Cherry Tomato 'Red Shapovka' / 'Red Shapochka' / Krasnaya S

As the name suggests, this variety comes from Russia. A strong dwarf, 25 cm high, great for hanging baskets, balcony boxes, or flower pots! The red fruits taste as a tomato should: sweet with sufficient aroma. We were given the name Red Shapovka, but I suspect it should be Krasnaya (=Red) Shapochka (=Little Red Riding Hood). A more logical name for a red tomato, wouldn't you agree?
If you often grow your tomatoes in the same spot, for example in a greenhouse (or mini-greenhouse), diseases can develop in the soil. Rootstocks are resistant to these diseases, and grafting is therefore recommended:
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 accordingly given a slightly different name. 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 may be why they are generally more resistant to the feared potato blight.
