Description
The Black Cherry cocktail tomato has an exceptionally good, intense aroma. It is pleasantly soft and has a fruit weight of 23 g. It is used for eating straight from the vine, in salads or as a taste sensation in vegetable dishes. The purple-red flesh of the black cherry shimmers through the transparent skin and gives the tomato a special appearance. The plant is vigorous and a proven variety in nurseries with a rarity assortment. It should be regularly thinned out and tied up. A sufficient supply of nutrients increases the yield. Our historical varieties were selected for performance, health and taste in “covered field cultivation” with a low level of fertilization and without additional irrigation.
