Reviews

Aleksey, Omsk

Planted Sweet cherry for 8 years. Variety without problems: does not get sick, bears fruit for a long time. It does not overwhelm with tomatoes, but it ripens early and the tomatoes are sweet. I am not engaged in the formation of a bush, if possible, sometimes I remove stepchildren. Bushes grow in 3-4 stems. I don’t plant a lot of this variety, no more than 4 bushes.
