Tatiana Kouchnareva (B.C KO T). Wes - ripe fruit. 2014-08-28.

B.C KO T

Indet. plants with wispy regular leaf foliage. Red heart shaped fruit, 8-12 oz on average, but some fruits can get up to 24 oz. The flavor is sweet and delicious. Certainly one of the best red heart-shaped tomatoes. Fruits are very meaty and almost seedless, and it always a challenge to collect enough seeds to offer it in our seed catalogue. Not very productive here but a must grow for taste. (very limited, 10 seeds / packet)
