The tomato Humboldtii is an exceptional variety named after the famous German naturalist Alexander von Humboldt. On one of his research trips, Humboldt discovered this unique tomato in Venezuela and brought it to the Botanical Garden in Berlin around 1800. This particular variety bears large cherry tomatoes , which distinguishes it from typical wild tomatoes and leads to speculation as to whether it is actually a pure wild tomato.
With its fruity , juicy and sweet taste, the Humboldtii is an ideal snack tomato that can be enjoyed straight from the bush. The fruits reach full ripeness when they show a tantalizing pink color. Although the tomatoes have little flesh , they still offer an intense flavor and an irresistible aroma that delights both children and adults.
The Humboldtii tomato plant is extremely robust and particularly well suited to outdoor cultivation. However, due to its growth habit and the numerous fruits, it should be well supported to ensure its stability. As a wild tomato, it does not need to be pruned , which makes it even easier to care for and makes it an easy-care choice for garden lovers.
With the Humboldtii tomato, you can enrich your garden with a tasty and historic variety that not only impresses with its origins, but also with its special taste. An excellent choice for anyone looking for a robust , uncomplicated and at the same time tasty tomato.
