Variety reviews

Petr V., Yuzhnouralsk: “I have been growing the Grushovka variety for a long time, I like this tomato for its beautiful fruit shape and good yield. By gradually removing the tomatoes, I can extend the fruiting period until the end of September. Sometimes, even in the fall, I cover the bed with non-woven material and pluck fresh fruits from the bush until mid-October. My whole family loves Grushovka, especially children: tomatoes remind them of light bulbs, and food turns into a game for them. "

Alexandra S., Ulyanovsk: “I decided to try the Grushovka variety after reading the description in the magazine. I liked the variety: tasty, compact, very convenient to use for preservation, and great for salads. Bears fruit for a long time. It is only important to treat the planting for diseases on time, otherwise for one year the bushes were planted densely, and macrosporiosis began to spread between them. I didn't notice right away, and as a result, I was left with almost no harvest. "

Semyon P., Krasnoyarsk: “My father also planted Grushovka, however, that variety was old, without new qualities. When I saw a new selection in the store, I immediately decided to plant it - I didn’t regret it. The taste remains the same, the pulp is juicy and elastic, with a slight sourness - you will be happy to eat such fruits more than one piece. But I also liked the new qualities. Plants have become more productive, disease resistant and easier to care for. I am happy to sow this variety every year together with my other favorites. "
