Cultivation tips:

Although it is an excellent tomato, its fragility leads us to advise you not to cultivate only this variety (never put all your eggs in one basket).
The Andean horn is a variety that is a good candidate for grafting. Feel free to read our article on grafting tomatoes.
We grow this variety outdoors, but if you have the opportunity, prefer to grow it in a greenhouse.
