Description
Alicante is a unevenly sized golfball, red tomato with a full-bodied taste. The quality of the tomato is shown by the fact that it has an RHS AGM (Award of Garden Merit). The early/mid ripening, indeterminate, regular-leafed plant is an old variety, greenback free, it produces heavy crops and is ideal for both greenhouse and outdoor use. Historically, it was used as the breakfast tomato, boiled and served with bacon & eggs. Very tasty, full-bodied, a favourite with us because of its high productivity & taste.
