Medium Tomato 'Black Ethiopian'

  • Product number: 293155
  • Origin: Ukraine
  • Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, or also L. esculentum

Fairly large, plum-shaped fruits in a deep black-red colour. The juicy fruits can weigh up to 250 g, with 7-12 fruits per truss. The taste is exceptionally good. A well-known twin brother is 'Black Plum'. This climbing tomato probably originates from Ukraine.
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 therefore grafting is recommended:
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 is a size between cherry tomato and beef tomato: medium size. Each has its own unique character. The climbing varieties ripen a little later than the compact varieties and are therefore more successful under rain protection: a lean-to, greenhouse or grow tunnel.

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

Do not plant outdoors before the end of May. Tomato plants use a lot of water. For this tall or (in the greenhouse) climbing type, side shoots (suckers) must be removed regularly.
