Legs Diamond

• A distinctive cross by Tad Smith: Legs Diamond is a recent American variety developed by Tad Smith. It arose from a cross between Tad, itself derived from Old German × Tigerella, and Brandywine. The result combines striking stripes with the rich flavour character associated with Brandywine.
• Large fruits with golden stripes: The beefsteak tomatoes generally weigh 200 to 400 grams and are flattened at both ends. Noticeable ribbing often surrounds their broad, rounded shoulders. The red skin is decorated with fine to broader golden-yellow stripes, giving each fruit a slightly different appearance.
• Tender flesh and rich flavour: Beneath the striped skin lies thick, juicy flesh with a soft, pleasant texture. The flavour retains the rich, full character inherited from Brandywine. Delicious eaten fresh, particularly in thick slices that display the fruit’s attractive colours.
• Vigorous plants with potato leaves: Legs Diamond has an indeterminate growth habit and develops sturdy plants that can exceed 2 metres in height. Its distinctive potato-leaf foliage sets it apart from many other striped beefsteak tomatoes. Strong support and sufficient growing space are recommended.
• A long, steady harvest: From midseason, around 80 days under suitable conditions, the plants deliver good, regular harvests. Production can continue until the first frost. An appealing variety for gardeners who enjoy large, beautifully striped beefsteak tomatoes with excellent flavour.
