Grafted Veg Tomato 'Coeur Des Boeuf' 10cm
Coeur de Boeuf, which translates to "beef heart" in English, is a type of tomato that is native to Italy and is highly regarded for its taste and texture. The tomato has a large, ribbed, heart-shaped fruit that can weigh up to 500g. Its flesh is dense, meaty, and juicy, with a low acid content and a rich, sweet flavour that is perfect for fresh eating or cooking. Coeur de Boeuf tomatoes are best when allowed to ripen on the vine, and they can be picked when they are still slightly firm and continue to ripen off the vine. They are a popular choice for salads, sandwiches, and sauces, and they are also used in many traditional Italian dishes.
Grafted vegetable plants are a created by joining the stem of one plant, known as the rootstock, to the stem of another plant, known as the scion. This creates a new plant with the desirable characteristics of both the rootstock and the scion.
One of the main benefits of using grafted vegetable plants is their increased resistance to soil-borne diseases and pests. Another advantage is that they tend to have a stronger root system than traditional plants. This allows them to absorb more nutrients and water from the soil, which can lead to larger, healthier plants and better yields.
Grafted vegetable plants are also known for their improved tolerance to environmental stresses, such as drought, heat, and cold. This can be especially beneficial for gardeners in areas with unpredictable weather patterns or extreme conditions.
Overall, choosing grafted vegetable plants can be a smart investment for any gardener or grower looking to increase the productivity and resilience of their crops.
