Medium-sized Tomato 'Sibirsky Skorospeliy' / 'Early Siberia'

  • Product number: 293695
  • Origin: Central America
  • Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, also known as L. esculentum

This semi-tall bush tomato (60-150 cm) yields a good harvest of medium-sized fruits (60-120 g) very early. The juicy red fruits have a sweet taste with a good balance of acidity. A top performer for our climate, but also for Scandinavia.
The height of this bush tomato depends heavily on the soil type, water supply, and nutrition.

If you frequently grow tomatoes in the same spot, for example in a greenhouse, diseases can develop in the soil. Rootstocks are resistant to these, making grafting advisable:
For grafting tomatoes, use this variety: 291110 Tomato 'Landon'. As a helpful tool, we recommend these grafting clips: 847520 Grafting clip 1.5 mm.

This group of tomatoes is intermediate in size between cherry tomatoes and beefsteak tomatoes: medium-sized. Each has its own unique character. The indeterminate varieties ripen somewhat later than the determinate varieties and are therefore more successful under rain protection: a lean-to, greenhouse, or grow tunnel.

Names:
Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, or also L. esculentum
