Description

Old Yellow Candystripe is the smallest (about 80 g) but highest yielding of our new beef tomatoes. The variety is medium early, has medium vigor and bright yellow, flat-round, slightly ribbed, burst-resistant fruits. The flavor is pleasantly spicy-mild. Can grow up to 2.50 m tall. (From Culinaris).

Non hybrid

Not frost resistant

Growing tips

Tomatoes need warm temperatures for germination between 20-25 ° C. Cover only lightly with soil. 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.
