The Smile medium-long tomato is an F1 hybrid variety with elongated oval fruit, valued for its high productivity and great adaptability to any climate condition.
It belongs to the species Solanum lycopersicum, family Solanaceae. A vigorous indeterminate plant, capable of producing a very high number of fruits both in open field and in greenhouse.
Sow in a heated seedbed between February and March, with soil temperature between 20 and 25°C; transplant between April and May.
Thanks to its rusticity it adapts perfectly to all climates, both in open field and in greenhouse; it needs staking and regular watering to sustain the abundant production.
The oval, small to medium sized fruits turn from green to bright red as they ripen: harvest at full colour for the best flavour.
Like other indeterminate varieties it can suffer from blossom-end rot under irregular watering; good canopy ventilation helps prevent downy mildew and powdery mildew.
Thanks to its steady productivity and regular shape it is perfect both for fresh table use and for homemade sauces and preserves.
Rich in lycopene, vitamin C and potassium, Smile tomato has antioxidant properties beneficial to overall wellbeing.
