Medium-sized Tomato 'Gold Dust'

Medium-sized Tomato 'Gold Dust'

Product number: 293234
Origin: South America
Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, or also L. esculentum

This compact-growing tomato (50-70 cm high) thrives excellently in a large pot, but naturally also in open ground. The orange-yellow fruits weigh 90-180 g and are deliciously sweet and juicy. Due to their slightly thicker skin, they are well resistant to cracking and transport. An ideal variety for Northern Europe, developed at the University of New Hampshire.

This group of tomatoes is a size between a cherry tomato and a beefsteak tomato: a medium size. 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 growing tunnel.

Names:
Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, or also L. esculentum
Dutch: Middenmaat Tomaat
Also: Tomaat
English: Tomato, medium size

Sowing method: Sow indoors from March to May. Transplant into pots when seedlings are 5 cm tall. Provide plenty of light and, from April onwards, harden off outdoors on fine days (bring indoors if frost is expected). Plant outdoors from mid-May, or in a greenhouse from mid-April. This so-called bush type (determinate) does not require pinching out. Planting distance 60-80 cm.
