Translating Seed Package Gift From Germany

greenthumbomaha · January 26, 2013

I received a commercial package of TOMBOLINO cherry tomato seeds from a German friend from the company www.gartenland.com. Is this tomato known by another name in the US? If I searched correctly it isn't on the tbase. An interesting note is the seeds I received as a gift are packaged for sale until 2016. - L.

Yeah good luck, I did a google search and came up with nothing but a resturauant in New York. Tomodori sent me to vent marin that didn't have it.

Paging Carolyn.

Thank-you, Andrey. My Google references were all in a different language with translation available, which translated in "Cute" English, clearly not intended for the English speaking market. It appears this company, based in California, specifically breeds for the commercial greenhouse and distributes worldwide. Cool! Will be happy to share, just pm.

When you look for a german tomato, all you have to do is add TOMATE next to the tomato name. Here's what I got out of the search, it's clearly a red cherry hybrid tomato:

That is when you google with www.google.de/. If you use Google Chrome for your browser it has an automatic translation feature that comes in handy also.

Possibly Thumbelina? Just a guess.
