An early, hardy and productive dwarf tomato from Estonia. Mato has a great sweet-tangy taste. The bright red saladette size fruits (a bit bigger than golf balls; 90 g to 100 g) grow on compact plants (about 2 feet tall). This tomato is container friendly.
‘Mato’ was bred at the Eesti Taimekasvatuse Instituut and is well suited to a short, northern climate. Our original seedstock came from Estonia.
How to Plant: Start seeds indoors 6 weeks before the last frost. Plant seed 5mm (¼ inch) deep. Transplant after the danger of frost has passed/later spring.
The needlepoint in the background of Mato is an original creation of the Estonian master craftsperson Regina Jurivee.
