AUSTRALIAN (AUSSIE). A mid-to-late-season, outstanding large red tomato with heavy fruits weighing 550 g. and more. All fruits are large, very aromatic in taste, with dense flesh, sweet with a slight acidity, and a rich tomato flavor! Excellent in all aspects! The plant reaches 1.7 m. in open ground, strong, with sturdy stems. The number of fruits per plant is limited. A tall, mid-season, high-yielding variety. Giant fruits withstood the severe droughts of 2015 and 2018.

The skin is red, not thick, the flesh is meaty, very juicy, and tender. The taste is good but not very pronounced (not explosive), mild, and becomes more vibrant with salt. Perfect for juices and cooking. In the 2018 season, three days of July rains following a month-and-a-half-long drought caused fruit cracking. To prevent this, it is important to maintain relatively even watering (about once a week). One of the top 20 favorites of the world-famous tomato Gary Ibsen.
