Ping-pong tomato 'Me Tarzan'

  • Product number: 291443
  • Origin: Central and South America
  • Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, or also L. esculentum

ENJOY AND EXPLORE! Our grower created a fascinating and varied mix of small tomatoes in many shapes and colors, most just a tad larger than a cherry tomato. Dark red, almost white, orange and red, in shapes: round, olive, teardrop and pear-shaped.

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.

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

Sowing method: Sow indoors from March to May. When seedlings are 5 cm tall, transplant them into pots. Place them in a very bright location and harden them off outdoors from April when the weather is good. Do not plant them outdoors before the end of May. Tomato plants use a lot of water. For this taller or (in a greenhouse) climbing type, side shoots (suckers) must be removed regularly. Plant spacing 60-80 cm.
