Indeterminate growth habit, beefsteak type
Sort by:
The Beefsteak Tomato 'Venus's Breast' , an old variety originating from Italy, is easily recognizable by its unique shape: a round, red fruit ending in a small point reminiscent of a breast. This characteristic gives it its evocative name, rooted in the imagery of Mediterranean gardens.
In the vegetable garden, it grows vigorously, forming indeterminate plants that can reach 1.6 m in height. Its dense foliage requires good staking to support its regular and generous production. In a well-exposed, fertile spot , it thrives in the sun, drawing on fertile soil to produce fruits that are both fleshy, firm, and visually unique.
The 'La Pasquale' beefsteak tomato is often described as the pinnacle of tomatoes by those who have cultivated and cooked with it extensively. At Jardins Sauvages in Saint-Roch-de-l'Achigan, François Brouillard doesn't hesitate to call it extraordinary: among the hundred or so varieties he has grown since the 1980s, none rivals it. It was a friend, a mushroom forager named Pasquale, who gave him the seeds. Originating from his Italian family, these seeds were passed down from generation to generation, giving their name to this exceptional variety.
In the garden, La Pasquale forms an indeterminate plant, producing large, very fleshy fruits in clusters of 5 to 10 tomatoes. The flesh is dense, juicy, very few seeds, with a moderate acidity that makes it particularly pleasant to eat. Harvesting usually begins towards the end of August. When grown in open fields, it is recommended to pick the fruits as soon as they turn red, as they become more fragile when fully ripe. This variety also grows very well in greenhouses, where it fully expresses its potential.
In the local area, La Pasquale is perceived as a tomato of conviction and loyalty. It embodies those varieties so perfected that they alone are enough to structure an entire production.
The Belle Linda tomato is a rare treasure, born under the watchful eye of Michel Verdon, aka "The Tomatoologist." Appearing through spontaneous crossbreeding in 2011, it was patiently selected and stabilized, then named in honor of Linda, the love of his life. This story gives this tomato a profoundly human and relational dimension, like a plant of memory carried by the heart.
In the garden, Belle Linda forms a large, indeterminate plant, reaching up to 2 meters in height. Its regular, slightly open foliage reveals superb , heart-shaped fruits with a slightly ribbed, deep red skin. Generous, it offers regular harvests in mid-season, approximately 75 days after planting.
In a nourishing garden that respects living things, it becomes a precious, faithful and sensitive companion, flourishing in living soil and a patient relationship with the rhythm of the seasons .
The Nice Beefsteak Tomato is an old variety emblematic of the Mediterranean region, selected for its generous fruit and hardy cultivation. In a thriving garden, it grows gracefully on its support, bearing long clusters of pear-shaped fruit with smooth skin and a reddish-orange hue.
This is a vigorous, indeterminate plant that thrives in rich, well-drained soil and full sun to reach its full potential. In a well-balanced vegetable garden , it requires some attention and support, but in return, it offers an abundant harvest of flavorful fruit starting 85 days after planting.
