Tomato pepper: features and varieties.

Russian breeders do not stand still, not so long ago, on the basis of the traditional form of cream, varieties with long and narrow fruits were bred. The new selection has received the name - a tomato "Pepsevidnyj", or "Long-fruit". All varieties are of the indeterminate type, fruits are very sweet, with fleshy walls and empty inside. The following signs may vary in most varieties: growth, yield, resistance to disease, tendency to crack, keeping quality, color, weight and shape of the fruit. The name "Pepper" selection of long cream was obtained thanks to the structure of seminal chambers with voids, as well as a certain external similarity with peppers.
