Cherry Tomato 'Tomadose des Comores'

  • Product number: 291190
  • Origin: Central America
  • Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, or also L. esculentum

Delicious red cherry tomato, which apparently grew on the island of Comoros, once a French colony. The medium-sized plants stand firmly in large pots or in the garden and the fruits remain on the vine for a long time without falling off.
Do you often grow your tomatoes in the same place, for example in a greenhouse? Then diseases can develop in the soil, which rootstocks are resistant to, 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 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, perhaps that is why they are generally more resistant to the dreaded potato blight.

Names:
Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, or also L. esculentum
Dutch: Kerstomaat
Also: Pingpongtomaat
English: Cherry Tomato
