The Sonata bush is powerful and sprawling, it is imperative to tie it to a reliable support.The tomato is productive, tasty, but very dense and tough. For canning, this is even good: when you cut into slices, the juice does not flow out. But for salads, I would choose a softer variety. (Ekaterina Stepanovna, Moscow region, Mozhaisk).

Reviews about the tomato "Sonata NK F1" and read its description on the site about tomatoes. The variety interested me, I planted 4 bushes. A very good tomato. If you follow all the rules of cultivation, you can achieve an impressive harvest. The only minus of a tomato is that the fruits are harsh, as if you are nibbling cucumbers. First time I've encountered this. And the taste is very pleasant, a little sweet. And the tomatoes are very beautiful: bright, even, glossy. I definitely recommend this variety.

Since the fruits are miniature and beautiful, they can be used to decorate dishes or for receptions.They are also good for rolling into jars for the winter. I am sure that I will definitely plant this tomato again. (Yulia Vladislavovna, Republic of Bashkortostan, Sterlitamak).
