WOW!!!!! What a beauty!!!! And I put it off for this year 😞 I decided to plant Chudo Zemli (Wonder of the Earth) instead of it. Now I don’t even know what to do 🤦♀️
Olya, plant at least 1 bush of it… I have almost all new varieties planned for myself this season, but I will definitely plant 2 bushes of Shuntuk Giant.
Impressive 👍
I’ve planted it for 3 years now, I really like it for both its yield and taste.
A very worthy variety. It showed good yield even outdoors in open ground. Meaty, tasty, and sweet 😋.
