Description

Very long Lamuyo type (25-30 cm long) with medium-thick flesh and pronounced good taste. The fruits (weighing about 110-200 g) ripen from green to red and develop sweetness already in the green state. Suitable for stringing (2-3 shoots). Very vigorous, especially under glass. Resistant to tobacco mosaic virus (tobamovirus P0, P1-2). In greenhouse planting possible already from April, then needs a little more space. (From ReinSaat).

Non hybrid

Not frost resistant

Growing tips

Cover the seeds only lightly with soil for germination, keep them evenly moist but not wet and warm (min. 20°C, preferably 25°C). A bright location is also important. Keep slightly cooler after germination. Prick out as soon as 2-4 true leaves are present. Harden off before planting out. When the first fruits begin to form, fertilize about once a week. An even supply of water is also important. The first flower can be broken off to encourage the formation of further fruit. Locations sheltered from the wind are advantageous. Support shoots if necessary.
