The Rote Ribisel wild tomato is a very special, vigorous variety from ReinSaat's variety conservation breeding program. Without staking or pruning, it produces a lush, almost wild growth covered in countless bright red mini tomatoes in summer. This quickly creates a small tomato forest that not only looks beautiful but also provides a continuous supply of sweet, aromatic fruit to snack on.
The approximately 1.5 cm tomatoes are exceptionally flavorful and ideal for eating straight from the vine. Anyone who loves uncomplicated, robust tomatoes will enjoy this variety: it requires relatively little water and fertilizer and is also tolerant of blight and blossom end rot. This makes it a great choice for natural gardens and anyone who prefers a more relaxed approach to growing tomatoes.
Seedlings are started in March and April, and planted outdoors from May. Harvest takes place from July to September.
