Super-early Dutch greenhouse tomatoes

Dutch-bred tomatoes are popular among Russian gardeners due to their disease resistance and high marketability. There's a vast selection of seeds, but in most regions of the country, the super-early Dutch tomatoes are primarily grown in greenhouses. They produce fruit and ripen on the vine before the onset of cold weather, which is important in temperate climates. Greenhouse-ripened fruits are uniform in shape, suitable for storage and transportation. While their flavor may not be as rich as traditional varieties, hybrids offer excellent yields and early harvesting.
