Description
Solanum lycopersicum
A Romanian tomato producing large, roughly heart-shaped fruit that weigh an average of 365g and measure about 8.5cm in diameter. Captain Beefheart’s big taste is combined with a juicy flesh, tender skin and few seeds, making it one of the best large-fruited tomatoes you are likely to encounter. The plants are good growers and will produce fruit well into the autumn.
A great variety whether it is eaten fresh or fried as part of a Full English Breakfast.
Indeterminate (cordon) growth habit
