Medium Tomato 'Rugby' F1

  • Product number: 293670
  • Origin: South America
  • Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, also known as L. esculentum

This Bulgarian variety (from Geosem Select), resistant to many diseases, produces beautiful, pinkish-red fruits (180-220 g) in a slightly elongated heart shape. The climbing plants yield a large production of firm, very tasty (not so large) tomatoes. The harvest is quite early and a great asset for both hobbyists and professionals!

This group of tomatoes are sized between cherry tomato and beefsteak tomato: medium-sized, in other words. 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.

Denominations:
Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, or also L. esculentum
Dutch: Medium-sized Tomato
Also known as: Tomato
English: Tomato, medium size
