Rose de Berne Tomato
Indeterminate
75 days to harvest
Solanum lycopersicum
HEIRLOOM If we could only grow one single slicing tomato, this would be it. A Swiss heirloom and a Brandywine cousin, the depth of rich fruit flavor makes Rose de Berne Tomato our favorite for sandwiches and, truly, everything else. Her soft, translucent pink skin rarely cracks, even on the largest of the 4 to 6-ounce tomatoes. Rose de Berne is pure abundance once she starts producing and some Late Blight tolerance offers extra weeks of harvest even when disease arrives.

I tried this variety for the first time this year and I have been super happy with it. It has surpassed all other varieties in production. The fruit has a wonderful flavor and has become a family favorite. I will definitely grow this variety again.
