Description

Good old French dark, slightly later tomato variety. Juicy, fleshy purple-brown fruits are approx. 5.5-10 cm/2.2-3.9 in in diameter and weigh approx. 90-350g. Plant is cultivated at a height of approx. 150-180 cm/1.6-2 yd. Leave 1-2 stems. Can also cope well with a third stem, the fruits are then smaller. Wonderfully sweet and fruity, with a very slight, pleasant acidity. The beefsteak tomato 'Charbonneuse' is also known as 'Noir Russe'. It produces dark red to brown, medium-sized fruits with a very good aroma and bears abundantly. It is equally suitable for salads and cooking. Suitable for protected cultivation.

Non hybrid

Not frost resistant

Growing tips

Sowing: Sow the seeds on the surface of moist, well-drained sowing soil, press down lightly and cover with sieved substrate. Place the sowing containers in a propagator or cover with a thin transparent film (remove this after germination). The plants will germinate quickly in a bright place at 18-22°C/64-72°F. After about three weeks, prick out individually into pots with a diameter of 8-10 cm/3.1-3.9 in. Plant out the young plants from mid-May at the earliest at a distance of 50-60 cm/19.7-23.6 in, preferably in a tomato house or in pots in a sheltered, sunny spot. Tomatoes need well-drained, nutritious soil. Fertilize once a week (organic fertilizer is recommended) as soon as fruits appear. Removing the shoot tips at the end of the growing season accelerates ripening. Cultivate the plant at a height of approx. 150-180 cm/1.6-2 yd. Leave 1-2 stems. Will also cope well with a third stem, the fruits will then be smaller.
