Riesentraube Tomato Seeds

Info: The Riesentraube tomato is an old variety of cocktail tomato which originates from Germany. It is one of the most high-yielding tomatoes on the market. It develops giant panicles with up to 200 - 300 blossoms, on which 20 - 40 small red cherry tomatoes grow. The fruits are round with small tips and have a tasty, mild, light sweet-sour flavour. They are suitable for direct consumption, as snacks, decoration, and for use in salads. The plants grow up to 160 cm high and must be tied up early.

Care: You can grow the Riesentraube tomatoes inside the house, in a greenhouse or outdoors. The optimal germination temperature is between 20 and 25°C, and germination occurs after 8 - 14 days. You can speed up the germination process if you leave the seeds to soak overnight in a damp cloth. You should wait until after the last frost to plant your chosen plants.

Tomatoes need fresh, well-fertilised, permeable soil which is kept moist (but not wet!). They should be planted in a sunny, protected place with at least 6 hours of sunlight - preferably more.
