Growing

The bush is usually formed into two stems, but one can also be formed. Due to its high growth, it is imperative to tie up and make supports under the branches. This will provide additional wind protection if the tomato is grown outdoors. Responds very well to complex subcortexes.

"Sugar giant" in unprotected soil is best grown in the southern regions. In areas of the middle lane, the bushes will be lower, and the fruits are smaller, but this does not affect the taste. To increase yields in the middle lane, it is better to grow it in film shelters. In more northern regions, it gives a good harvest only in greenhouses.
