Variety video available: noThe Caro Red tomato is a traditional variety that was introduced in 1958 by Purdue University in Lafayette, Indiana. This tomato is characterized by its bright orange skin and its high carotene content, which makes it particularly valuable not only visually but also nutritionally.
The Caro Red impresses with its sweet taste, which is pleasantly rounded off by a slight acidity. The soft flesh is juicy and fresh , which makes this variety ideal for fresh consumption. It develops its full flavor especially in salads.
This easy-care tomato is a high-yielder , but due to the size and weight of the fruit, the plant should be well supported . Regular thinning is also advisable to encourage growth and ensure a bountiful harvest.
With the Caro Red tomato, you bring a variety into your garden that not only impresses with its easy-care properties and its good, juicy taste, but also represents a piece of American breeding history.
