| Description : This is a really massive tomato - we've included a picture of it next to a (rather large) mug here to try to give you an idea of the scale.
Kate came by a selection of interesting tomatoes from a small local seed company on a visit to Seville a few years back. This variety proved to be a real stand out both in terms of earliness (this year only the super-early bushes ripened earlier) and flavour. You can see in the photo that it also makes really quite a lot of fruits.
The name translates as 'ugly, from the wide river' - well they may not be the prettiest of tomatoes, but in this case looks definitely aren't everything!
Very, very large red tomato, recommended for a greenhouse or polytunnel |
