Wonderfully soft and sweet... that's the taste experience you get with this olive-shaped tomato. It has a dark red colour with a blue-black tip, and its size is somewhere between an olive and a small plum. The climbing plants grow to about 150 cm high and produce long trusses full of fruit weighing approximately 50 g. Yeste is a medieval town in south-eastern Spain, and this tomato probably originates from there...
If you often grow your tomatoes in the same place, for example in a greenhouse, diseases can develop in the soil. Rootstocks are resistant to these diseases, making grafting advisable:
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 named accordingly. 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 is probably why they are generally more resistant to the feared potato blight.
