Riesentraube Tomato Seeds

The Riesentraube Tomato is a very sweet and high producing Heirloom Tomato.

The Riesentraube Tomato, whose name means "Giant Bunch of Grapes" in German, is a classic Heirloom Tomato variety. These Tomatoes made their way to Philadelphia in the mid 1800-s from Germany. They were, and continue to be, very popular among the Pennsylvania Dutch.

Riesentraube is known to produce very large yields of 1" tomatoes that grow in clusters of 20-40. One of this Tomatoes most outstanding and well known features is the large number of tiny flowers it produces prior to the tomato fruit: up to 350 flowers per cluster!

The small tomatoes have an excellent and full flavor that is frequently compared to that of a beefsteak tomato.

Riesentraube Tomatoes are great for snacks, dried and on salads.For something new, try making some delicious Tomato Wine!
