Gardeners' opinion
Good day! I advise nightshade lovers to plant the Nocturne variety. The whole family liked the hybrid plant. Not capricious to grow, easy to care for and a productive plant suitable for the North-West region. The fruits are distinguished by their sweet taste, juiciness and pleasant aroma. I didn’t find any cons for myself.

Greetings to all tomato lovers! I recently discovered the German variety Nocturne. The early-ripening plant is resistant to most diseases, loves feeding and responds well to abundant watering. In the North-West region, it can only be grown in greenhouse conditions. Even a small greenhouse will do; the height of the bushes is small. The berries are very tasty, suitable for salads and fresh consumption. Fans of preparations will be able to preserve tomatoes. I recommend!
