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 between 20-25°C for germination. Keep cooler after germination (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. Should be thinned out. Tie or fix the main shoot in particular, as it could otherwise break off due to the heavy fruit. Basil (against mildew and whitefly) and marigolds (against nematodes, viruses, whitefly) have proven to be good companion plants. (From Biogartenbedarf).
