• mid-early (ripens in 100-120 days);
• indeterminate (endless process of growth);
• tall (the bush stretches up to two meters);
• carpal (the fruits of the variety are perfectly symmetrical);
• productive (with proper care it bears up to 20 kg of fruit).

It is advisable to grow a plant with such qualities indoors or in a greenhouse. Within its walls, the yield will be maximum, and the quality of the juicy fruits will pleasantly surprise every summer resident.

But the fruits ripened among the first, the taste was good, just right for all sorts of preparations. Excellent variety, one of my favorites now, I recommend it!!
2. I planted “Palenka” a year ago, nothing but delight. Yield, you can’t think of anything better for jars.
3. I planted Palenka a year ago, the harvest is excellent, the berries are sweet and firm + the harvest really doesn’t spoil for a very long time!!!
4. I've grown tomatoes like this before. In my opinion, the best hybrid, productive and the taste is simply great!!! Today I was at the garden center, looking for seeds, but none yet. I’ll look for it, I’d like to plant it again.
