The pick is carried out in the phase of 2 true leaves. Correctly grown seedlings are strong, stocky, transplant well. The gardener does not need Petrusha's stepping. But during the ripening period of the crop, it is better to tie the bush to a support, otherwise numerous and heavy fruits can bend the stem. Choose a sunny place for disembarkation. The recommended planting density is up to 6 plants per square meter. Agrotechnology does not differ from the care of the crop as a whole. In greenhouses, the plant is prone to fruit cracking and fungal diseases (apical rot).

To speed up ripening, it is recommended to remove the first tomatoes in a state of blanche ripeness. Since the variety is relatively new, it is difficult to get a complete picture of its characteristics. But there are much more positive reviews about him than negative ones.
