Variety description

The outdoor tomato OpenSky® 'Climbing Tom®' is an extremely impressive outdoor tomato. OpenSky® 'Climbing Tom®' impresses with its extraordinary field resistance to Phytophthora and Alternaria, the two main causes of late blight and brown rot in tomatoes, as well as with its very high vitality and vigorous growth. The growth behavior is particularly striking, as OpenSky® 'Climbing Tom®' practically stretches towards the sky. If OpenSky® 'Climbing Tom®' is planted on a net or wire frame, for example, it requires almost no tying or thinning, OpenSky® 'Climbing Tom®' practically "climbs" up it.

In terms of ripening time, OpenSky® 'Climbing Tom®' is comparatively late, so the harvest only begins in the second half of July. The first energy goes into vegetative growth and only then into generative growth. As soon as the first flowers and fruits have formed, things happen very quickly. In terms of fruit type, OpenSky® 'Climbing Tom®' is a classic vine or salad tomato. The medium-sized and round tomatoes with their striking dark red color ripen on short and sturdy vines and shine when fully ripe.

The fruits of OpenSky® 'Climbing Tom®' are not only a feast for the eyes but also a delight for the palate. The tomatoes are pleasantly firm in texture, have a good tomato aroma with a slight spiciness and a fine acidity, but are not too sweet. In short: OpenSky® 'Climbing Tom®' is an ideal salad tomato.
