(Garik Batrov) - I have been growing Anna banana tomatoes (also called Russian tomatoes) for three years now. But only now, when they are ripe, I realized what kind of variety it was. I don’t have a very large greenhouse, so I grow them in two or three trunks. And this year I decided to try to grow them in open ground in three stems, that is, to form them into one stem. Overall I have a very good harvest. The variety is very productive; I collect up to two buckets from each bush per season.
