Seeds Tomate REISETOMATE

Product Information

The results of the trial are presented below. Each section presents a valuable tomato plant characteristic and the varieties that were strongest for that characteristic/factor. Survey data was a large factor in winner selection, however the final “winners” were personally selected. Passed to us via Owen Bridge of Annapolis Seeds. They ripen from the orangey colour in the photos to a deeper red-pink, and make large number of fruit over a long season.

We do not claim survey results to be statistically significant due to the variation among growing conditions and the absence of control variables. With that said, we found survey responses to be generally consistent. Keep in mind that results are the opinion of those surveyed and the editors of TheDallasGarden.com, not a scientific study. (Yet.) The Results Earliness to fruit is an important tomato characteristic for North Texas gardeners. The earlier a tomato plant sets fruit, the larger the overall harvest before the heat arrives in July. Ben met Tom in Oxford in 2009 and they spent a happy couple of days discussing tomato varieties and potato breeding, so we're really pleased to offer Tom's tomato in the catalogue now. The key thing about this one is that the vines are not very tall - about 4ft - so great for the edge of the polytunnel or in a small greenhouse. And it fruits really quite early, making generously-set trusses of large round red tomatoes (tennis-ball sized). As for the taste, well, it’s distinctly on the sour side, almost lemony: it’s not your typical sugary tomato. It’s usually eaten fresh or in salads.

We really like this one, as it is one of the best flavoured of the big-fruited tomatoes - it has a particularly good balance of sweetness and acid.

About Reisetomate Heirloom Tomato The vines don't grow too tall for us (so good at the shorter edge of a greenhouse) but make a good crop of really nice rounded red tomatoes for a long season.

An ancient variety, long thought lost, this was bred by Henri Vilmorin of the famous Andrieux-Vilmorin Seedhouse in France. Henri was the author of the invaluable reference book 'The Vegetable Garden' that was published in English in 1885 - and it's been in print ever since. The goal of the Dallas Tomato Trials is to determine the best heirloom tomatoes for growing in North Texas through real-world testing. This is an INDETERMINATE variety and as such requires vines support or climbing frame. How to Grow Your Tomato Seeds

Another test: I added Cherokee Purple into the fall variety line-up. Cherokee Chocolate (a winner) is a mutation of Cherokee Purple, and I want to compare them side by side for performance and flavor. Fall Tomato Variety Selections And like other heritage tomatoes, ‘Reisetomate’ is self-pollinating and generally comes true to type, so just harvest seeds from this year’s crop to start next year’s one. As coordinator of the trial, I maintained highly controlled growing conditions: 8-12 hours of direct sun, consistent fertilization, amended soil, and commercial-style support systems. Additionally, I took notes and made observations on a weekly basis (much like I did when I was an intern for the Plant Trials program at the Dallas Arboretum). Earliest to set fruit Growing heirloom tomatoes is a delightful way to preserve our heritage, discover other countries and civilizations and simply try something new. Every nationality has its favorite food crops and varieties of universal fruits and vegetables. The reisetomate tomato history is a perfect one to illustrate the convoluted and controversial history of one single fruit type. As you are growing these stunning little tomatoes, consider where they may have come from and for what purpose they might have been developed. All the fruitlets on one fruit don’t necessarily ripen at quite the same time, so you may have both green and red ones in the same cluster, even green, red and overly ripe ones.
