The Ultimo F1 tomato is a high-yielding hybrid developed by the Dutch breeding company ENZA ZADEN, suitable for cultivation in open ground and under plastic coverings. The plants are indeterminate, low-growing, reaching a height of about 40-50 cm, making them suitable for cultivation even in limited spaces. The fruits have a flat-round shape, with an average weight ranging from 100 to 155 grams; ripe tomatoes are vivid red, while unripe ones are light green. The hybrid exhibits high resistance to diseases such as tobacco mosaic virus, fusarium, verticillium, and cladosporiosis, significantly simplifying care and enhancing crop stability.
One of the key features of Ultimo F1 is its heat and drought tolerance. This tomato can withstand high temperatures and temporary lack of watering without compromising fruit development or quality. Thanks to these characteristics, the hybrid is ideal for cultivation in hot climates and areas with limited water supply. The fruits are juicy, firm, and meaty, with a classic rich flavor, making them versatile for use — they are excellent for fresh consumption in salads as well as for full-fruit canning.
The harvest ripens in mid-season, approximately 80-85 days after germination, allowing for fresh tomatoes to be harvested at the beginning of the season. Compact bushes produce numerous evenly spaced fruits with smooth or slightly ribbed surfaces, which withstand transportation well and maintain an attractive appearance. Ultimo F1 is a reliable choice for gardeners seeking high-quality, flavorful harvests with minimal care and plant protection costs.
