Medium-sized Tomato 'Lady Fingers'

  • Product number: 293497
  • Origin: South America
  • Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, or also L. esculentum

This mid-early tomato is slightly elongated, contains a lot of juice and flesh, and is somewhere between a truss tomato and a plum tomato. Very versatile and recommended for cultivation in a greenhouse and (with a reasonably dry summer) also outdoors.

This group of tomatoes is a size between a cherry tomato and a beefsteak tomato: medium-sized, in other words. Each of them has a unique character. The climbing varieties ripen 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 (Medium-sized Tomato)
Also known as: Tomaat 'Lady Fingers' (Tomato 'Lady Fingers')
English: Tomato, medium size
