Opinion of gardeners

Good day! Last year I tried a new variety Uncle Styopa. The tomato lives up to its name. Plants reached a height of 2.5 meters. I doubted a good harvest - the summer turned out to be cold. The tomatoes turned out to be resistant, I collected 5 kilograms of berries from a bush. Suitable for northern regions. Recommended!

Uncle Styopa discovered tomatoes. Variety for an amateur, very demanding. To get a good harvest, regular feeding and tying is necessary. The taste of ripe fruits is excellent. Tomatoes are sweet, suitable for fresh consumption and pickling.
