Tomato Seeds – Alsu (From Azerbaijan) – Indeterminate | WINTER / SUMMER

Alsu is a tomato variety associated with Azerbaijan and is listed among tomato varieties grown in the country. Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Agriculture identifies Alsu among locally grown tomato cultivars.

The GREEN GARDENS listing describes Alsu as a vigorous indeterminate tomato producing uniform, juicy and flavourful red fruits.

Indeterminate plants continue producing new vine growth, flowers and fruits throughout favourable conditions, so reliable support is important.

Its productive growth habit makes it suitable for home gardens, kitchen gardens and small-scale cultivation.

Exact fruit weight, mature vine length and yield may vary according to seed strain, climate and crop management.

50% Bhalu Mitti (Sandy Soil) + 50% Vermicompost 🔗

Maintain reasonably consistent moisture while allowing excess water to drain freely.

Growing Instructions from Seeds

1. Sowing

Start seeds in nursery trays, seedling cells or small pots.

Sow approximately:

0.5 cm deep

Cover lightly with fine growing medium.

2. Germination

Keep the growing medium lightly moist.

Seeds generally germinate within:

5–10 days

under suitable warm conditions.

3. Sunlight

Provide bright light after germination.

Established plants generally require:

6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily

Good sunlight supports vigorous vine growth, flowering and fruit development.

4. Transplanting

Transplant seedlings when they are healthy, strong and approximately:

4–6 inches tall

or after developing several true leaves.

Water immediately after transplanting.

5. Plant Spacing

Maintain approximately:

50–60 cm between plants

Good spacing improves airflow and provides room for vine training.

6. Support

Alsu is indeterminate and requires reliable support.

Provide:

• Stakes
• Tomato cages
• Vertical strings
• Trellis systems

Begin supporting the vines early and tie stems loosely as they grow.

7. Watering & Feeding

Maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during flowering and fruit enlargement.

Avoid repeated severe drying followed by heavy watering.

Before planting, incorporate GREEN GARDENS Vermicompost 🔗.

Once flowering begins, avoid excessive nitrogen and provide balanced nutrition with adequate potassium for fruit development.

8. Pruning & General Care

Indeterminate tomatoes can benefit from moderate vine management.

Remove only when necessary:

• Diseased leaves
• Damaged foliage
• Leaves touching the soil
• Excessively crowded lower growth
• Selected side shoots / suckers where vine control is required

Avoid excessive pruning.

9. Flowering & Fruit Development

Tomatoes are largely self-pollinating.

Natural airflow or gently shaking flowering branches can help pollen movement.

After successful fruit set, Alsu tomatoes gradually enlarge and develop their mature red colour.

10. Harvesting

The current GREEN GARDENS listing indicates harvest at approximately:

65–80 days after transplanting

under suitable growing conditions.

Because Alsu is indeterminate, harvesting can continue over an extended period while conditions remain favourable.

Harvest when fruits develop full red colour and good flavour.
