About Maerchengranat (Märchengranat)
The ‘Maerchengranat’ cherry tomato is a stunning variety that yields fruit in massive multiflora-type clusters (with 200–500 individual fruits per cluster)! It was bred and commercially introduced by the ‘Kleverhof’* seed company of Elmonherst, Germany.
Brown, pear-shaped, and thin-skinned cherry tomatoes weighing 0.25-0.70oz./7-20g are produced by this indeterminate, regular-leaf plant. The fruit’s balanced and earthy flavor makes it a fantastic addition to salsa, chutney, and jam, and it pairs beautifully with a salad with goat cheese. This variety ripens for enjoyment mid-season, 70-80 days after transplant.
*’Kleverhof’ seed company developed the extensive Märchen Series (Märchen is a fairy tale in German) including the following varieties: Märchenfee, Märchenwald, Märchenmonster, Märchengold, Märchenglanz, Märchenfrucht, Märchenengel, Märchenzauber, Märchensnack.
