Description
Sweet, cherry-sized fruit are a joy for big and small!
Very compact, vigorous seedlings.
Wild tomatoes need plenty of space to spread. They are at their best beside a fence, wall, or along a path. Arrange bamboo stakes as supports in the home garden, or use the “Göttingen System” (see picture) for the market garden.
These are pretty close to the original tomato! Dainty, with boundless energy to grow, the best of their kind also boast the following qualities:
• Robustness (as long as there is plenty of airflow and sun)
• Low fertilizer and water needs
• Generous amounts of fruit
• Great for children
• Can be grown creatively as an ornamental feature, for e.g. in buckets on the balcony.
Not suitable for training as cordons!
