About this variety
A gorgeous big and somewhat ribbed tomato, this german heirloom was an instant favourite. The fruits are yellow with red mottling on the skin and in the flesh too. Few and small seed cavities, yet super juicy with a flesh texture and taste reminiscent of a ripe plum.

Growing notes
Seed tomatoes ¼” deep 4-8 weeks before last frost. Seed densely and transplant to cells or pots after seedlings develop true leaves. Transplant 18”-24” apart when days are warm and there is no longer any risk of frost (ideally avoiding night temperatures below 7 degrees Celsius). Tomatoes like a rich soil, amend with compost or manure as needed. When transplanting, be sure to cover the root ball and submerge the stalk all the way to the cotyledons – the submerged stalk will form adventitious roots. Water thoroughly when transplanting. Stake or trellis tomatoes, unless they are dwarf varieties.
The German Striped tomato was absolutely beautiful! Its gorgeous stripes made it a standout, but the real star was its wonderfully creamy texture. This tomato was so large that one slice covered an entire slice of sourdough bread! It was delicious, substantial, and absolutely perfect for a classic tomato sandwich. A new definite favourite in my garden and one I’ll be growing again!
Wonderful tomatoes!
Shipping was quick! Im excited for the growing season!

We're trialing and breeding new varieties!
This is the most challenging and thrilling part of our work.
The trialing allows us to test varieties of a same species side by side and determine which one(s) taste and perform the best.
Breeding and variety maintenance means selecting for traits that are desirable such as flavor, texture, disease resitance, earliness and hardiness, just to mention a few.
