Notes
'Riesentraube Tomato' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Riesentraube Tomato') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and borders. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It sits low on the menu for rabbits. Bees and butterflies visit the plant, and it can reach 72 inches tall, so give it a sturdy stake.
Pairs well with Basil, Borage, Calendula, and Nasturtium.
