Medium-sized Tomato 'Giraffe'
- Product number: 293231
- Origin: South America
- Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, also known as L. esculentum
This medium-tall Russian variety is intriguing due to its extremely long storage time of up to 5 months! The fruits are small to medium-sized and ripen from green to yellow, sometimes turning orange on the plant. Each fruit weighs approximately 50-100 grams and has a lot of flesh. The slightly thicker skin helps with its long shelf life, so enjoy your summer harvest all winter long!
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 thus 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 a cherry tomato and a beefsteak tomato: a medium size. Each one has a 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 growing tunnel.
