How to: Celebrity Tomatoes - Growth Measurements - Week 2 - 6 Inches Diameter & 3 Inches in Height
Scott's 2021 Project Analysis of Celebrity Tomato Cultivator - 65 Days to Maturity Week 2 Measurements Include an increase of the Cultivator from 7 inches in Diameter to Healthy Increase of 13 Inches in Diameter as for the Height an increase of 3 Inches from the planting height via the 45 Degree Angle Planting Method.....of 6 Inches SOIL Swanpond-Funkstown silt loams Amended with Compost - Extreme Producing Area was a wetland (ponded area) back before for the Fieldstone Development.... _______ PLANTED 5/15/21 - NURSERY 7" D x 6" H MEASURED 6/1/21 - WEEK TWO ANALYSIS - INCREASE OF 6" D x 3" H TOTAL 6/1/21 - 13" D x 9" H ______________ The Celebrity tomato cultivar is a hybrid (biology) that produces long fruit-bearing stems holding 20 or more very plump, robust tomatoes. Fruits weigh approximately 8 oz., and are 4 inches across. Plants need caging or staking, and produce fruit throughout the growing season. The celebrity tomato is a cultivar of the species Solanum lycopersicum. It is a crossbreed of the common tomato that is widely used for various culinary purposes. This tomato is of great size and is known to be resistant to most tomato diseases such as Fusarium wilt, Verticillium wilt, Tobacco mosaic virus and Root-knot nematode due to its hybrid nature. Celebrity tomatoes are highly adaptive to harsh environments and can grow in a wide range of places including dry, humid and wet regions. They are resistant to cracking and splitting which usually occurs when there is an excess of water and sugar movement in the fruits. Therefore, causing the tomato skin to grow at a slower rate compared to the expansion of the fruit. They can survive in harsh uneven rainfall. However, they are highly susceptible to colder environments and are at a higher risk of dying in regions with short growing seasons. The plants can grow up to 5 feet in height with bright red medium-sized fruits. The plants are generally very thick and grow in clusters. The tomato fruits are mostly used in the making of various salsas, salads, juices and canned food. _______________ 2.4 Inches of Total Rainfall in Two Weeks - Erratic Temperature from 45 Degrees in the Morning to a High of 91 Degrees or 46 Degrees total change from the low to high in this monitoring period.....
