The telling name is justified by the distinctive features of the plant.

Recommendations for cultivation
The optimal way to grow tomatoes is by seedlings. Preparatory work begins in March or April. Seedlings require comfortable conditions:
- The room temperature is not lower than 20 degrees. To achieve the best results, the difference between daytime and evening temperatures should be 5-7 degrees, this will allow timely hardening of the plant.
- It is necessary to provide the seedlings with a good source of light. If there is a lack of natural light, use fluorescent lamps.
- Water the plant regularly.
- Before planting, prepare the holes - feed them with ash or complex fertilizer for tomatoes.
IMPORTANT! To achieve a better harvest, the plant should be formed into 1-2 stems.
The variety does not have any special care requirements.It is necessary to fertilize, regularly water, loosen and weed. Due to the significant height of the plant, tying and support are required.
Gardeners' opinion
For the first time I planted the Velikosvetsky tomato variety. According to neighbors, the harvest should have been promising. The result did not disappoint. Tomatoes are distinguished by their meatiness, sweet, sugary taste. An excellent option for lovers of twists, tomato juice and pasta. The fruits ripen early, and the plant itself is unpretentious. I didn't have any problems growing it. I recommend!
