Cocktail tomato / Black Cherry / 15 seeds
(Lycopersicon esculentum)
Purple-black small tomatoes - super juicy and an eye-catcher!
Variety description: This rarity grows to around 1.50-2 m high and produces a particularly large number of small, round tomatoes. They weigh around 20 g and have a diameter of 2.5 cm. Harvesting can begin after 150 days and the very juicy fruits are suitable for direct consumption or are a real eye-catcher in salads. The "Black Cherry" variety is disease-resistant and robust. The germination period is around 14 days.
Cultivation and care: 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.
