Reviews
Hybrid "Sonata NK F1" appeared on the tomato market relatively recently, but quickly gained popularity among vegetable growers. We have collected for you some of the most interesting tomato ratings.
The bush of "Sonata" is powerful and spreading, it is obligatory to tie it to a reliable support. The tomato is fruitful, tasty, but very dense and tough. For canning, this is even good: when you cut into slices, the juice does not flow out. But for salads, I would choose a softer variety. (Ekaterina Stepanovna, Moscow region, Mozhaisk).
I read reviews of the "Sonata NK F1" tomato and its description on the site about tomatoes. The variety interested me, planted 4 bushes. Very good tomato. If you follow all the rules of cultivation, you can achieve an impressive harvest. The only minus of the tomato is that the fruits are harsh, as if you are gnawing cucumbers. This is the first time I've encountered this. And the taste is very pleasant, a little sweetish. And the tomatoes are very beautiful: bright, smooth, glossy. I definitely recommend this variety. (Lyudmila Mikhailovna, Petrozavodsk).
The "Sonata" variety has pleased us with an excellent harvest. I collected 54 delicious, juicy tomatoes from the garden, cute in appearance and the same size. Since the fruits are tiny and beautiful, they can be used to decorate dishes or for buffets. They are also good for rolling in jars for the winter. I am sure I will definitely plant this tomato again. (Yulia Vladislavovna, Republic of Bashkortostan, Sterlitamak).
