Plant characteristics
Fidelio has a good immune system. It can be grown both in a greenhouse and outdoors. The bush is quite powerful and vigorous.

Therefore, to protect the bush from parasites, it is recommended to treat the leaves and root zone with a special protective solution.
Gardeners call it "kalancha", but with its size the tomato gives a good harvest. In order for the bush to fully manifest its strength, it must be pinned and tied up. Usually gardeners leave two stems for the tomato to show itself well and evenly distribute its energy. This is the only negative of the plant. The leaves are medium in size and dark green in color. The fruits ripen on day 111, so this crop belongs to medium-ripening tomatoes.
