• Decent tomato. The tomatoes were large - 500-600 g, especially the first ones. The bush, however, was a little weak, did not grow even up to one and a half meters. Grew in 2 stalks. In appearance, the fruits are very beautiful, similar to a helmet, hence the name. (Ksenia Igorevna, Kostroma)
• I learned about the Pink Helmet tomato from a friend. She described the characteristics of the variety to me, told me about a good yield - 8 kg per bush. The tomato is really good, but my results were a little more modest. It's all about experience, I guess. By the way, in the middle lane, the Pink Helmet is only suitable for a greenhouse. Will not grow outdoors. (Varvara Andreevna, Kirov region, Slobodskoy)
• Growing this variety has brought me a pleasure. I can leave only rave reviews about it. First, he is completely unpretentious. Secondly, it gives an excellent harvest, subject to the elementary rules of agricultural technology. Thirdly, the pickles are simply divine. Added to the piggy bank of the best varieties.(Valeria Vyacheslavovna, Dolgoprudny, Moscow Region)
