Description

Oaxacan Jewel is the earliest of our large-fruited beef tomatoes (weight from 250 g) and thus very early for a beef tomato! Similar to the variety Pineapple. The variety is low-growing but high-yielding, with a good, pleasant mild taste. The variety is potato-leaved, the fruits ripen from yellow to orange to red. Robust in the open field, but also suitable for the greenhouse. (From Culinaris).

Non hybrid

Not frost resistant

Growing tips

Moderate requirements for fertilization and watering, sunny and airy and protected from direct rain. 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. Should be thinned out. Above all, tie or fix the main shoot, otherwise it could break off due to the heavy fruits. Basil (against mildew and whitefly) and Tagetes (against nematodes, viruses, whitefly) have proven to be good companion plantings. (From Biogartenbedarf).
