Expert opinions, real reviews and comments
Reading reviews on the pages of magazines and thematic forums for gardeners, you can encounter not only the positive views of experienced gardeners.
You can get acquainted with different points of view using the following comments taken from one of the sites:
- Just great! I was very impressed with the variety, I especially liked the pulp.Next year I’ll plant more, but I’ll try not in a greenhouse, but in open ground (I live in the south).
- I have already planted seeds of this variety and did not like it at all. The tomatoes grew really big (about 700 g per fruit), but tasteless. My wife tried to make at least something out of them, but half had to be disposed of. Perhaps this is because I tried to limit the growth of the trunks. My greenhouse can withstand a maximum of 2 meters, and the Giant’s height is up to 3. Maybe I’ll try again, but in open ground.
- We had never grown tall hybrid tomatoes before; my husband and I thought it wouldn’t work, we live in the north, plus the greenhouse is not suitable for plants of such a height. I was very surprised by the result. Early, tasty, the first fruits were very large (800 g), neighbors came - they did not believe that this was possible at all. For three years now I have not been able to find the same seeds, nor have I found a replacement.
- I have been growing this variety for several years in a row in open ground, now it has red fruits, but there are also a lot of green ones.
