Gardeners' opinion
Good day to all! I would like to recommend Siberian Shangi to tomato lovers. The variety was grown in the Northwestern region, in greenhouse conditions. The plant showed good endurance and productivity. The tomato is not capricious; it required standard care for tall varieties. The berries grew very large, sweet and juicy. For a family of 4 people, one tomato was enough for a salad. I didn’t find any cons for myself.

I recommend Siberian Shangi to all lovers of large-fruited tomatoes. The weight of berries of this variety reaches 800 grams. The taste is excellent. Tomatoes make delicious juice, ketchup and decent pasta. The plant is not demanding in terms of care and is suitable for greenhouse cultivation in areas with cool summers. I recommend!
