- The plant can survive for a long time without watering.
- The tomato is immune to many “tomato” diseases.
- Excellent yield. With proper agricultural technology, a tomato yields more than 5 kg per bush.
- Extended fruiting. Tomatoes ripen in 2-3 waves. Instances from the first harvest are no different from subsequent ones.
- The thick skin holds its shape during transportation. Heavy, prolonged rainfall does not cause fruit cracking.
Attention! The variety firmly holds ripe fruits on the bushes. This point is especially important for summer residents who travel out of town only on weekends.

Best reviews from our readers
I grew it in 2021 - exactly the same as De Barao pink. Height 2.5 and more, medium late, fleshy, sweet, dense, beautiful, weight 90 g, good yield.
This is a complete replica of the Spanish Pink variety! Simply due to cultivation in more favorable weather conditions, Kazakhstan produces more fruits and sweetness because... there is plenty of sun. By no means an independent variety!

Hybrids – green revolution
“AiF”: – It was in the nineties that our gardeners discovered foreign hybrids of vegetables. A flood of imported seeds poured into the country and they noticeably replaced domestic ones in sales. Who's winning now?
S.G.: – None of the producers choose hybrids based on nationality - they take what is more productive, sustainable and in demand by the market. And now foreign hybrids prevail in many crops. However, we hold the lead in cucumber: 70–80% of hybrids are domestic. Tomatoes - 20-30%, but hybrids of sweet peppers, eggplants, especially onions are almost all Dutch - our varieties for these crops predominate.
“AiF”: – Why do you think that it would be better to completely switch from varieties to hybrids?
S.G.: – Hybrids are more resistant to diseases, more flexible, more productive, they are more early ripening. The technology for producing a hybrid allows one to quickly create specimens with combinations of many desired traits - for example, with resistance to several diseases at once
A variety with the same qualities takes several times longer to create, and these days it is very important to respond to the demands of the time as quickly as possible
“AiF”: – But hybrid seeds are more expensive and need to be purchased annually. Sometimes people are simply trying to avoid additional costs.
S.G.: – Modern hybrids have 2–4 times higher yields than varieties. If you count the additional costs for seeds (and they rarely exceed 1% of the cost of the products received) and the gain in products, there will be no doubt. Summer residents spend money, effort, and a huge amount of time on cultivation, and they have the right to expect maximum returns. So most people are already choosing hybrids.

Syzran pipochka is a wonderful variety of tomatoes. My grandmother grew it, and now my parents always plant it every year. We propagate them ourselves and have distributed the seeds to all our relatives and friends. Tomato fruits have an unusual shape and do not crack when canned. Very productive tomatoes, and the taste is excellent.
Dmitry, 37 years old, Belgorod
I bought Syzran Pipochka tomatoes based on reviews and didn’t regret it at all. I've been planting them for several years now. The bush is about 2 m high and must be pinched and tied up. The fruits are pink, fragrant and sweet, all about the same size. An average of 5 tomatoes with an average weight of 100 g ripen in a bunch. The tomatoes are stored for a long time, you can prepare salads with them or use them for canning.

Syzran tomatoes are among the most delicious. Last year I tried the Syzran Pipochka variety of tomatoes from a neighbor and decided to plant them on my plot. The fruits are quite small, but this is fully compensated by their taste. The pulp is sweet, dense and fleshy. I marinate tomatoes and add them to assorted vegetables for the winter. Due to their excellent taste, you can add them to salads.
