  • Origin: Central and South America
  • Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, or also L. esculentum

Beautifully striped, elongated tomatoes with little juice and lots of flesh. Delicious in salads, but of course developed to make a delectable sauce. The eye wants something too, which is why we were drawn to its red-orange-striped skin…
Do you often grow your tomatoes in the same spot, for example in a greenhouse? Then diseases can develop in the soil, to which rootstocks are resistant and where grafting is therefore recommended:
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 lots of pulp. In subtropical countries, this type is used for processing into juices, soups, ketchup, dried tomatoes, etc. Tip: freeze Roma tomatoes whole, with the skin on.
