Soot Buyan about 10 years. I grow it in a garden without shelter. Sort like. Low shrubs. I tie up all the lashes to the support, otherwise because of the abundance of fruits they fall on the ground. I am not engaged in the formation, just delete all stepchildren to 1 flower brush. Canned tomatoes, eat in salads. I grow up Buyan yellow and red. They differ only in color. All other characteristics are the same.

Tomato Buyan friends advised. I read the description, reviews on the forums, planted. Did not regret. For several years now I have been fond of love for him. Tomato is a hard worker. This is the most accurate feature. The bushes are small, covered with pretty, strong cream in any weather. They quickly ripen, do not deteriorate upon contact with the ground, do not burst in the rain. I can praise the variety for a long time. He has a lot of advantages. For our climate, its cold resistance and early maturity are important.
