Unit price perSolanum lycopersicum
Deutscher Fleiss is an old German potato-leaf tomato producing excellent small red fruits approximately 3–4 cm across. The tomatoes form attractive trusses of around six fruits, with a good traditional flavour and a useful size for salads, snacking and fresh eating.
Its distinctive potato-leaf foliage has broader, smoother-edged leaves than most tomatoes. A particularly good performer in cooler climates, Deutscher Fleiss is well suited to gardeners who find some warm-climate tomato varieties reluctant to thrive or set fruit in milder conditions.
The vigorous indeterminate vines continue flowering and setting trusses throughout the season and benefit from sturdy staking or trellising.
Seed count: approximately 250–400 seeds per gram. Approximately 25 seeds per packet.

Space plants approximately 40–60 cm apart with 60–150 cm between rows. Grow in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil and provide sturdy staking or trellising for the climbing vines. Water at soil level where possible and avoid waterlogged conditions.
Maturity: approximately 105 days.
