So sweet, juicy, and delicious—yes, it’s definitely Jumbo Red! Very large, beefsteak-type fruits, perfect for sandwiches. Slightly tart in flavor. The fruits are large, about 10 cm in diameter and weighing between 300 and 650 grams. The plant is tall with a sturdy stem and requires staking or trellising. It has enhanced disease resistance. A very high-yielding variety!
The name honors the memory of Andrew Rahart, a tomato seed collector from Westchester County, New York. The Sand Hill Preservation Center lists this variety among the tomatoes associated with his collection. These seeds also serve as a record of the work of the people who collected them and passed them on to subsequent gardeners.
