- I can only leave positive reviews about this tomato.It is not at all difficult to grow, and the yield is very pleasing. The tomatoes are healthy, bright red, slightly ribbed. They turned out to be simply ideal for fresh salads. Also perfect for homemade preparations. Next year I will plant again and more. I also recommended it to all my friends.

- We met Akulina only this year and are very happy about it. We have probably never had such juicy and meaty tomatoes. Both whole fruits and slices are suitable for rolling into jars. We also made tomato sauce and lecho. It turned out very tasty. In addition, they are bright and beautiful to look at and have become an excellent decoration for our greenhouse.
