Medium-sized Tomato 'Ace 55 VF'

  • Product number: 293120
  • Origin: Central America
  • Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, or also L. esculentum

ORGANICALLY GROWN SEEDS! This bush tomato ripens relatively early and is therefore less susceptible to potato blight. The fairly large fruits (350 g) taste, with careful cultivation, as a true Dutch tomato should: full, fairly sweet with little acidity. The skin is firm, so the fruit transports well. Biting into the fruit therefore first gives the familiar "snap". This also means the fruits have a long shelf life!
If you often grow your tomatoes in the same place, for example in a greenhouse (or mini-greenhouse), diseases can develop in the soil. Rootstocks are resistant to these, 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.

This group of tomatoes are sized between a cherry tomato and a beefsteak tomato: medium-sized, in other words. Each has its own unique character. The climbing varieties ripen later than the compact varieties and are therefore more successful with rain protection: a lean-to, greenhouse, or grow tunnel.

Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, or L. esculentum
