This is a domestic variety, bred by Novosibirsk breeders and is intended mainly for open ground. The maximum yield will be obtained in warmer climates, where the bush forms more ovaries. The colder it is, the less fruit the tomato produces. Therefore, to maintain yields, it is often planted in greenhouses.

The variety is mid-season, the first tomatoes ripen closer to the middle of summer. A characteristic feature of plants is a high load and indeterminacy... The height of the bushes in open ground can reach up to 1.5 m, and even more in greenhouse conditions. The first ovary is formed after 10 leaves, all the following ones - after three. In total, if it is warm, the bush can give up to 8 full brushes, which is a lot for tomatoes.

The Siberian variety is characterized by high cold resistance, but its immunity to diseases is at an average level.

Taste characteristic

The largest first fruits, their weight is 600-800 g, but the variety does not have any trifles - the last tomatoes are on average 200-300 g. Tomatoes do not ripen at the same time, which many gardeners call a disadvantage. Although, on the other hand, extended fruiting allows you to have fresh vegetables until the very frost. The tomatoes themselves are of the original shape - in the form of an elongated heart, and not the same. There are "correct" hearts, and there are beautiful tomatoes with a curved tip, like an eagle's beak. The pulp is very juicy, but firm, sweet, with few seeds, the skin is raspberry-red.

The main purpose of the variety is for dining, however, juicy and sweet tomatoes make delicious juice and sauce for the winter. Small fruits can even be canned. By the way, they also behave perfectly in transportation.

Features of cultivation and advantages of the variety

Among other types of tomatoes, the Eagle's beak stands out favorably:

• good yield;
• large-fruited;
• resistance to unfavorable growing conditions;
• excellent transportability;
• the ability to harvest in waves.

Judging by the reviews, the disadvantages of the variety include the specifics of caring for it. Tall bushes need a garter, preferably under each brush. The stems of plants are not very durable and can break with an abundance of fruits.In addition, the bushes need to be shaped, taking into account their high growth and high fruit load. Most often the Eagle's Beak is grown in 1 or 2 stems.
