Cross-pollinated tomato
- Product number: 186300
- Origin: South America
- Latin: Solanum spontaneum
Unknown, yet delicious substitute for our familiar tomato! The plant strongly resembles a tomato, but with a somewhat looser growth habit. So, growing it with stakes or along netting is useful. Each truss produces as many as 30 orange-yellow fruits (1.2 g) with a diameter of 1 cm; we counted 500 fruits from 1 plant in one year! The taste is sweet with a pleasant berry aroma. Because of its taste, but even more so because of its appearance, we have christened this fruit the "cross-pollinated tomato." Enjoy an annual harvest; it can be grown outdoors or in a greenhouse.
