Sunset

• A rare variety with a little-known history: Sunset is a distinctive bicolour tomato whose precise origin remains unknown. The variety is listed in the Seed Savers Yearbook under number 4403. Its large golden-yellow fruits and delicate pink marbling make it an eye-catching addition to any tomato collection.
• Impressive fruits with beautifully ribbed shoulders: The large beefsteak tomatoes generally weigh between 300 and 500 grams. They are flattened and deeply ribbed across their upper half, with full, sometimes curved shoulders. Their golden-yellow skin develops a pink to red blush, often subtle early in the season but becoming more pronounced as the season progresses.
• Beautifully marbled flesh: The juicy, meaty flesh is predominantly yellow, with delicate pink marbling that becomes more intense towards the end of the season. The flavour is wonderfully sweet and mild, with a pleasant, full tomato character. An excellent choice for those who appreciate the gentle sweetness of bicolour beefsteak tomatoes.
• A vigorous plant carrying substantial fruits: Sunset has an indeterminate growth habit and regular foliage. The plants develop vigorously and can reach approximately two metres in height. Sturdy support is recommended to carry the weight of the large fruits.
• Good harvests in the second half of the season: Production develops mainly later in the growing season, providing a satisfying crop of large beefsteak tomatoes. Sunset is especially appealing to gardeners who enjoy impressive fruits with a delicate, sweet flavour.
