Karina, 37 years old:
“The best tomato that grew on the site. Vegetables began to ripen at the end of July. The fruits are large and taste sweet. They go well in salads and for meals. Bush care is minimal. The bushes were not watered all summer. They only applied fertilizers for yield. It is necessary to tie up the bushes due to the severity of the fruits. The branches are breaking."

Mature bushes are tall and leafy. Tomatoes on each branch are formed in clusters. Ripe vegetables have a pleasant, sweetish taste. The Vladimir tomato is undemanding, but the yield remains high. The first harvest began in August.”
