What makes it special?
Dattelwein is an old German cocktail tomato with large, strongly branching trusses and numerous yellow, pear- to date-shaped fruit. The small tomatoes taste sweet, fruity and lightly spicy.
The vigorous cordon tomato is great for snacking, salads and garnishing. Given the heavy multiflora trusses, a sturdy support and extra truss supports are worthwhile.

Dattelwein tomato plant – an aromatic young plant raised by us
Dattelwein – character and use
Dattelwein is an open-pollinated old German variety known for its strongly branching multiflora trusses. A single truss can carry a great many yellow fruit. Its small pear-to-date shape and abundant fruit set make it an interesting variety for snacking gardens and colourful tomato mixes.
Fruit, flavour and harvest
The fruit usually weighs 10 to 30 grams and has a thin yet comparatively firm skin. Flavour-wise, it's sweet and fruity with a lightly spicy note. It suits snacking, salads, light lunch platters and as a yellow garnish. Fully yellow-ripe fruit shows the best aroma.
Position and care
Dattelwein grows as a vigorous cordon tomato to around two metres or taller. Alongside a sturdy support, the large, heavy trusses should also be secured. A warm, sunny and, where possible, rain-sheltered spot is ideal. In a container, plan for at least 20 litres of substrate, water evenly, and train the plant to one or two main shoots.
A tomato young plant, raised by us
We raise the Dattelwein tomato plant ourselves at our family business in Illmitz. You'll get a vigorous young plant to start your tomato season. After shipping, it should first stand in a bright, sheltered spot and be gradually acclimatised to direct sun and outdoor conditions. It's only planted out permanently once no more late frosts are expected.
Absolutely recommended! I’m completely impressed with this chili plant seller. The quality of the plants is outstanding – strong, healthy, and clearly grown with passion and expertise.
The absolute highlight for me, however, was that this seller is one of the few places that offers my all-time favorite variety, the Lemon Drop chili. I’ve finally found a reliable source for this fantastic variety!
Shipping was fast, and the plants were perfectly packaged, so they arrived in excellent condition. I can wholeheartedly recommend this seller to any chili lover looking for top quality and fast delivery. I will definitely be ordering here again!

I’ve been buying my chili powder from the Tschida family for years, and it’s the best you can get. The family is always very friendly and helpful as well. I can wholeheartedly recommend their products to everyone.

#1 Spice supplier
Super friendly service when buying chili plants, and the products are truly excellent. My #1 source for heat :) The ultimate compliment came from an Indian colleague who said that with Tschida chili sauces, he can finally enjoy the level of heat he knows from home here in Europe!

Simply top!
Tschida Tschili – where heat and flavor come together in perfect harmony. The chili products are simply outstanding. I love spicy food, but many products just burn your tongue without delivering any real flavor. With Tschida Tschili, it’s completely different. For an experienced palate, everything is very enjoyable. The flavors are perfectly matched to the level of heat, resulting in truly delicious products.
I visit the farm from time to time as part of my culinary tours with groups. What can I say? Jan and his family are simply the perfect hosts – friendly, authentic, and genuinely local. I always really enjoy visiting you!
