Review of reviews about the variety
Thanks to its high yield and massive fruits, the variety received positive reviews from grateful gardeners.
- Marina from Voronezh: I planted Knyaz last season to try, I really liked the tomatoes. Large, juicy, one bush yielded about 20 tomatoes weighing 300–500 grams. We squeezed the juice out of them and made paste. The products turned out very tasty. But I didn’t dare to preserve it. Size too big.
- Gennady from Belarus: I plant tomato bushes every summer, once I came across Prince Silver seeds. I liked the description, the bush is tall, up to 10 clusters ripen on one bush as it grows. The tomatoes are large; one fruit is enough for a bowl of salad for the whole family. Tasty, sweet, fruitful. I didn't find any negative characteristics. Now I recommend it to my friends and relatives.
Judging by the reviews, tomatoes have many positive qualities and, with the right agricultural technology, will surprise any gardener, even a beginner, with their beautiful fruits.
