The best undersized varieties of tomatoes

I have tried many different low-growing tomatoes in cultivation and therefore I recommend that all gardeners pay attention to the following varieties.

It is characterized by tasty elongated fruits. Bushes reach a height of 50 cm. They are resistant to diseases and pests and are completely unpretentious in care. Suitable for both fresh consumption and for preparing winter preparations. This variety, despite its small size, is quite high-yielding. It grows well in the shade.

Alaska

An early ripe variety, differing in height a little more than half a meter. Used to make summer salads. But for canning it is unsuitable. The fruits are quite tasty, sweet, with a thin skin. This variety is not afraid of diseases and pests and is suitable for outdoor cultivation.

Tomatoes that grow well in the harsh northern climate. Characterized by an unusual elongated shape. They have quite thick skins. Therefore, they can be used for preparing winter blanks.

The height of the tomatoes reaches 30 cm. I do not recommend pinching them, as this will reduce the number of fruits. Despite its small size, the variety is quite high-yielding. I use the fruits both fresh and in the preparation of winter preparations.
