Reisetomate Tomato

Reisetomate Tomato

Description
The most novel tomato we have seen, this tomato is like a big bunch of cherry tomatoes all fused together: an amazing trait that had everyone here asking questions about the alien-looking, bumpy tomatoes. Also called “Traveler tomato” (“reise” is German for “travel” or “journey”) for the ability to tear it apart a piece at a time, with no need for a knife. This type of tomato traces its roots to Central America where the native people would carry traveler tomatoes on trips, to eat as they walked. Bright red tomatoes taste--well, rather sour, strong and acid. The perfect tomato for those who love raw lemons, but who cares? They are still far-out and groovy.

Pros:
Cons:

This oddly shaped tomato has been surprisingly productive here in Oklahoma this year. It set a lot of fruit even with our early flooding and awful heat waves. It's not the best tasting, but it's not bad and it is an interesting shape and keeps pretty well.

Weird alien tomato! 11/07/2010 21:31:37
By - from Phoenix, AZ
Pros:
Cons:

I may not know what I am writing about, but you should be careful when growing these. I think some of my other varities were polinated by these and ended up in very unusual shapes. Can that happen? It sure seems like it. Next year I wont grow so many unusual shapes.
