  • Product number: 291800
  • Origin: Central and South America
  • Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, also known as L. esculentum

Red, cocktail-type with a lot of red, sweet fruits. We use several improvements of the popular 'Sweet-100' variety, all providing a large harvest of deliciously sweet, cherry-sized fruits. The plants are tall, up to 2 m in the greenhouse, outdoors they can be pruned after 1.5 m. The disease susceptibility of cherry tomatoes is low, so the chance of a large harvest is high!
If you often grow your tomatoes in the same place, for example in a 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 given a slightly different name 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 is perhaps why they are generally more resistant to the feared potato blight.

Names:
Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, or L. esculentum
