Cherry tomato 'Patio Plum' F1

An endearingly eccentric little tomato with firm, wrinkled, dark green leaves that closely resemble those of Cavolo Nero (but much smaller...).
The growth habit of the plants is also peculiar: upright, short, and compact, with little branching. The main stems only grow to about 60 to 80 cm high and produce a few side shoots, which do not need to be pinched out. Due to their small size, the plants fit perfectly in 3 to 5-litre pots; use stakes for support.
The fruits are olive-shaped with a diameter of about 25 mm and ripen from light green to red. A firm skin encloses the pulp, which is both juicy and tasty - a delicious treat!

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, while a few have a sweet and sour taste. Cherry tomatoes are closest to the original species, which is perhaps why they are generally more resistant to the dreaded potato blight.
