- Product number: 291162
- Origin: Central and South America
- Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, or also L. esculentum
This historic variety has been very popular in Germany since the 19th century. If you've been loved that long, you must have something to offer! The climbing plants have a sturdy main stem and bear heavy, wide trusses with sometimes more than 20 fruits per truss. The red fruits (3-4 cm) are deliciously sweet and still score high in taste tests.
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 may be why they are generally more resistant to the dreaded potato blight.
