Its name is a miracle-tomato was not without reason - a tomato tree, like an octopus, braids the entire frame of the greenhouse built for it. The main features of this type of tomato are a huge energy of growth, power, yield and resistance to disease. He genetically incorporated a powerful root system and a well-developed surface sheet device.

The brush of the Sprut F1 hybrid is laid in two or three sheets. Each of them gives 5-6 fruits with an average mass of 100-160 grams. Tomatoes have a rounded shape, fleshy, juicy, with excellent taste qualities.
