Developed by breeders in Taiwan, this oblong-shaped staking tomato is unlike any we had tried before. It combines meatiness and tastiness in so perfect a combination that we couldn't stop eating them. Huge clusters of tomatoes grow like grapes and look irresistible on the vine, too. This is the variety that produced the world's record in 1987. This is a proven monster in Canadian tomato-growing contests, producing a tomato that has exceeded four pounds.
Some varieties do better under certain conditions than others.
It keeps popping up again and again in lists of gourmet gardener's must-grow tomatoes. Highly recommended by Organic Gardening magazine. Research has shown seaweed also improves absorption of nutrients, hastens seed germination and stimulates blossom and fruit development. Winners in tomato-growing contests and strawberry and raspberry growers have credited seaweed for their successful crops. Contains 55 trace elements and 21 amino acids.
