Description
The wild tomato is probably the most original form of tomato we can still obtain today, and it grows excellently in our regions. The fruits of this variety are yellow and have an excellent flavour that is initially slightly tart and becomes increasingly sweeter. The yellow wild tomato is perfect for a snack garden.
The plant is very productive and overall, cultivation is similar to our cultivated tomato varieties, but much simpler. The wild tomato grows more like a shrub, does not need to be pruned, and requires very little care.
It is not susceptible to blight and therefore does not need any rain protection.
You can simply plant it and continuously enjoy the yellow fruits. From the fallen overripe fruits, the next generation usually grows the following year.

Brauchen es eeeecht warm
Wollte sie schon augeben! Hab mehrere Sorten bestellt, die hat am längsten gebraucht. Auch nachden ich sie an einen sehr warmen platz gestellt hab. Alle bis auf 1 Samen sind gekeimt und entwickeln sich bis jetzt super. Der Tipp in der mitgeschikten Anleitung (am Anfang mit Algamik düngen) war auch echt hilfreich!
