Characteristics of super early varieties and hybrids
Holland is a country with a rather harsh climate, in July the air temperature reaches only 17 degrees. That is why breeders had to work a lot to create tomatoes with a short ripening period of fruits, adapted to greenhouse conditions.
Lady Shady F1
Unpretentious determinant hybrid of the first line. Ripening occurs early - after 98-104 days from germination.
Ornamental bushes, reaching a height of 50-60 cm, with moderate foliage, branching and a powerful root system. The plant forms 7-8 fruit-bearing clusters, each of which forms 4-5 tomatoes.

The mass of tomatoes ranges from 120 to 200 g. 4-6 kg are collected from the bush. The fruits are used both fresh and in preparations. They have a special taste in ketchups, sauces and juices.
The hybrid is able to withstand short dry periods and is resistant to temperature extremes.
Esmira F1
