Description
'Lilac' is a medium-sized, oval-round beef tomato with a reddish-brown to purple color and a weight of 50 to 200 grams. It is very juicy with melt-in-the-mouth flesh and soft skin. The taste is mildly aromatic and sweet.
Non hybrid
Not frost resistant
Growing tips
The pole tomato must be supported with a pole or string; pinching out increases and accelerates the harvest and prevents fungal diseases.
