A favorite heirloom tomato variety from Australia. BUT, you cannot find it in the stores in Australia, nor have any of my friends, colleagues or family heard of this "gem".
According to Tomatofest, this is a dependable red heirloom tomato for the market, home and as a show tomato. Here is a picture of the first tomato that we harvested, it weighed in at 1lb 12oz. Tomatofest organic tomato seeds produce indeterminate, regular-leaf tomato plants that dependably yield picture-perfect, copious amounts of 1-2 lb., glossy-red, meaty, fluted, beefsteak tomatoes that are LOADED with delicious, bold, rich and complex tomatoey flavors. Great disease resistance. Good show tomato. One to impress your friends with....A winner!
SIMPLY TOMATOES NOTES:
This plant is MASSIVE in our garden. Looks like a tomato on steroids! It is strong, with incredible growth and resilience, showing no signs of weakness, even in the very cool July weather. Let's hope the tomatoes are fabulous. As of September 5, these plants have become the dominant force in the garden. They are thankfully sprawling over some of the other varieties that have lost many leaves to the cold, and therefore are acting as a protective force to the growing tomatoes on other plants that now have very little leaf sun protection. This plant could easily occupy a space 8'x8'x8'.
The flavor is as true down to earth full bodied tomato as it gets, very few seeds and extra juice, make it a great slicer for bread, basil, pepper and great olive oil. These tomatoes are also so big that you will need someone to help you eat even one fruit. Add a glas of wine and you have a gourmet dinner
