Variety opinions
Good day! This summer I tried a new variety for myself - Ivanhoe.For cultivation, a tall greenhouse or film shelter is required. The tomato is tall, the bush grows up to 2 meters. The plant is resistant to most diseases and does not require any special care. The yield is decent, from a bush she received up to three kilograms of berries. Taste quality is excellent.

I advise all lovers of early varieties to try Ivanhoe. The fruits can be harvested as early as 90 days after planting the seeds. Tomato prefers the classic - seedling method of planting. Loves feed and needs a garter. The berries are sweet, medium-sized - no more than 180 grams. The fruit is suitable for salads and winter preparations. Recommend!
