Cardinal Mazarin

• A Russian tomato with a distinctive name : Cardinal Mazarin is a traditional tomato variety from Russia, also known by the Russian name Kardinal Mazarini. It stands out for its large pink heart-shaped fruits, delicate flavour and remarkably extended harvesting season.
• Generous clusters of pink hearts : The fruits generally weigh between 300 and 400 grams and have a full heart-shaped form, sometimes with broad shoulders. They develop in clusters of approximately five to six tomatoes. At maturity, the skin takes on an attractive pink to rosy-red colour.
• Sweet, gentle and wonderfully meaty : Inside lies thick, firm and meaty flesh with relatively few seeds. The flavour is especially appealing: mild, sweet and aromatic, without sharp acidity taking centre stage. These substantial tomatoes are excellent served fresh in generous slices.
• A tall plant with a slender silhouette : Cardinal Mazarin grows indeterminately and may exceed two metres in height. Its relatively thin stems, narrow structure and somewhat drooping regular foliage are distinctive features. Sturdy support is important to carry the heavy fruit clusters.
• A long harvest from early to late : Production can begin relatively early and continue steadily until the first frost. The combination of substantial fruits and an extended, generous harvest makes this variety especially appealing to enthusiasts of pink beefsteak tomatoes.
• Fruits with good resistance to cracking : Cardinal Mazarin is known for good resistance to fruit cracking and splitting. This is a useful characteristic in large tomatoes, although even watering and suitable growing conditions remain important.
