Tomato Siesta

Siesta is an early-maturing, high-yielding determinate tomato hybrid intended for cultivation both in open ground and under cover. From germination to the beginning of fruit ripening, it takes 95-100 days. The plant is compact, lightly leafed, and reaches a height of 70-80 cm. The first flower cluster forms above the 6th-7th leaf, and subsequent clusters appear every 1-2 leaves. Inflorescences can be simple, semi-complex, or complex, with up to 15 fruits per cluster. The fruits have a cylindrical shape with a slight point, weigh 60-70 g, and are bright orange in color due to high beta-carotene content.

Siesta tomatoes have excellent flavor qualities, making them an excellent choice for fresh consumption as well as for whole-fruit canning. The hybrid is resistant to major tomato diseases, contributing to stable and high yields. Recommended planting density is 3-4 plants per square meter, with plant formation on 3-4 stems. Yield in open ground exceeds 15 kg per square meter, while in protected ground it can reach up to 20 kg per square meter.

Thus, the tomato Siesta is a versatile and reliable hybrid that combines compact plant growth, high productivity, and excellent fruit flavor. It is suitable for various growing conditions and will be an excellent choice for gardeners aiming to obtain an early and abundant harvest of bright and nutritious tomatoes.
