Beefsteak tomato 'Myrto' F1 / 'Pyros' F1

  • Product number: 295395
  • Origin: South America
  • Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, or also L. esculentum

One of the best blight-resistant beefsteak tomatoes, also resistant to fusarium and verticillium. A modern top variety! Fairly large tomato (180-200g). Very suitable for open ground, height 120-150 cm. The taste is very good, quite sweet.

If you often grow your tomatoes in the same place, for example in a greenhouse, diseases can develop in the soil. Rootstocks are resistant to these diseases, and grafting is therefore recommended:
for grafting tomatoes, use this variety: 291110 Tomato 'Landon'. We recommend these grafting clips as an aid: 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 flesh (instead of juice). This applies to most varieties in this group, with a few exceptions such as the so-called stuffing tomatoes.

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