Growers' ratings

Tamara Semenovna, Ruzaevka, Republic of Mordovia: “At first, the frail bushes of this variety upset me, but then they surprised me, because they gave a big harvest. Grown in two stems. The fruits are delicious, just melt in your mouth, but not at all stale. After a couple of days, they begin to "blur". But if you don’t think for a long time and process the tomato right away, everything will be fine. And it's just perfect for recycling.”

Alexandra Sergeevna, Novozybkov, Bryansk region: “The rusty heart of Everett is a sweet and juicy tomato. Plus, it's fruitful. About 8 kg of tomatoes per bush. Coloring tricolor. Suitable for juices, for rolling into jars whole and in slices. I recommend the variety to all lovers of unusual tomatoes.”

Maria Alexandrovna, Maloyaroslavets, Kaluga region: “This tomato is a miracle of selection. These are perhaps the most delicious tomatoes I have ever tried. Sweet, juicy, meaty. But here's the paradox: with a fairly dense skin, Everett's Rusted Heart is completely unstorable.And if you pick the fruits from the bush ahead of time, the taste will not be so outstanding. Despite this drawback, this variety is still worth growing in your garden.”
