Tomato 'Desperado'

PACKAGING: Sachet Zip lock 12 - 15 SEEDS

1. Original Name: Desperado.

2. History: Bred by Blane Horton (USA). This variety is also known as Dwarf Desperado though it is not related to the Dwarf Tomato Project and the word 'dwarf' just means that it is a dwarf plant. But the foliage is also different as it is not as rugose as that of most dwarf plants.

3. Plant Specifications: Mid-season. A good choice for growing outdoors and in a greenhouse. Dwarf bush, determinate and compact, growing up to 2.1-2.5 feet (60-70 cm) tall. Regular leaf. Regular truss, 4-5 fruits per truss.

4. Training Instructions: No pruning is required. It is recommended just to tie the longest stems and to remove the bottom leaves as they grow so that the bush could get a good airflow and could not become too branchy.

5. Shape and Weight: Elongated and heart-shaped fruits with small shallow ribs being a real wonder! Weight: 3.5 oz. (100 g).

6. Color: Crimson and pink.

7. Flavor Profile: Very tasty, sweet and slightly tart, with a pure flavor typical of pink tomatoes. Meaty with thick walls.

8. Culinary Use: A good choice for fresh salads, sandwich slices and pizza, or for thick ketchup and other sauces. Transports well and can keep well for some time after harvesting.
