Black Plum / 10 seeds

(Lycopersicon esculentum)

Austrian salad tomato

Variety description: The Black Plum produces smaller fruits in a dark color. It got its name from its shape and color.

The fruits are rather small, contain a lot of pulp and are ideal for salads. When fully ripe, they can also be used for sauces or soups. This organic/ecological variety comes from the Austrian archive of the ‘Noah’s Ark’.

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 let the seeds soak overnight in a damp cloth. Always 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.
