General information
Raspberry Paradise was bred by experienced breeders from Siberia and became suitable for growing both in open and closed ground. The name of the tomato is due to its beautiful appearance and sweet taste, which is quite rare among its relatives.

Such actions are carried out solely for the purpose of obtaining profit from the sale of seed.
Gardeners first met the Raspberry Paradise variety in 2015. It was then that it was first included in the State Register, and the seeds went into retail. Thanks to the tempting characteristics, summer residents immediately became interested in the novelty and decided to test it on their backyard plots. Farmers could not resist the temptation either. I must admit that there were almost no negative reviews, and the tomato made an incredible sensation. In 2017, another equally worthy variety from the same series was presented - Raspberry Heart Tomato whose description does not promise an early harvest. But breeders promise long-term fruiting, an unusual heart-shaped fruit and excellent taste characteristics. Perhaps he will soon become a worthy competitor to Raspberry Paradise.

Crops should be well lit, and irrigation should be done with extremely warm water using a watering can or a spray bottle. Seedlings are planted 2 months after the emergence of seedlings. A week before this, the plants are gradually hardened, taking them out for several hours in fresh air. Every day, the time spent by seedlings in the open air is increased. In no case should direct sunlight be allowed on young tomatoes, otherwise they will get burned.
