Tomato Ildi Seeds

Description

This variety of tomatoes produces small, yellow plum-shaped fruit with a beautifully sweet flavour. Ildi produces a very heavy crop of approximately 80 fruits per truss and 3-4 trusses per plant! This tomato is also ideal for containers on the patio and replaces Yellow Cocktail. The trusses keep well once picked and if hung in the shed the tomatoes will keep for a while without dropping. Ildi would look perfect sprinkled over a summer salad like jewels.
