Topaz Cocktail Tomato Seeds (25)

Topaz Cocktail Tomato Seeds (Solanum lycopersicum) 100 seeds

The Topaz cocktail tomato is mild and sweet. It is a mid-season tomato, producing small fruits of about 25g, yellow with green stripes before maturity.

It is delicious in salads, on skewers or as a side dish.

Sow the seeds in a mini-greenhouse (at 20°C). Transplant outside from April to the end of May (depending on the region). Frost must no longer be a risk. Sowing can continue until May depending on the region (directly in place).
There are different views on how to approach the famous pruning of tomatoes, and every gardener has arguments to support their theory. To the question "what to do?" the answer is simple: whatever you want!
Pruning tomatoes by de-suckering is not mandatory; it is intended to increase the size of the fruits, their precocity and to facilitate harvesting work.
This method, however, has two drawbacks: it requires time and discernment. Indeed, the head of the tomato plant is not always easy to distinguish from a secondary branch. Furthermore, removing suckers causes wounds for your plant. It is therefore strongly recommended to consider aiding healing with a dusting of maerl or a green clay wash.
Another option is to not prune at all and allow the plant to fully develop. It will therefore need more space in the garden, i.e. 1 m between each plant. The fruits will be smaller but more numerous.
A third solution is to train on two branches. After pinching the plant 20 cm from the ground, only the two branches that form laterally are kept. Then all the suckers are removed.
You can harvest tomatoes 4 to 5 months after sowing.
