I grew Solokha for 3 years, always getting fruits that were quite large and corresponded to the description on the package. Every year I try to plant this variety, because from year to year the plant pleases with a high yield. Not a single variety I have planted has made me so happy. The fruits grew in different sizes, but always had a pleasant aroma and juicy taste. The plant itself, although tall, is not spreading. It does not require special care. The main thing is to water it on time and everything will be fine. I recommend!

I planted Solokha last year. I really liked this variety. In the summer, as usual, there were problems with watering, and sometimes there simply weren’t enough resources to water the plant properly, but it didn’t take offense and gave a good harvest. There were a lot of ovaries, and then large tomatoes. I will plant it next year too. I am very happy about this discovery. I regret that I didn’t know earlier.
