SISTER

Tomato Sister is a medium-late determinate hybrid with limited growth, reaching a height of 50 to 150 cm depending on growing conditions. The plant is characterized by a thick stem, a large number of suckers, and strong foliage. The first flower cluster forms above the 7th-8th leaf, and subsequent ones appear every 1-2 leaves. Due to its structure and resistance to tobacco mosaic virus and alternaria, the hybrid demonstrates a stable high yield under various weather conditions.

The fruits of Tomato Sister have a round-pear shape, slightly ribbed and dense. In the immature state, they are green, and upon ripening, they turn bright red. The fruits are two-chambered, weighing 60 to 80 grams, making them suitable for fresh consumption as well as for whole-fruit canning. Versatile uses include salad preparation, pickling, and salting.

The hybrid can be grown both in open ground and in protected ground. Sowing for seedlings is recommended in March–April at a depth of 1–2 cm, with transplanting in the 2–3 true leaf stage. Seedlings are transplanted into greenhouses in April–May and into open ground in June, following planting schemes from 40x60 to 70x30–50 cm. After transplanting, plants require staking and suckering for optimal growth and fruit formation, achieving a yield of 60–70 tons per hectare.
