Persimmon is an old Russian tomato that came to Europe in a roundabout way as an American heirloom tomato variety that has been cultivated since the 1850s. It produces huge, orange-golden fruits that can weigh up to 1 kg and have very firm flesh with few seeds. The plant is rather small with few fruits, but the taste is huge. Especially appreciated by connoisseurs of old tomato varieties. (From MagicGardenSeeds).
F1 Hybrid
Not frost resistant
Tomatoes need warm temperatures between 20-25°C to germinate. After germination, keep in a cooler place (max. 20°C). Sowing before March can lead to a lack of light and poorer plant growth. When pricking out, plant deeper down to the cotyledons so that the plants can develop new roots. Harden off before planting out. Fertilize regularly and water evenly. Should be thinned out. Tie or fix the main shoot in particular, as it could otherwise break off due to the heavy fruit. A location protected from rain is advantageous. Basil (against mildew and whitefly) and marigolds (against nematodes, viruses, whitefly) have proven to be good companion plants. (From Biogartenbedarf).
