Medium-sized Tomato 'Lida Ukrainian'
- Product number: 293510
- Origin: Ukraine, Eastern Europe
- Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, or also L. esculentum
Only recently discovered, but probably cultivated for over 100 years in Ukraine. The size of the firm, long-lasting, red fruits varies (80-250g), with significant outliers occurring. The taste brings us back to old times when there were still plenty of non-sweet varieties: a distinct and robust, original aroma.
Do you often grow your tomatoes in the same spot, for example in a greenhouse? 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 a tool, 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: medium-sized, in other words. Each has its own unique character. Climbing varieties ripen later than compact varieties and are therefore more successful under rain protection: a lean-to, greenhouse, or growing tunnel.
