Tomatoes are really good for you with
numerous health benefits. They should be consumed regularly, primarily
for the cancer-preventing benefits of lycopene. Once called the wolf
peach and considered a dangerous food, this round red fruit is now
renowned as one of the most potent cancer-fighting foods. The French
even believed tomatoes to be an aphrodisiac, thus another common name
"love apple". Tomato 'Apero' coming soon

Tomato Koralik
As Seen on Gardeners World! |

As seen on Gardeners World TV, this is a Russian bred blight resistant, determinate variety with very high yields of small 1" sweet fruit of outstanding flavour. Early maturing with exceptionally high tolerance to blight. (Probably not totally immune as stated by Toby Buckland but nevertheless an excellent choice) Will thrive outside in wet seasons where other varieties fail. Grow in container on patio or in open beds. One other unique point is that tomatoes on each truss tend to ripen all at once. |
