Ping-Pong Tomato 'Stupicke Polni Rane'

  • Product number: 291770
  • Origin: Central Europe
  • Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, or also L. esculentum

This is a Czech variety that originated around 1946 in the town of Stupice near Prague. The name means "Early Field Stupice". The compact plants produce small, juicy, and very tasty tomatoes (40-70g) very early in the season. Its disease resistance (Phytophthora), due to cross-breeding with a wild tomato, is remarkable! Ideal for growing outdoors, even in pots...
If you frequently grow tomatoes in the same spot, 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 may be why they are generally more resistant to the dreaded potato blight.

Names:
Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, or also L. esculentum

Also: Vroege Veld Stupice (Early Field Stupice)
