rèfle du Togo is a rare, open-pollinated heirloom tomato originating from Togo, West Africa. This early-producing, indeterminate variety bears clusters of small, deeply ruffled red to pinkish-red fruits resembling clover leaves. The juicy tomatoes offer a rich, full flavour and are excellent for salads, fresh eating, garnishing and sauces.
Grow the plants in full sunlight and fertile, well-drained soil. Provide stakes or cages to support the vigorous vines. Regular harvesting encourages continued fruit production.
