The Riesentraube Tomato is a strong German heirloom. It's name means 'giant bunch of grapes".
Productive is an understatement, with up to 350 flowers per cluster, there are loads of grape like clusters, 20-40 fruits per stem, of red cherry tomatoes with a distinctive "tail" at the blossom end.
Full-bodied beefsteak type flavor, long season, good keeper, high yields. Grown by Pennsylvania Dutch since around 1855.
Indeterminate.
76-85 Days.
Approx 45 seeds per pack
Planting Instructions
Indoors: 5 - 7 weeks before last frost sow 1/4" deep and keep soil evenly moist at 60- 70 degrees F. When the second set of leaves appears, transplant seedlings to individual pots.
Harden off 2 weeks before setting out, when weather is fully warm, in a spot with at least 8 hours of sun daily. Plant seedlings up to 2" under the first leaves, at least 3' apart. Water deeply and well in dry weather.
Outdoors: Sow as above, directly in site when weather is warm.
