Still, manufacturers are not in vain trying so hard to choose some extraordinary and telling name for a new variety of tomatoes. Indeed, most often it turns out that it is the name of the variety that makes the variety itself advertising, and not descriptions of it, and even more so not the reviews of the gardeners who grew this or that variety. After all, if you buy seeds of a particular variety in a store or on the market, then most often the main reason for choosing will be either an attractive picture on the package, or a fascinating name, and most often both at the same time.
Tomato Apparently invisibly already does not speak by its name alone, but simply shouts that it must be tried, because there will be not just a lot of tomatoes, but a lot. And for the overwhelming majority of gardeners, the yield of the variety is indeed one of the most powerful arguments in favor of one or another variety. Moreover, Apparently-invisibly is a variety, which means that you can no longer buy more of its seeds, but grow these tomatoes from your seeds.
This article analyzes the characteristics of the apparently invisible tomato variety and provides its description in comparison with the reviews of gardeners who have already grown these tomatoes on their plots.
Description of the variety
Tomato Apparently invisibly was most likely bred by Siberian breeders in the early 2000s, since it is popular among the people and has been grown for quite a long time - since 2008-2010. At least, the seeds of these tomatoes are distributed mainly by the company "Siberian Garden", which is known for the fact that it has only seeds of Siberian selection in its production.
But, unfortunately, this tomato variety has not been included in the State Register of Russia for all these years, possibly due to bureaucratic red tape, or, perhaps, there was no desire of the breeders themselves, who gave life to this variety. One way or another, there is no exact data on its description, and its characteristics can be verified only by comparing them with the information provided by gardeners in their reviews on this variety of tomatoes.
Apparently invisibly, the belonging of a tomato to the determinant varieties seems to be no one disputes. According to various sources, its height can reach from 50-60 cm when grown outdoors, up to 100 cm in greenhouse conditions. On average, the variety is more likely to be classified as low-growing tomatoes, powerful in the strength of shoot formation, well leafy.
According to the manufacturer "Siberian Garden", only four clusters are formed on the main stem of the plant, after which the growth of the bush is completed.
It is possible to continue the development of the bush only by transferring the main point of growth to one of the most powerful lower stepchildren and thus forming an additional crop. Most often, determinant undersized bushes do not feed at all, due to which their yield is achieved. But in the case of the apparently-invisibly variety, it turns out that its bushes can be formed not only in three or four trunks, as is customary in relation to determinant tomatoes, but also in two trunks.
Judging by the reviews and photos of people, the tomato of this variety was grown both in the open field, and under film shelters, and in polycarbonate greenhouses.
In terms of the ripening of tomatoes, there are very large discrepancies in the reviews themselves and in the description of the variety by the manufacturer. Tomato Apparently invisibly declared as an early ripening variety, but most gardeners agree that tomatoes ripen quite late, starting from the end of July, and in most cases in August, even when planted in a greenhouse. That is, more realistic terms of ripening of tomatoes of this variety are about 120 days from the moment of full sprouting.
As for the yield, here the name of the variety rather correctly characterizes the possibilities that tomato plants are capable of. Probably invisibly. Indeed, there are so many tomatoes on the bushes that sometimes it is difficult to see the leaves and stems behind the fruits. On average, about 1.5 kg of fruit can be harvested from one plant, even without special care. But it is possible to obtain even better results - up to 4.5 kg of tomatoes from one bush when using the correct shaping and proper care.
Resistance to various unfavorable growing conditions and diseases is average. Many people note that tomatoes of this variety have not been exposed to diseases, while others determine their resistance at the level of most medium-sized tomato varieties.
Characteristics of tomatoes
Perhaps, for this variety of tomatoes, the description of the tomatoes themselves recedes into the background, because the main thing is their quantity. But the fruits themselves are also able to interest gardeners, especially since in their description there are also discrepancies between the characteristics that were declared by the manufacturer on the seed packages and the real data presented by those who grew these tomatoes.
The shape of the tomato variety is seemingly-invisibly rounded, not much different from other traditional varieties.
But with the color of ripe fruits, there are already big discrepancies: on the packages from the producer of the seeds of this tomato "Siberian Garden" they are described as bright pink, and many gardeners have tomatoes of this variety turning pink after ripening. But among other gardeners, who are also quite a few and who also grew this variety, red tomatoes have ripened, without any hints of a pink tint. Moreover, other characteristics of tomatoes, including yield, were the same.
In any case, specialists have yet to understand this phenomenon, and perhaps this is the explanation for the fact that this variety has not yet been included in the State Register. After all, if he has such differences in characteristics, then it is too early to talk about the stability of the variety. But for ordinary gardeners, the fact remains - by sowing this variety, you can get seeds of both red and pink colors.
With the size of the fruit, there are also significant discrepancies in the description of the manufacturer and data received from gardeners. The manufacturer claims that tomatoes of this variety are large-fruited, and the average weight of one fruit is 300 grams. But almost everyone who grew these tomatoes agrees that their weight rarely exceeds 100-120 grams. In some isolated cases, people write that the mass of tomatoes reached 200 grams, but no one has yet managed to grow 300 grams of this variety.
The flesh of the fruit is quite dense. The tomatoes themselves are smooth, without ribbing. The density of the skin is sufficient so that the tomatoes do not crack either on the bush or in the jars.
In terms of taste, they deserve a good mark, but for excellent taste they do not quite hold out. According to the comments of many, this variety is great for all kinds of blanks. It makes delicious tomato juice, as well as a variety of sauces, adjika and lecho.
They are stored well, but it is better not to delay with this. After all, tomatoes ripen for a long time, so you can always have time to make preparations, and after a while remove a new crop from the same bushes.
Advantages and disadvantages of the variety
The variety, even in the form by which it is known to gardeners now, has many advantages that make it worthy for growing in different climatic regions of Russia.
- An abundance of fruits, which together create high yields;
- Unpretentiousness to care and growing conditions;
- Small height of the bush, which is convenient for maintenance;
- Elongation of fruiting, which is convenient for home consumption.
But the variety has obvious disadvantages:
- Discrepancy with many of the declared characteristics - therefore, the likelihood that a "pig in a poke" will grow, at least in the first year of cultivation;
- Mediocre fruit taste (although very good for canning).
Reviews of gardeners
According to gardeners, the majority are quite supportive of the tomato variety Apparently invisibly, forgiving him some flaws and mismatches in characteristics in order to get a fairly large harvest.
Conclusion
The tomato Apparently invisibly is famous, first of all, for the abundance of fruits, as it should be by its name. The rest of the characteristics are quite average, but given its unpretentiousness, it is not surprising that it is very popular among summer residents. After planting it, in almost any conditions you are guaranteed to get a good harvest.
