- Product number: 295302
- Origin: Mediterranean region
- Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, also known as L. esculentum
This old Italian variety has an exaggerated (and therefore so elegant!) ribbed shape. Just like a miniature pumpkin... The fruits are medium-heavy (150g), fairly juicy and firm with a flavour that still makes Italians lyrical! Grow these beauties and enjoy them! This tomato is also known as "Casalino tomato" and is very popular in Italian dishes!
This Costoluta comes from the Genoa area.
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 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 flesh (instead of juice). This applies to most varieties in this group, with a few exceptions such as the so-called stuffing tomatoes.
