'With their weight of up to 1 kg, the flesh tomatoes of the variety 'Gigantomo' are true giants among tomatoes. They are considered the largest and heaviest tomatoes in the world, making them a real eye-catcher in the garden. The fruits are red, flat-round and ribbed. Their flesh has an aromatic, strong flavor. Pre-cultivate this variety between February and April, before transplanting it into protected open ground from mid-May. Make sure that there should be no more frost then. Alternatively, 'Gigantomo' can also be grown in a greenhouse. The flesh tomatoes prefer nutrient-rich soil and an even amount of water as well as fertilizer. Due to the size of the tomatoes, the plants need a support. The 'Gigantomo' is harvested between July and October. Another advantage of this F1 hybrid is its resistance to Verticillium wilt and Fusarium wilt. (From Seed Knapweed).
F1 Hybrid
Not frost resistant
Tomatoes need warm temperatures for germination between 20-25°C. After germination, place in a cooler place (max. 20°C). If sown before March, there may be a lack of light and poorer growth of the plants. 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.
