Tomato reviews
The Super Banana tomato variety is quite widely known among experienced summer residents. We invite you to familiarize yourself with the most interesting opinions of gardeners about it.
I read reviews on the Internet about the excellent yield of the Super Banana tomato and decided to plant it in my summer cottage. The harvest was indeed quite good, but it was not so easy to obtain. In the greenhouse, the tomato grew up to two meters high and interfered with other plants. This is a big minus for me. But tomatoes are still very tasty, so next year I will experiment and plant “Super Banana” in open ground, although this is not recommended by experts. (Olga Dmitrievna, Yoshkar-Ola)
I heard about this tomato from a friend and made inquiries. I liked the characteristics and description of the variety and decided to plant it in my dacha. But she made a serious mistake by planting “Super Banana” outside the greenhouse. The result is late blight. And my friend’s tomatoes in the greenhouse grew large, juicy and sweet. Therefore, I advise you to grow it exclusively in greenhouse conditions. (Rosa, Naberezhnye Chelny)
Our whole family loved these beautiful banana tomatoes. Firstly, they are very tasty and juicy, and secondly, they are beautiful to look at. They can be a wonderful decoration for any dish. I recommend this unusual tomato variety to everyone. (Valentina Fedorovna, Moscow)
I have been growing “Super Banana” in a greenhouse for three years now. There are no complaints about the variety. These tomatoes are good both fresh and pickled. They look very beautiful in jars, just a sight for sore eyes - one tomato is more beautiful than the other. And the taste is simply magical. (Irina Petrovna, Saratov)
Before planting “Super Banana”, I advise you to first learn about the features of this tomato. Namely, that it can grow more than 2 meters in height. I think not every gardener is ready for such a surprise. I wasn’t ready and had a lot of trouble with this banana. But in fairness, I note that the fruits are very juicy, sweet and fleshy. So maybe it was worth it. (Sergey Semenovich, Tver)
The variety is capricious, but the result is very good. The lecho made from these tomatoes is simply divine. (Tamara Sergeevna, Oktyabrsky)
