I used to grow tomatoes, but I was already tired of the same varieties, and I wanted to try a new one. A friend gave Altai saplings. I read the description of the variety on the Internet. At first, a tall bush grew, and I thought that nothing would come of it.But by the middle of summer it returned to normal, and the bush began to bear its first fruits. I want to note that the yield is high. In addition, the fruits are universal, I used and preserved them for salads. Wonderful tomatoes. Recommend.
