Heat-tolerant determinate tomatoes
As a professional person involved in the tomato business, you need to be familiar with various heat-tolerant tomatoes and figure out if they are determinate or not
Tomatoes adapted to hot, arid regions are hardy enough to survive the wind and are resistant to illness
This is important since certain diseases can spread more quickly in hot climates
Tomatoes that are grown in deserts bloom early so that they can be picked and consumed before the hottest part of the summer
Tomatoes that are on the smaller side and ripen more quickly are typically the best choice for dry environments
When selecting desert tomatoes, it is helpful to look for clues in the plant’s name, such as in the case of Heat Master or Solar Fire
Although not all of them have names that refer to heat, many of them will make it clear that they thrive in warm areas
Many common hybrids, some of which are suitable for hot climates and are referred to as “heat-set” or “hot-set” tomatoes, include the following: BHN 216 Florasette Florida 91 Solar Heatwave II Heatwave II Summer Set Sunchaser Sun Leaper Sunmaster Sun Pride Talladega Equinox, Heat Master, Mariachi, and Rapsodie are some other varieties of tomatoes that can withstand high temperatures
Heirlooms There are several heirloom kinds that thrive in warmer regions, and you can choose from them if you want
These include the following: Arkansas Traveler Eva Purple Ball Hazelfield Farm Homestead 24 Illinois Beauty Neptune Ozark Pink Tropic Even some of the heirlooms that are traditionally thought to do best in temperatures that are lower, like as Stupice, are able to survive in higher temperatures
Some of the cherry tomato cultivars will even do better in temperatures that are slightly higher
Lollipop and Yellow Pear are two examples of these
Extremely Hot Regions Try to find tomato types that ripen in 60–70 days if you live in a region that experiences extreme heat, such as the desert southwest
Begin planning which varieties of plants you want to cultivate in January, given that it is possible to set transplants out as early as the 15th of February
The following are some excellent options for cultivation in these extremely warm climates: Cherry Sweet 100, Champion of the World Earlygirl Earliana Earlypak Patio Small Fry Earlygirl Earliana Earlypak Patio Sunripe To have success growing tomatoes in hot areas, all you need to do is locate types that are the most adapted to the conditions that they are grown in
And of course, making sure that they receive the kind of care that they need is not going to hurt either
Growers of tomatoes in warmer regions, such as the Southeastern section of the United States, typically select heat-resistant tomato varieties for the production of tomatoes during the summer and fall months
Growers further north would wish to adopt this method as well, given that climate change is already making summers hotter over the majority of the country
Growing tomatoes in warm climates can be challenging, but you can increase your chances of success by planting them deeper, where the soil temperatures are cooler, shading them in the afternoon, watering them in the morning, and covering the soil with a thick layer of organic mulch to keep it cool
To determine which type of tomato thrives best in the conditions of your garden, you should grow a few different varieties
Put some of those seeds away for the following year
