Cherry Tomato 'Petite Forida' / 'Florida Petite'

  • Product number: 291550
  • Origin: Central America
  • Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, or also L. esculentum

A dwarf variety (30 cm high) with small, red cherry tomatoes. Can you already picture them growing in your planter? These plants are very suitable for that. They also do excellently behind the windowsill! They are not sugary sweet but aromatic with a fine acidity.
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 therefore grafting is recommended:
for grafting tomatoes, use this variety: 291110 Tomato 'Landon'. As a tool, 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, which is perhaps why they are generally more resistant to the dreaded potato blight.

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