Description
The historic pole tomato Auriga has a sweet and sour aroma and a firm skin. Its bright orange-red fruits have a fruit weight of 65 g and are ideal for salads. The plant is of medium vigor. It should be regularly thinned out and tied up. A sufficient supply of nutrients increases the yield.
