Reviews
Thanks to its excellent characteristics, the Eastern Star hybrid quickly gained popularity among vegetable growers.
We present to your attention several of his assessments.
- The description of the “Star of the East” variety is practically no different from the characteristics of other hybrids, but from year to year I choose it. Firstly, it produces an excellent harvest; secondly, very tasty; thirdly, it is suitable for any experiments in the kitchen. For those looking for a really good tomato, I recommend choosing “Star of the East”. (Olga Dmitrievna, Voronezh region, Liski)
- I heard only positive reviews about the Eastern Star f1 tomato. I haven’t planted it myself yet, I’m just planning to. But the neighbor gave me a few tomatoes to try. The taste is unusual, pleasant, slightly sweet. The salad variety, as I understand it, is exactly what I was looking for. I will plant next season. (Svetlana Arkadyevna, Kostroma)
- Simply a great hybrid! Unlike some of our neighbors in the greenhouse, I didn’t catch the tobacco mosaic, which we were immensely happy about. As for taste, the variety also showed good results here. The taste is very delicate and sweet, with barely noticeable sourness. (Valeria Andreevna, St. Petersburg)
- How I love hybrids for their amazingly large yield. 35 kg per square meter is a serious indicator. I especially note that “Star of the East” is almost picky and does not require complex care. I also liked it because it stood up well to long-term storage in the refrigerator. (Valentina Vasilievna, Tambov)
- There are no comments about the tomato. Beautiful, tasty, unpretentious. We will plant more if we don’t find something better. (Olesya, Obninsk)
- The variety is simply irreplaceable for fresh salads. Fleshy and juicy fruits give them a unique taste. But I didn’t like these tomatoes at all when marinated. They turned out kind of unpleasant, viscous (I don’t know where the viscosity came from). But apparently each variety has its own purpose. (Alina, Kazan)
