Reviews about the tomato variety Apple Spas
Daria, 31 years old:
“I liked tomatoes because they don’t require a lot of attention to care for. I only applied fertilizer several times a season. Productivity was high. I didn’t like the vegetables fresh, but they were perfect for canning. In a jar, tomatoes do not crack and retain their taste. Due to their small size, it’s convenient to roll up vegetables whole.”
Valentin, 47 years old:
“Apple Spas has recently become my favorite tomato. Ripe vegetables make delicious tomato juices, lecho and ketchups. Suitable for salads too. We ate fresh tomatoes all summer. They taste juicy and sweet with an incredible aroma. In the fall, after picking, the green fruits had time to turn red, and ripe vegetables did not spoil for a long time. I also liked this variety because I didn’t have to take much care of it. It is enough to organize proper watering and remove weeds from the site on time. The lack of care had no effect on the yield.”
