Description

Beautiful, very aromatic, sunburn and burst resistant flesh tomato. Flat-round, red with black shoulders, fruits weighing up to about 200 g. The unusual fruit color is due to the natural plant pigment anthocyanin. As with all blue tomato varieties, the flesh remains red on the inside and the purple-black color forms only on the outside. The more sunlight the fruits receive, the darker the color becomes - up to deep black. Height of growth 150-200 cm. In the greenhouse earlier planting time.

Non hybrid

Growing tips

Outdoors or in the greenhouse. Tomatoes need warm temperatures between 20-25°C for germination. After germination, place in a cooler place (max. 20°C). Sowing before March can lead to a lack of light and poorer plant growth. When pricking out, plant deeper down to the cotyledons so that the plants can develop new roots. Harden off before planting out. Fertilize regularly and water evenly. Should be thinned out. Tie or fix the main shoot in particular, as it could otherwise break off due to the heavy fruit. A location protected from rain is advantageous. Basil (against mildew and whitefly) and marigolds (against nematodes, viruses, whitefly) have proven to be good companion plants.
