In this case, the bush has an average branching, and you can get the maximum yield only if the plant is formed in 3 stems.

This development of the aerial part suggests that the bush will spend less effort on building up green mass, and more on the formation of fruits.

The peculiarity of this variety is the clearly heart-shaped form of the berries. Color - red with a barely noticeable orange tint. It should also be noted that the fruits have a distinct green spot near the stem. The average weight of tomatoes is an unimaginable 400 grams, which, as you understand, turn into several kilograms on one bush, which obliges you to make a garter of a plant.
