Description

Moneymaker is a high-yielding, robust, cold-tolerant and vigorous lettuce tomato. It is tolerant to many diseases, such as late blight. It produces red, medium sized, thick-skinned fruits without green collar, weighing between 50-120 g. The fruits taste typically aromatic of tomato, but not particularly intense, sweetish and sour. The plants can grow up to 3 m high. The harvest period lasts until the first frost. Rather for fresh consumption than for canning. Suitable for outdoor and protected cultivation.

Not frost resistant

Growing tips

Sowing depth: 0.2 cm. Germination after 8-10 days from 15°C, optimal at 20-22°C. Harden off before planting. A sunshade on hot days can protect tomatoes from sunburn. Do not water from above. A rain shelter can prevent blight. Water and fertilize regularly. Fertilize with organic fertilizer (compost, manure, plant dips). Fruit-bearing shoots, should be supported or otherwise assisted so that they do not break off. The fruits will ripen later.
