The best varieties of undersized tomatoes with photos and descriptions

Low-growing tomatoes lead in the country sites and gardens. What is the reason for such success? Why did tall vines with large fruits give first place to their inconspicuous relatives?

• Low-growing varieties of tomatoes do not require tools for planting, a lot of attention and high yield.
• Most undersized varieties do not need to pinch, they grow with a stem.
• Quickly become fruiting and delight in a rich harvest.
• Differ in friendly fruiting, which is important for hostesses.
• Tomatoes of this species have time to give the main part of the crop before the onset of the active phase of late blight.

Each gardener chooses the best varieties of low-growing tomatoes individually, depending on the region of residence and growing conditions.

In order to choose the right tomatoes for your plot, you need to know that all low-growing tomato varieties belong to the determinant group, which is divided into three subgroups:

1. determinant;
2. semi-determinant;
3. super determinant.

• The determinant subgroup of tomatoes is intended for planting in open ground and in enclosed spaces. The side shoots of the bushes are very dense, so that a shtab is formed, which does not require tying and pinching.
• Semi-determinant tomato varieties are recommended for cultivation in open ground. If you do not pinch the top at a height of 80-90 cm, then it can reach 120 cm. Tomatoes in this group do not recommend pasturing, to collect a larger crop, but experienced gardeners resort to this method to speed up fruiting of the bush.
• Superdeterminant tomatoes are characterized by early and medium ripeness, amicable fruit yield, good yield. For these tomato varieties characteristic short growing season. After a friendly return of the fruit, they do not form a new ovary. All varieties of tomato in the superdeterminant group require staining and forming a growing point.

It is better to buy hybrid seeds of low-growing varieties of tomato for greenhouses and open ground in all three subgroups in specialized stores, as they are self-collected lose maternal properties, and instead of a small bush can grow on a bed a long vine.
