Finally, there is recognition for this beautifully shaped tomato, which is expressed in this professional improvement of the original variety: a larger yield and more uniformity in fruit shape than the original old variety, which we describe as follows in number 295440: This old variety comes from Italy, produces large, heart-shaped tomatoes, with low acidity and a pleasant aroma. The color is red with a green collar. The ripening is from the inside out, so a lighter fruit (orange or greenish) already has a good taste, although a red, ripe fruit is, of course, the most delicious! Usually, the fruit is strongly ribbed; smooth fruits also occur. The shape can also vary: flatter irregular shapes occur, depending on the year and location. An original harvest gift for your beloved…

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.

The largest tomatoes in our assortment are called beefsteak tomatoes. This tomato owes its name to the larger amount of pulp (instead of juice). This applies to most varieties in this group, with a few exceptions such as the so-called stuffing tomatoes.
