The weight of each copy can range from 350 grams to half a kilogram. The color of unripe fruits is green, but in a state of full maturity, they become a spectacular honey-yellow color with a so-called cap, which is painted in a pink tint.

But in any case, care will include the main activities typical for growing tall bushes that bring large yields of large fruits. This is tying not only the trunk to the support, but also brushes with tomatoes. Moderate watering is also important, followed by mandatory loosening and the use of mulch.
A plant needs different micronutrients at each stage of growth. All fertilizers can be divided into two groups: mineral and organic. Folk remedies are often used: iodine, yeast, bird droppings, eggshells.
