Refreshing, yellow cocktail tomatoes

Like all yellow tomato varieties, the taste is reminiscent of lemons. This is what makes yellow cocktail tomatoes so refreshing.

  • Cuban Yellow Grape: variety that does not grow seeds, with a height of up to 250 cm, ideal for tubs, 10-20 grams, very productive
  • Yellow pear: firm to seeds, low in acid, very decorative thanks to the pear shape, 10-20 grams, limited height of up to 250 cm

  • Golden Pearl F1: Hybrid with a pleasantly soft skin, yet firm fruits, 15-20 grams

If you want to propagate your cocktail tomatoes yourself, all varieties with the note 'seed-proof' are suitable. Unlike F1 hybrids, the seeds can be harvested and used for sowing next season.

tips and tricks

Among other things, cocktail tomatoes score with a thin, delicate skin. Therefore, pay close attention to reliable rain protection and even watering so that the small fruits do not burst open.
