This open-pollinated amateur variety impresses with its uniformly round, smooth-skinned, and bright red fruits with dense, juicy flesh. It is known for its reliability, vigorous growth, and a genuine, intensely spicy tomato aroma that strikes the perfect balance between delicate sweetness and refreshing acidity.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScope of delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 seeds each\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSowing at a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003ePre-cultivation (indoors)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMid-February to the end of March\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlanting out (outdoors)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom mid-May (after the Ice Saints)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eSowing depth\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e0.5 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eGermination temperature\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e20 to 25 degrees Celsius\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eGermination time\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e4 to 10 days\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrowth habit, location, and care:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e'Saint Pierre' grows as a vigorous, indeterminate cordon tomato and reaches heights of 1.50 to over 2.00 meters. It produces heavy clusters of fruit and therefore requires a stable support (robust stakes, spirals, or strings) from the start. The variety prefers a fully sunny, warm location. It is considered relatively robust and is suitable for both sheltered outdoor areas and excellent for greenhouses. Consistent pruning (pinching out) of side shoots to one or a maximum of two main stems is recommended to promote large, well-shaped individual fruits. As a heavy feeder, it requires deep, nutrient-rich, and humus-bearing soil; incorporating mature compost and regular applications of potassium-rich fertilizer during the fruiting phase support long-lasting yields well into the autumn.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003eHarvest and use:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe fruits weigh on average between 120 and 200 grams, but can reach more with good nutrient supply. They ripen evenly from mid-early to late and are surprisingly crack-resistant. In the kitchen, the 'Saint Pierre' proves to be a real all-rounder: thanks to its firm, juicy flesh, it is ideal for slicing for fresh salads and cold platters, but also retains its shape and structure when cooked. It is therefore traditionally the first choice in French cuisine for stuffing, baking, and for aromatic ratatouille and preserved sauces.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe variety originally comes from France and looks back on a long tradition, having been prized in both cottage gardens and traditional weekly markets since the early 20th century.
