Seeds Noire Russe (Lycopersicon esculentum)

Noire Russe / 10 seeds

(Lycopersicon esculentum)

Aromatic tomato

Variety description: The strong and quite tall (150cm - 180cm) plant produces rich, dark red to chocolate brown fruits. Visually, it is an absolute highlight among tomato plants. Due to the color of its fruit, it is often called a chocolate tomato. Even the firm flesh of the 120 - 200 gram fruit is dark at the edge.

The taste is intense and can be described as palatable to spicy. The tomatoes are a poem on mozzarella slices (also visually). Making delicious sauces from them is also popular. The long harvest lasts from July to the end of October and the fruits ripen until shortly before the frost.

Cultivation: The seeds for tomatoes can be sown from the beginning of January to the end of May. At 20° - 25°C, the seeds germinate after 5 - 14 days. For faster germination, you can pre-soak the seeds overnight in a damp cloth. Always pre-grow on the windowsill or in the greenhouse until mid-March. The tomato plants can only be put outside after the frost.

Care: The cultivation temperature is 18° - 20°C and should not be below 14°C at night. Loose, humus-rich and moist soil is suitable. Good, uniform soil is sufficient. Sunny and wind-protected locations are ideal for rapid and healthy growth.
