USDA Certified Organic. 70 days. (Indeterminate) [German heirloom introduced 1993 by SESE. from seed sent to us by Dr. Carolyn Male. Originally from East Germany, it also may have been grown by the Pennsylvania Dutch as early as 1855.] Riesentraube translates as "giant bunch of grapes". One of its outstanding features is the large number of flowers produced per cluster--up to 350 flowers! Flower clusters appear as compact floral sprays giving rise to large bunches of 20-40 red fruits. The most unusual tomato we've grown. Cherry-sized fruits weigh 3/4 oz and measure 1-1/2" x 1-1/4" with exceptionally pointed blossom end. Vine growth compact. Excellent full flavor similar to that found in flavorful beefsteak tomatoes. A great salad tomato.
