A cross of Mordovian Blues with an unknown red beefsteak, this variety popped up in our polytunnel this year and was too good not to share! It is highly unstable, as an F2 you could easily end up with your own personal variety, but isn’t that part of the fun?!
This F1 expression produces loads of big, meaty, tasty beefsteak tomatoes with a scattering of anthocyanin on the shoulders. I planted a sucker outside in the ground in August, to see how it would get on, and the single fruit it produced in full sun had deep antho shoulders. The flavour is stongly tomato-ey, rich and sweet-savoury - a real flavour bomb, which is why I wanted to share it with you! Ideal for putting on a burger, making soup with, or a caprese salad.
Indeterminate, regular foliage, and one of the first large tomatoes to ripen in our garden, at 100 days
Indeterminate plants are vigorous plants with a vining tendency. They set their fruits at intervals along their stems, and will readily grow side shoots and suckers (shoots from ground level). They need good, strong support, and it is advisable to remove the majority of the side shoots and suckers unless you have plenty of space and fertile soil to allow them to grow to their full potential. See the guide on pruning indeterminates in the resources section of the website for tips.
Sow Jan-April indoors
Height Band G
