Cherry Tomato 'Phyra'

  • Product number: 291570
  • Origin: South America
  • Latin: Lycopersicon ?

This cherry tomato is unchanged, just as it occurs in the wild... Phyra remains quite compact, doesn't produce much foliage, grows widely branched, and yields a large harvest of mildly sweet (very small) fruits. The flesh melts on the tongue, with a soft texture: a real treat! This very disease-resistant variety grows beautifully in a pot: plant a few in one large pot, and you can expect a fountain of fruits!
Do you often grow your tomatoes in the same spot, for example, in a greenhouse? Then diseases can develop in the soil, which rootstocks are resistant to, 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 given a slightly different name accordingly. Some are even original, wild species. Most taste extra sweet; a few have a sweet-sour taste. Cherry tomatoes are closest to the original species, which is probably why they are generally more resistant to the dreaded potato blight.
