Medium-sized Tomato 'Bosque Bleu'

  • Product number: 293185
  • Origin: Central and South America
  • Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, or also L. esculentum

The sun causes anthocyanin to build up, turning the fruits blue. The taste is remarkably good, fresh and sweet like vanilla. Besides blue, chestnut brown to deep red hues appear. The fruits weigh approximately 50-90 g. A selection from J&L Gardens.
Do you often grow your tomatoes in the same spot, for example in a greenhouse or cold frame? Then diseases can develop in the soil, which rootstocks are resistant to, 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 are sized between cherry tomato and beefsteak tomato: medium-sized, in other words. Each has its own unique character. The climbing varieties ripen somewhat 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
