B.C KO T

indet., regular leaf, it was surprisingly relatively early for me in 2009. Plants produce many large oblate beefsteaks with some green shoulders that fully disappear later in a season, small core, nice meaty texture, outstanding sweet flavor. One of my favorite tomatoes in 2009.

2009 notes

plants and fruits from both seeds sources were identical.

Large vines need caging or staking, 85 days, good yield of 8-12 oz (but sometimes 1 lb or more) oblate pink fruit with very good sweet rich flavor. One of the better yielding large-fruited varieties.
