Beefsteak tomato 'Fantome Du Laos' / 'Phantom of Laos'

  • Product number: 295398
  • Origin: South America
  • Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, also known as L. esculentum

The exuberant growth (preferably in a greenhouse or under a lean-to) is rewarded with a large harvest of medium-sized 150-250 g fruits in a bright (almost) white to very light yellow color. The fruits remain immaculate, do not crack or blemish easily and taste fresh with a good acid balance. The plants are reasonably Phytophthora resistant. Make a surprising yellow tomato soup!
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 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 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.
