height, and is lightly leafed, which simplifies care and reduces the risk of disease. The first flower cluster forms above the 6th-7th leaf, and subsequent clusters appear every leaf, with simple and even inflorescences containing 5-7 high-quality fruits.
The fruits of tomato Shurim have a cylindrical shape with a characteristic nipple, weighing about 100 grams and featuring a rich orange color due to high beta-carotene content. They possess excellent taste and a distinct aroma, making them ideal for both fresh consumption and whole-fruit canning. The hybrid shows high resistance to major tomato diseases, including verticillium wilt (Va, Vd), cladosporiosis (Ff), bacterial spot (Pst), and tomato leaf curl virus (TYLCV), ensuring stable yields and reducing the need for intensive plant protection.
The recommended planting density is 3-4 plants per square meter, pruned to 3-4 stems, promoting optimal growth and fruiting. The yield of the hybrid in open ground exceeds 18 kg per square meter, and in protected environments, it can reach up to 25 kg per square meter. Thanks to its combination of early maturity, high productivity, and disease resistance, tomato Shurim is an excellent choice for farmers and gardeners seeking a high-quality and abundant harvest.
