Last Friday, 46 tomato varieties were planted at the RZ Tomato Demo Greenhouse in Leamington, Canada. 23 of these varieties are newcomers.  

"The demo gives visitors a complete overview of our wide range, which includes specialty, grape, cocktail and large truss tomatoes" explains Marleen van der Torre, Advisor Greenhouse Crops of Rijk Zwaan. "We were actually intending to plant all the varieties a couple of days earlier, but the recent hard frost meant that the plants were still slightly too small."

The demo site will be open to visitors from early May onwards.
