For productive cultivation of sweet peppers in a greenhouse, it is necessary to choose varieties and hybrids bred specifically for growing in appropriate conditions. One of the popular greenhouse varieties is the ultra-early hybrid Miracle tree.
Description of the variety
The miracle tree is a tall plant that grows to a height of 150-200 cm. The pepper bush, which outwardly resembles a neat tree, has weak foliage with bright green foliage, highly spreading branches, a powerful central stem, a female type of flowering and a superficial root system. More than 50 miniature specimens mature on a healthy pepper bush. Peppers are located drooping.
Characteristics of the appearance of plants and fruits
The hybrid represents the category of small-fruited varieties. The average weight of peppers ripening on bushes is 50-60 grams (length up to 8-10 cm). The fruits grow even and very neat. The shape of the fruit is prismatic. At the stage of technical maturity, the vegetable has a green color, and the ripe pepper acquires a uniform, fiery red cover. The peel of fruits is of medium density (up to 5-6 mm), rather shiny, smooth, with slightly pronounced ribbing. In the structure of the vegetable there are 2-3 chambers filled with a small amount of seeds.
The harvested crop lends itself to transportation without significant losses. The keeping quality of the pepper is average, like most of the early maturing congeners.
Purpose and taste
The Miracle tree hybrid is famous for its excellent taste, which is why it is so popular among housewives. The pale scarlet pulp is endowed with a fleshy, tender, juicy consistency without wateriness. The taste of the vegetable is harmonious - sweet, sometimes there is a slight sugariness in the taste, complemented by a pronounced peppery aroma without pungency and bitterness. Even an unripe pepper has a pleasant sweetness and bright aroma.
One of the advantages of the hybrid is its versatility in cooking - the vegetable is eaten fresh, canned whole, added to cold and hot dishes, frozen, stuffed, pickled, baked, and also used for processing into dressings, sauces.
Ripening terms
The miracle tree is an ultra-early variety. From the emergence of seedlings to the ripening of the first peppers on the bushes, only 80-90 days pass. Fruit ripening is amicable. You can taste the first vegetables in June. Mass harvesting begins in early July and can last until the end of summer, so there will be enough vegetables for all types of harvesting, as well as to replenish the vitamin supply of the human body.
Yield
This peppery variety has a high yield. If all agrotechnical recommendations are followed, about 8 kg of juicy vegetables can be harvested from 1 m2 of plantings.
Landing scheme
For a vegetable crop to be productive, it is important to plant it correctly, observing the planting density, as well as the distance between plantings. It is recommended to place 3-4 bushes per 1 m2, thus providing access of light, heat and air to each bush. Landing is carried out according to the scheme 40x60 cm.
To get a large and tasty harvest of pepper, you need to take care of the seedlings in advance.When growing pepper seedlings, you need to correctly determine the sowing time, pre-sowing seed treatment, prepare the necessary container and soil.
Growing and caring
The early hybrid is grown exclusively in seedlings. Planting of pepper bushes in a greenhouse is carried out in mid-May. Strengthened bushes at the age of 60-70 days with 3-5 true leaves and a formed root system are used as planting material.
A miracle tree needs intensive agricultural technology, which consists of regular irrigation with settled water (a drip system or under the root is recommended), top dressing 4 times per season (mineral complexes are welcome), frequent loosening of the soil, formation of a bush in 2, sometimes in 3 stems, mandatory garters (trellises, pegs, mesh), pinching new branches and removing excess lateral processes, ventilating the greenhouse, regulating the level of humidity, preventing diseases and viruses.
To harvest a tasty and rich harvest of pepper, you need to comply with all the conditions of agricultural technology, and proper care begins with planting plants. Before planting pepper in open ground, it should be prepared. It is also important to take care of the seedlings and planting space in advance.
Soil requirements
The plant grows comfortably in loose, light, fertilized, moist and breathable soils. In addition, the soil should not be acidic and waterlogged. As practice shows, sandy loam soils and chernozems are considered the best.
For good growth of pepper bushes and active fruiting, you need to regularly apply mineral and organic fertilizing to the soil. It is necessary not only to choose the right formulations, but also to use them at the right stage in the development of culture. The frequency of top dressing is always individual. It depends directly on the composition of the land on your site. The poorer the soil composition, the more often you will need to feed the pepper.
Required climatic conditions
Sweet pepper Miracle tree is a thermophilic crop, but at the same time it is quite stress-resistant, due to which it tolerates sharp temperature fluctuations and shading. When planting, it is recommended to choose a location in the greenhouse where there will be a lot of light, a stable temperature regime, and humidity control.
It is important that the temperature in the greenhouse does not exceed +30, since under such conditions the pollen is sterile in the flowers, which can lead to the termination of the formation of ovaries.
Disease and pest resistance
The culture has a high immunity. Pepper is able to withstand a number of diseases - root and apical rot.In addition, even with diseases such as ascochitis and verticillosis, fruits continue to ripen on the bushes.
Pepper is one of the most common vegetables in home gardens. This culture is quite stable and unpretentious. However, under certain conditions, this plant can suffer from infections and harmful insects. Before treating peppers for diseases or pests, you need to find out the cause of the problem, otherwise the treatment may be ineffective.
