About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

You will find a dark cocktail tomato that carries its round fruit in elegant clusters and turns a deep purplish brown as it ripens. In flavor it is among the most intense for its size: full-bodied sweet with a spicy depth you usually only find in large beefsteak tomatoes. It grows vigorously and needs a sturdy trellis and regular pinching. Like all dark varieties it is susceptible to brown rot in damp weather, so a rain-protected spot is worthwhile.

Juicy and aromatic, the sweetness is carried by a dark almost plum-like spice. When eaten raw it releases its full spectrum best.
