Do you often grow your tomatoes in the same spot, for example in a greenhouse? Then diseases can develop in the soil, against 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 a cherry tomato and a beefsteak tomato: medium-sized. Each has its own unique character. The climbing varieties ripen a bit later than the compact varieties and are therefore more successful under rain protection: a lean-to, greenhouse, or grow tunnel.

Laurel wrote online: Very prolific and stunningly beautiful, Flammé is an unforgettable tomato. Intensely orange with a reddish blush on the blossom end, these flame-colored 2-ounce globes have a rich, tangy and exciting flavor that literally bursts in your mouth. Cut open to reveal a reddish interior; this fruit reminds me of a blood orange with its spectacular contrasting colors. At certain times of day when the light is just right, the fruits of Flammé glow a brilliant amber against the background of deep green foliage. On the Soup Addict website, we read: I adore this tomato. Behaving like a cherry, this plant keeps on going and going and going, producing lovely heart-shaped, bright orange fruit right through October. And the flavor is just scrumptious. Acidic like a red tomato, but slightly more fruity, providing a wonderful counterbalance in tomato salads.
