Sweet Casady

• A colourful creation by Tom Wagner: Sweet Casady is a relatively recent American tomato variety developed by Tom Wagner. It resembles the well-known Striped Roman, but produces considerably smaller fruits with the same elegant, elongated appearance.
• Small fruits with golden stripes: The tomatoes measure approximately 4 to 6 cm in length and have a slender, oval to plum-like shape. Some end in a delicate pointed tip. Their red skin is decorated with vertical golden-yellow stripes, giving the fruits a particularly attractive appearance.
• A mild, sweet flavour: The firm flesh has the characteristic texture of a paste tomato, with a pleasantly mild and sweet flavour. Sweet Casady is therefore excellent for preparing tomato sauces and coulis, although the fruits are also enjoyable fresh.
• Slender plants with vigorous growth: The plants have an indeterminate growth habit and can reach approximately 2 metres in height. They develop relatively fine stems and a narrow growing habit, with regular foliage that may appear somewhat sparse. Suitable support helps manage the tall plants and their fruit trusses.
• Abundant harvests over a long period: Sweet Casady produces very generously from midseason onwards, with harvests potentially continuing until the first frost. The fruits also keep well after picking, making this variety especially practical for gardeners who enjoy preparing larger quantities of sauces or coulis.
