About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

You’ll grow ‚Berner Rose’, one of the most popular meat tomatoes for the home garden. It has pink‑red, soft‑skinned fruits with few seeds and a full, sweet‑spicy aroma. It grows robustly as a determinate tomato and needs a roof or a sheltered spot, because its thin skin cracks easily in rain and it is susceptible to brown rot. You harvest from mid‑summer for many weeks, best when fully ripe straight from the plant. It is a self‑seeding variety, so you can take seed for next year.

You’ll find it mild and juicy, almost no acidity, a classic loaf tomato that on its own with a pinch of salt is already a small meal.
