  70 days. (Indeterminate) [German heirloom introduced 1993 by SESE. from seed sent to us by tomato collector Dr. Carolyn Male. Originally from East Germany, it also may have been grown by the Pennsylvania Dutch as early as 1855.] 'Riesentraube' translates from the German as "giant bunch of grapes". One of Riesentraube's outstanding features is the large number of flowers produced per cluster: up to 350 flowers! Flower clusters appear as compact floral sprays giving rise to large tomato we have grown. The cherry-sized tomatoes eigh approximately 3/4 oz. And measure 1-1/2 x 1-1/4". Distinctive red fruits have a rounded pear shape with sharp pointed end. Vine growth is compact, highly branched, with good foliage cover for developing fruits. The red fruits have excellent full-flavor similar to that found in flavorful beefsteak tomatoes. An excellent salad tomato, great for snacks. Pkt. |
