Description
Through rose-colored glasses…
The pink-red Capseya (pepper-shaped) entices with heavy, ribbed fruits of aromatic mildness. With a fruit weight of 200 g and an abundance of fruits, this beef tomato is particularly suitable for cooking sauces and soups, but also for eating fresh with mozzarella and basil. The small-growing plant produces rich yields early in the year. The rest of the harvest is highly dependent on the weather. Due to its yield in protected cultivation, the pepper-shaped plant is popular in nurseries with a rare assortment. Outdoor tomatoes can be grown unprotected outdoors. They should be regularly thinned out and tied up. A sufficient supply of nutrients increases the yield.
