Reviews
Alina:
The bushes grew small, did not exceed 30 cm, and were done without pinching. They began to bear fruit early, but the size of the tomatoes did not please or surprise me. The largest tomato weighed about 150 grams, mostly small ones weighed 50-70 grams. The taste was also not impressive, but they are stored well, last a long time and do not spoil.
Tamara:
I planted tomatoes of this variety for the first time, grew them in the OG and they immediately pleased me with their excellent yield. The very first offspring weighed 150-200 grams.
E. Grinina:
I was amazed by the frost resistance of the variety. May was cold, and the summer was not warm. The tomatoes had to be planted later, but the harvest exceeded all expectations! The tomatoes were even, large, and the yield was almost one and a half times higher than expected. Next year I will plant “Northerner” again.
Alexander:
