Small, red Roma tomato from Latvia and Russia with very good harvest results in the Netherlands. The plants can grow up to 4 m high in the greenhouse and are quite resistant to Phytophthora. This variety is sometimes (understandably) mistakenly called a "Tomato Tree" because of its enormous growth vigour!
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, making grafting advisable:
for grafting tomatoes, use this variety: 291110 Tomato 'Landon'. As a tool, we recommend these grafting clips: 847520 Grafting clip 1.5 mm.
Elongated, sweet tomatoes with a lot of pulp. In subtropical countries, this is the variety used for processing into juices, soups, ketchup, dried tomatoes, etc. Tip: freeze Roma tomatoes with the skin on.
