Beef tomato 'Bychij Lob' / 'Bicij Lob'

  • Product number: 295267
  • Origin: Russia
  • Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, or also L. esculentum

Originally a Russian variety, its name means: ox forehead. The special thing about this medium-sized, red beef tomato is its very early yet long-lasting harvest. Even during fewer hours of sunshine, the plants continue to bear well. The good, rich taste becomes more intense as the summer progresses.

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 for which grafting is therefore 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 gets its name from 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.
