Good day everyone! This summer I discovered the Plum Black tomato. An unpretentious indeterminate plant perfectly tolerated the cool and rainy summers of the Northwest region. It is important to dive the plant in time and tie up the bush. The berries have grown very sweet and juicy. For table decoration, this is ideal. I advise!
