I grow all tomatoes in the open ground. The Italian variety grows well, bears fruit too. Tomatoes have an elongated shape. For salting, I do not like them, so we try to eat the whole crop directly from the garden!

The variety is excellent. Bushes are large, powerful leaves. I liked that it grows up to the cold weather. Productivity is good. The fruits are dense, do not crack, with a pleasant taste. Pickled several cans - during the winter they ate it with pleasure. I will plant more.

For us, the variety "Italian" did not fit. Tomatoes grew beautiful, but dry, not juicy. Fresh salads and food are not suitable!
