Star

• A rare American heirloom with character : Star is an old tomato variety from the United States, distinguished by its large, beautifully coloured bicolour fruits. Its warm colour combinations, marbled flesh and excellent productivity make it an attractive addition to the vegetable garden.
• Large fruits in a sunny palette : The beefsteak tomatoes generally weigh between 200 and 400 grams. Their shape varies with size: usually flattened, with noticeably ribbed shoulders, particularly on the largest fruits. At full maturity, the orange-yellow skin develops an appealing red blush around the blossom end.
• Beautifully marbled flesh inside : The juicy, meaty flesh displays a mixture of yellow and orange tones, delicately marbled with pink and red. As the season progresses, these warm colours may become increasingly intense. The flavour is pleasantly balanced, offering moderate sweetness with a subtle, refreshing touch of acidity. Especially enjoyable fresh, served in thick slices.
• A vigorous plant with continuous growth : Star has an indeterminate growth habit, regular foliage and generally reaches approximately 1.8 metres in height. The plants develop vigorously and benefit from sturdy support to carry their substantial fruits.
• Generous harvests, even in warm summers : From midseason onwards, Star produces excellent, steady crops that can continue until the first frost under favourable conditions. The variety tolerates heat particularly well, making it an interesting choice for gardeners who want to enjoy large, flavourful beefsteak tomatoes during hot summer weather.
