The Grit tomato is a traditional variety from the former GDR that was bred by Friedrich Fabig at the IfZ Quedlinburg. This beautiful deep red tomato is characterized by its high yield and robustness , making it an excellent choice for any garden.

The Grit tomato forms beautiful clusters on which the fruits ripen from top to bottom. The fruity and mild taste, combined with almost no acidity , makes this tomato particularly pleasant and digestible. The soft flesh contributes to the juicy consistency of the fruit.

Both the plants and their panicles should be well supported , as the heavy fruits could otherwise overload the plant. It is also important to regularly thin out the plants to ensure optimal fruit development and plant health. This variety can also be grown with two shoots , which increases the yield even further.

The Grit tomato not only brings variety in taste and juicy fruit to the garden, but also represents a piece of gardening history from the GDR. This variety is ideal for anyone looking for robust and productive tomato plants. With its historical significance and unique taste, the Grit tomato is an excellent choice for every garden lover.
