We have been planting this variety for several years. We like. Tasty and beautiful tomatoes. We use mainly for conservation. But I want to note that they love watering very much. Therefore, we had to ask our neighbors to water our landings in the middle of the week.

I don’t know, I read a lot of positive reviews and I decided to sow the seeds of Apple tree myself. I tried for two years, low germination. Productivity is also lower than declared, maybe something was doing wrong?

The variety is good, but there is nothing outstanding in it. Tomatoes are beautiful, small, fit well in a jar, so we like to preserve them. The pulp is tasty, they go well in the salad. The bushes bore fruit for a long time, of course, not 4 kg per bush, but we had enough.
