Description
Stuffing tomato
The beautiful, blocky fruits of the Striped Cavern have a bright red colour with yellow flaming and are almost hollow inside. The outer flesh and skin are firm. With a fruit weight of 115 g, they are ideal for filling with treats after the loose seeds have been removed. The vigorous, healthy plant is very productive. Thanks to its good yield, Striped Cavern is also suitable for commercial nurseries. Cultivation is recommended under a sheltered roof or in a greenhouse. The plant should be regularly pinched out and tied up. A sufficient supply of nutrients increases the yield.
