Good day to all. I would like to recommend the tomato variety Smoothie orange. An excellent option for lovers of sweet, juicy berries. The plant is long-playing, the last fruits were collected in mid-September. The berry can be safely transported over long distances, it will not deteriorate and will not lose its appearance.
