Medium Tomato (formerly) 'Vitella' F1 / 'Premio' F1

  • Product number: 293900
  • Origin: Central and South America
  • Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, also known as L. esculentum

Often, we find good potato disease-resistant varieties in our historical assortment; only occasionally do professionals succeed in breeding a good full-green hybrid. Behold the end product of serious cross-breeding: the 'Premio' has good resistance to the most serious afflictions! After 6-8 trusses of fruit, growth stops, allowing this climbing tomato to put all its energy into early fruit ripening. The flavor development is very good, but naturally partly dependent on weather and growing conditions.

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 grafting is therefore recommended:
for grafting tomatoes, use this variety: 291110 Tomato 'Landon'. As a helper, we recommend these grafting clips: 847520 Grafting clip 1.5 mm.

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