Hazel Mae

• A colourful American heirloom: Hazel Mae is a traditional tomato variety from the United States. It stands out for its impressive fruits, combining golden-yellow, orange and red tones that give each tomato its own distinctive appearance.
• Large, deeply ribbed beefsteak tomatoes: The flattened fruits often weigh between 250 and 500 grams, although exceptional specimens can approach one kilogram. Their glossy, golden-yellow skin is decorated with red stripes and marbling. Deep, regular ribs often extend across much of the fruit.
• Beautifully marbled flesh: When sliced, Hazel Mae reveals firm yet juicy orange-yellow flesh with pink to red marbling, particularly towards the centre. The flavour is rich, distinctly sweet and wonderfully aromatic, as expected from an excellent bicolour beefsteak tomato.
• Vigorous indeterminate plants: Hazel Mae has an indeterminate growth habit, regular foliage and vigorous development. The plants can reach approximately 2 metres in height. Sturdy support is important because of the size and weight of the fruits.
• A rewarding late-season harvest: Hazel Mae is a later-ripening variety, producing good harvests mainly during the second half of the season. Its large, juicy fruits are especially enjoyable fresh, served in thick slices or used in colourful summer dishes.
