Recommendations for growing the plant
The originator recommends growing plants using the seedling method. Preparatory work begins a couple of months before the planting date. Seed material is placed at a depth of 1.5–2 centimeters in pre-moistened soil. Strong seedlings are obtained by maintaining the room temperature at 21 degrees. When the first true leaves appear, the seedlings are transplanted into separate pots. The light-loving plant requires a lot of sunlight.Sprouts must be exposed to light for at least 16 hours a day.
After hardening, the seedlings are planted in the ground. Up to three bushes are placed per square meter of land. Subsequent care activities consist of timely watering, tying and installing supports, loosening the soil, feeding and removing weeds.
Gardeners' opinion
Good day! Last year I tried to grow a new tomato variety, Big Rainbow. The variety is demanding, loves feeding, requires tying up. In the North-West region, cultivation can only be done in protected soil conditions. The harvest was decent, the fruits were large and sweet. The berries have an unusual color. The variety is for everyone, I liked it. I leave positive reviews for the American originator.

Good afternoon! For lovers of large-fruited tomatoes, I recommend Big Rainbow. The plant from American breeders requires moderate attention, loves feeding and requires garter. Does not tolerate sudden changes in temperature; it must be grown in greenhouse conditions. The color of ripe fruits is red with yellow streaks, the taste is excellent. I recommend!
