\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Lehrertomate<\/strong> (German for “Teacher’s Tomato”<\/em>) is a traditional German indeterminate heirloom<\/strong> bred for producing massive, scarlet-red beefsteaks tipping the scales between 14-25 oz (400-700 g)<\/strong>. The fruit are dense, meaty, and lightly ribbed with remarkably few seeds and a rich, old-fashioned balanced flavor. While it sets fruit reliably in cool northern summers, it is a heavy potassium feeder and requires shade cloth or adequate ventilation to prevent blossom drop during intense greenhouse heatwaves.

Lehrertomate.<\/p>\n

Indeterminate, mid-season slicer variety.<\/p>\n

Fruit are red, large to exceptionally massive beefsteaks running 14-25 oz (400-700 g), lightly ribbed at the shoulders, dense, meaty, with very few seeds. Outstanding, well-balanced classic flavor.<\/p>\n

It sets fruit readily, but my vine was planted in the greenhouse right in the full sun trap, so the top clusters fried and dropped blossoms, just like every other variety planted along that scorching south row.<\/p>\n

This variety definitely demands consistent potassium feedings to perform at its best.<\/p>\n
