The Edelrot tomato is a traditional variety bred in the former GDR by NL Chrestensen KG Erfurt under the direction of Hans Janck. It was also known as Chrestensen's Edelrot.

This special tomato variety is characterized by its sweet , fruity , and aromatic flavor. Its firm , crisp flesh offers an outstanding texture that enhances any salad. Its low acidity makes it particularly mild and digestible.

The Edelrot tomato is not only delicious, but also extremely robust and productive. The plants can grow up to 1 meter tall and produce numerous side shoots. Thinning is not necessary for this variety, but it should be well supported to ensure plant stability.

This variety not only brings excellent yields and a unique flavor to the garden, but also preserves a piece of horticultural history. The Edelrot tomato is an excellent choice for those who value tried-and-tested, traditional tomato varieties.
