Tomato did not disappoint me. Pleasant fruit taste, not sour.It goes well with other vegetables in salads. I found out about this variety from my friend. She gave me a try. Also surprised by the color. Be sure to land next year.

Leonid Leonidovich, Mogilev region

Personally, I have an approach to this grade. Stepsons are removed almost every 3-4 days. When the first fruits are poured, I quickly remove most of the leaves. I fertilize 1 time in 2 weeks, while the leaves grow - with organic matter, then - only with mineral fertilizers. For the prevention of late blight, I spray 3 times per vegetation season with an aqueous solution of serum (1 liter per 10 liters of water). Very tasty tomatoes! The salads are simply amazing!
