Reviews of De Barao

Aster"These are good tomatoes. They're easy to grow here, resistant to severe frosts, and thrive in regular soil without requiring any special fertilizers or additives. However, they need to be sown early to get a bountiful harvest. I start in February."

Tanya"I don't know about tomato de barao, characteristics and description of the variety. I see mostly positive reviews. Someone recommended I try them, but last year it didn't work out for me. Maybe I did something wrong?"

Anna"I prefer the pink and red De Barao. I can't stand the black at all, and yellow isn't my thing, although others like it. But everyone has their own taste. The tomatoes themselves are small, perfect for canning whole. They can ripen for a long time indoors. I recommend planting several varieties of each, a little at a time. Then you can decide which you like best. The pink variety will produce fewer fruits compared to the red one."
