A BENCHMARK TOMATO

The PYROS F1 tomato is renowned for its round, red, plump and very tasty fruits. With an average weight of 180 to 200 grams, it offers unrivalled texture and flavour, making it an ideal choice for salads, stuffed tomatoes, sauces and many other culinary preparations.

One of the most appreciated qualities of PYROS is its resistance to late blight (IR), a common disease affecting many vegetable varieties, including tomatoes. This resilience allows gardeners to grow PYROS with greater confidence, even in difficult climatic conditions. This makes it an asset for all garden professionals, enabling them to market a variety that is well known to gardeners.

PYROS TOMATO: 50 YEARS OF A GARDENING ICON.

Over the past 50 years, PYROS has successfully adapted to evolving gardening trends and consumer expectations. It has become a benchmark for plant producers, seed packers and horticulturists, serving the needs of gardening enthusiasts.

Its success lies in a combination of tradition and innovation, with a reputation for abundant, high-quality harvests.
