Beefsteak Tomato 'Tibet Apple'

  • Product number: 295520
  • Origin: Tibet
  • Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, or also L. esculentum

Growing quite compactly, the name already indicates its great cold resistance! But it also tolerates hot and dry conditions well: typically a variety for multiple climate types. The harvest is fantastic, the fruits are medium-sized (120-280 grams) and multi-chambered, pinkish-red in color with a rich, juicy, and sweet taste. Due to the large harvest, some support for the trusses is recommended. This old landrace probably originated in Tibet.

Do you often grow your tomatoes in the same place, for example in a greenhouse? Then soil diseases can develop, to which rootstocks are resistant, and grafting is therefore recommended:
for grafting tomatoes, use this variety: 291110 Tomato 'Landon'. As an aid, we recommend these grafting clips: 847520 Grafting clip 1.5 mm.

The largest tomatoes in our assortment are called beefsteak tomatoes. This tomato owes its name to the larger amount of flesh (instead of juice). This applies to most varieties in this group, with a few exceptions such as the so-called stuffing tomatoes.

Names:
Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, or also L. esculentum
