Tomato - Tomme Toe

Solanum lycopersicum

Tomme Toe tomato seeds allow growers to raise a tomato variety known for its compact size and steady yield.

When planted, these seeds result in small, bite-sized tomatoes with a rich flavour, suitable for a range of culinary uses.

Tomme Toe tomatoes prefer sunny, warm settings but can adjust to cooler climates with the right care. They're also resilient against many standard tomato pests and diseases.

In the kitchen, Tomme Toe tomatoes are ideal for salads, snacks, or garnishes because of their size and taste. They're packed with vitamins A and C, as well as other beneficial nutrients.

For the best growth, these seeds should be planted in nutrient-filled soil and positioned in a place with 6-8 hours of sunlight each day. As the plants mature, they may benefit from some form of support. Regular watering is essential, with an aim to keep the soil consistently moist but not drenched.

Fruit grows to 3-3.5cm in diameter.
