Description

Beautiful, very aromatic, sunburn and burst resistant flesh tomato. Flat-round, red with black shoulders, fruits weighing up to about 200 g. The unusual fruit color is due to the natural plant pigment anthocyanin. As with all blue tomato varieties, the flesh remains red on the inside and the purple-black color forms only on the outside. The more sunlight the fruits receive, the darker the color becomes - up to deep black. Height of growth 150-200 cm. In the greenhouse earlier planting time.

Non hybrid

Not frost resistant

Growing tips

Open ground or greenhouse. Tomatoes need warm temperatures for germination between 20-25°C. After germination, place in a cooler place (max. 20°C). Sowing before March may result in lack of light and poorer plant growth. When pricking out, set deeper to the cotyledons so that the plants can form new roots. Harden off before planting out. Fertilize regularly and water evenly. Should be thinned out. Especially tie or fix the main shoot, otherwise it could break off due to the heavy fruits. A location protected from rain is advantageous. Basil (against mildew and whitefly) and Tagetes (against nematodes, viruses, whitefly) have proven to be good companion plantings.
