Arabian Giant"
The "Arabian Giant" (Arabskiy Gigant) tomato is a rare, collectible large-fruited variety. It is highly prized by gardeners for its excellent resilience, low-maintenance nature, and superbly sweet flavor.
Key Characteristics:
- Plant Type: Indeterminate (tall). It grows to about 150 cm in open ground and up to 180 cm in a greenhouse. Requires mandatory staking and pruning.
- Maturity: Mid-season (or mid-early).
- Fruit: Obate-round, rich red or dark pink color. The flesh is incredibly meaty, juicy, and contains very few seeds. Fully ripe tomatoes lose any green shoulders around the stem.
- Fruit Weight: Average weight ranges from 300 to 500 grams, but with proper care and blossom thinning, individual fruits on the lower clusters can reach up to 1 kg or more.
- Flavor: Classic sweet tomato taste, harmonious and well-balanced, with almost no acidity.
Main Advantages:
- Stress Tolerance: Highly resistant to sudden temperature fluctuations and cold snaps. It does not drop its fruit sets during poor weather conditions and bears fruit consistently until the first frost.
- Strong Immunity: High resistance to major tomato diseases and rots. The fruits store well and ripen perfectly off the vine.
- Best Uses: Perfect for fresh consumption and summer salads (a single tomato is often enough for a whole serving). Also ideal for processing into thick juices, sauces, pastes, and ketchups.
Growing Tips:
For maximum yield and extra-large fruits, it is recommended to prune the plant to 1 or 2 stems, regularly removing all side suckers. The variety responds exceptionally well to timely watering and potassium-phosphorus fertilization during the ripening period
