“I have been using Olenka tomatoes for three years already, I don’t get a particularly high yield, but thanks to the good resistance of plants, fruits are there in any weather. The neat shape of the tomatoes allows them to be used for beautiful serving, and the bushes always look good on the site, so I often plant them in the foreground. "

“I used to grow old varieties without being interested in new ones. However, I heard reviews about this variety from a neighbor who planted it, and decided to try it myself. I studied the characteristics and description of the tomato variety Olya and began to grow. The result pleased me: it is easy to take care of the plants, and the yield is quite high. Neat and tasty fruits are formed, which are convenient to roll into jars and are pleasant to eat right from the bush. "
Svetlana M., Novosibirsk:
“This year I decided to try Olya for the first time. I grew it in a greenhouse. I liked the high yield, disease resistance of the plant. However, the taste is not very - close to the store, there is no such pleasant aroma as the old varieties. But even and beautiful brushes look good, you can boast of such. "
