Description
Vivagrande is our first beefsteak tomato with outstanding resistance to late blight (Phythophthora infestans). The variety produces exceptionally high yields in the open field and is a real must for anyone who wants to harvest beefsteak tomatoes in the open field. The red fruits have a fruit weight of around 200g and a remarkably good fruit quality for beef tomatoes. The taste is pleasantly mild and balanced. The large fruits and firm flesh make Vivagrande an excellent cooking tomato that can also be processed quickly in large quantities. The plants have very low vigor and can therefore be easily grown in containers or on lower trellises.
