- Excellent flavour described as a true tomato - balanced sweet and acid
- Very early with good fruit set in cooler climates
- Indeterminant
Always our first tomatoes - early season plants produce clusters of deep red, slightly flattened, 200gm ribbed fruit with excellent flavour. Classic French heirloom has exceptional fruit set in cool areas.
We found this to be a wonderful early tomato for eating and a highly productive variety in late season perfect for preserving.

TRANSPLANT (recommended) – Start transplants 5- 6 weeks before planting date. Sow seeds 6mm deep, 4 seeds/2.5cm. Lightly cover. Keep mix at 23-28°C. Pot up into 5cm or larger cells after first set of true leaves appear. For growing transplants, maintain temperature at around 22°C during the day and 18°C at night
Harden off plants by slightly reducing temperature to 15-18°C and reducing water for 2-3 days before transplanting.
NOTE - Don't start too early—leggy, root-bound, or flowering transplants can cause stunting and reduce early production. Avoid exposing unprotected plants to consecutive nightly temperatures below 7°C.
