Medium-sized Tomato 'Lotus'

  • Product number: 293530
  • Origin: South America
  • Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, or also L. esculentum

Beautiful, (almost) white tomatoes from an old Russian tradition. Their size varies between 120-180 g and, partly due to their multi-chambered nature, they are actually considered small beefsteak tomatoes. The light green fruits ripen to a creamy white. The taste is amazing: fruity and sweet with a strong aroma, so characteristic of historical tomatoes!

This group of tomatoes is a size between cherry tomato and beefsteak tomato: medium-sized, in other words. Each has its own 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.

Names:
Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, or also L. esculentum
Dutch: Middenmaat Tomaat (Medium-sized Tomato)
English: Tomato, medium size
