Tomato Tomande | Marmande Beefsteak Tomato F1

If you’re after proper, old-fashioned tomato flavour with modern reliability, this one ticks both boxes. Producing generous crops of large, slightly ribbed red fruits around 170-180g (6-6.5oz) each, it delivers meaty flesh, few seeds and a rich, balanced taste that works just as well sliced into salads as it does cooked down into sauces. The fruits have that classic Marmande look, with gentle ribbing and a full, rounded shape.

This is an indeterminate, 'Marmande'-type cordon tomato, so it will keep growing and cropping through the season when trained up a cane or string. Tomato ‘Tomande’ performs brilliantly in a greenhouse or in a warm, sunny outdoor spot with shelter, where it can put its energy into steady, high yields. Expect your first ripe tomatoes in around 72 days. Awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit, it is valued for combining traditional depth of flavour with the vigour and disease resistance of a modern hybrid.
