  • Origin: Central America

This exceptional beefsteak tomato is pale green when ripe with beautiful yellow-green flesh. The fruits weigh 300-350 grams and have a particularly fine taste with a buttery texture.

Do you often grow your tomatoes in the same spot, for example in a greenhouse or mini-greenhouse? Then diseases can develop in the soil, against which rootstocks are resistant. In such cases, grafting is recommended:
for grafting tomatoes, use this variety: 291110 Tomato 'Landon'. As an aid, 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, in other words. Each has a 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.

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