The "Gartenperle" tomato is a traditional variety bred in the GDR by Elfriede Illner and Hartmut Arndt at VEG Saatzucht Aschersleben. Listed on the Red List of Threatened Crop Varieties, this variety preserves a valuable piece of horticultural history. Further information on the Red List can be foundhere .

The Gartenperle is a robust , red, and round cherry tomato that's ideal for growing in pots or raised beds . Thanks to its growth habit, it's also perfect for growing as a hanging tomato in a basket or over a raised bed , making it particularly versatile.

With its fresh , sweet taste and crisp, juicy flesh, the Gartenperle is the ideal snack tomato – perfect for enjoying straight from the bush.

If the Gartenperle is grown upright , it is recommended to provide the plant with good support , as the many small cherry tomatoes can be quite heavy. However, thinning is not necessary for this easy-care variety.

The Gartenperle tomato combines high-quality flavor with practical growing options, preserving a valuable heritage of heirloom tomato varieties. It's the perfect choice for anyone seeking a high-yielding, versatile cherry tomato that thrives even in small spaces.
