Description

Old variety. Visually and in terms of taste, an exceptional variety. Very robust and resistant flesh tomato, little susceptible to disease. Ripening time: about 85 days. Firm to bursting. The fruits are purple-red and flat-round ribbed. They grow to about 8 cm in size and weigh about 120-200 g. Fruity-sweet, aromatic taste, for which the long wait is worth it. Grows to about 1.6 m.

Non hybrid

Not frost resistant

Growing tips

With me, the variety is mostly under the roof in the open ground. The plants have a real tendency to proliferate and form large bushes, if you allow it. The late variety ripens here only in early September, so I grow only one trunk with a maximum of 4 fruiting. Should be tied tightly to help the plant carry the heavy fruit.
