Orange Banana

• A Russian variety with a history: Orange Banana is a traditional Russian tomato already listed in the Seed Savers Yearbook in 1994. It stands out for its elongated fruits, warm apricot-orange colour and excellent qualities for culinary preparations.
• Elongated, apricot-orange fruits: The tomatoes are oval to elongated, approximately 8 to 10 cm long and 4 to 5 cm wide. They generally weigh between 50 and 100 grams and have attractive orange skin. Some fruits end in a small pointed tip. They grow in generous clusters, often containing 6 to 10 tomatoes.
• Ideal for sauces and coulis: The orange flesh is firm, with the characteristic texture of a paste tomato. Thanks to its high pectin content, sauces develop a pleasantly thick consistency through natural binding. Orange Banana is therefore particularly well suited to preparing flavourful tomato sauces and coulis.
• A pleasant, balanced flavour: The fruits have a delicious sweet taste with a subtle touch of refreshing acidity. This balance makes them suitable not only for cooked preparations but also enjoyable when eaten fresh.
• A productive plant for later harvests: Orange Banana has an indeterminate growth habit, abundant regular foliage and moderate development, reaching approximately 1.5 metres in height. The plants are highly productive, especially during the second half of the season. Suitable support helps carry the generously filled trusses.
