Description

Huge! This is the variety that holds the record for producing the world's largest tomato - a whopping 7 lb. 12 oz. (3 Kg) beauty grown by Gordon Graham of Edmond, Oklahoma, and listed in the Guinness Book of World Records 1986.

A single slice from one of these can be large enough to cover a piece of bread, we've had them hanging over the sides! Despite its novelty value, this is a truly delicious variety with sweet, dense, juicy flesh that is truly gorgeous grilled, fried or even pulped down for sauces and paste (freeze your surplus for winter use). And of course these are fantastic for hollowing out and stuffing! The fruits are smooth skinned and have very few seeds so very meaty.

Developed by Burpee's, it took them 13 years to perfect this variety and it's well worth the wait!

• This is an indeterminate variety and best grown as a cordon (vine).
• Support of the developing crop with strings, canes or similar will be essential!
• For best yields stop at 3rd or 4th truss if growing under protection (2nd or 3rd outside).
• Whilst the best crops will be grown under protection, this variety can also be grown outside.
