Testimonials

Maria, 50 years old, Tula

I don't really like planting hybrids, because you can't harvest seeds from them. And then I decided to try the Iskander F1 zucchini. The reviews about him were already very good. There were only 5 seeds in the bag - for a sample it was just that, but, in general, not enough. I planted them, along with other seeds, immediately on the garden bed. Everything has risen! Tidy bushes quickly formed and fruit set. The variety impressed me with its harvest. I even had to distribute, since besides it, I planted other varieties. The fruits taste great, very tender. Definitely, I will take more!

I have been planting it for 5 years already. It bears excellent fruit and does not require special care. The fruits grow so much that they have to distribute to the neighbors. I recommend.
