Cherry Tomato 'Villach' F1

Product number: 291824
Origin: Central America
Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum

Strong, disease-resistant bush tomato, which remains compact and can therefore be grown very well in pots or containers! The yellow, round fruits (8 grams) taste fresh and sweet and grow in short trusses around the heart of the plant. You can pick fresh cherry tomatoes all summer long.

The smallest tomatoes in our assortment are called cherry tomatoes or ping-pong tomatoes, depending on their size. Some varieties are elongated or heart-shaped and are accordingly given a slightly different name. Some are even original, wild species. Most taste extra sweet, a few have a sweet and sour taste. Cherry tomatoes are closest to the original species, which is probably why they are generally more resistant to the dreaded potato blight.
