How gardeners rated the tomato
Hardworking gardeners have given excellent reviews of Red Sugar. They like the unusual grainy pulp, sweet juice, and thin skin. The fruits are original in salads and slices.
The skin does not interfere with swallowing pieces. Canned food becomes sweet naturally. Extended fruiting makes people happy: you can enjoy tomatoes until autumn.
The low transportability, the tendency to be affected by fungal diseases, and sensitivity to waterlogging are disappointing. We have to regularly fight pests (garden snails). They liked the sweetness and softness.
