Grade Reviews
- Tatyana Lapteva, 41 years old: Hello. I tried a lot of varieties of tomatoes, last year I decided to try Marianne. This is a mid-early variety, although I prefer the early ones, since in our climate (Belarus) tomatoes may not ripen, it so happened that they had to pick tomatoes green. I really liked the shape of tomatoes in the form of plums, it is convenient to roll up in jars. The manufacturer claims that on one bush there can be 90 or more fruits. I tied a maximum of 50, maybe because of the climate. I liked the variety, despite the expensive seeds.
- Elena Fadeeva, 37 years old: Seeds have sprouted very well, there is no need to process anything. The bushes are sturdy, compact, neat. Adult plants are also squat, they did not measure height, but about 40-45 cm. Tied and ripen well, all fruits turn red almost simultaneously. For tomato juice, perhaps a little dry, but for salads and spins are very good. Plants did not hurt, treated only from aphids. Bear fruit abundantly, bushes are all hung with tomatoes. Seeds are expensive, this season I’ll try to germinate already from my harvest.
