Exotic varieties of tomatoes that you can grow on your own plot

Despite all the respect gardeners have for tomatoes, this crop is often grown solely for its benefit, sometimes without noticing its natural beauty and charm. Many people think that tomatoes cannot serve as a source of inspiration. And in vain.

However, if we recall the history of the tomato, it turns out that it came to Europe exclusively as an ornamental plant, because for a long time its fruits were considered poisonous. Today they are the main goal of those who grow tomatoes. Through the efforts of breeders, the image of the classic tomato is being replaced by its younger, more colorful and tasty counterparts, from which an original collection can be assembled.

An experienced tomato grower and tomato collector from Belarus will introduce us to the most amazing of them.

Nadezhda Kuts has been growing tomatoes for more than 30 years, and her collection includes about 400 varieties. Moreover, the bushes grow and bear fruit well not only in the greenhouse, but also in the open ground. Nadezhda Ivanovna is sure that with good care, even the most capricious varieties give an excellent harvest.

A significant part of my tomato collection consists of varieties with unusual fruit colors. Growing them is a lot of fun. You just want to admire these tomatoes; it’s a pity to pick them, much less use them for food, although they are not only beautiful, but also very tasty.

Rita black

A very successful tall variety from the USA. The fruits of Rita are black, beautiful dark brown in color, shaped like pears, very sweet and tasty. Bushes always delight with a good harvest.

Tomatoes can be a source of inspiration if you treat them as a beautiful and original crop. And they, in turn, will certainly become a decoration on your table. An experienced tomato grower recommended only proven varieties grown with her own hands. We hope they will not disappoint you either.
