Cassandra F1 is an early bush tomato hybrid with a genetically predetermined beak, characterized by vigorous growth and a powerful root system. The plant forms 5‑6 trusses, reaches a height of up to 0.8 m, making it low-growing and convenient for growing in greenhouses and open ground. The determinate plant type ensures uniform fruit ripening, while its photophilic nature allows for successful cultivation even in less well-lit areas.

When planting, it is recommended to use a density of 200‑350 seeds per hundred square meters, planting scheme – 2–3 plants per m².
