Beefsteak Tomato 'Alesha Popovich' / 'Aleysha Popovich'

  • Product number: 294955
  • Origin: South America
  • Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, also known as L. esculentum

Very tasty tomatoes come from Russia, this is one of them! Named after a famous Russian folk hero with his many qualities, this tomato is also versatile in taste: beautiful aromas, fine texture, and a good yield.
Do you often grow your tomatoes in the same place, for example in a greenhouse? Then diseases can develop in the soil, which rootstocks are resistant to, and therefore 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 a size between cherry tomato and beefsteak tomato: 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.

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