BELLE DU COLLEGE (COLLEGE BEAUTY). A signature variety developed by Tom Wagner (USA). Originally, the tomato was provocatively named "Join or Die", but in 2009, at the request of fellow breeders, it was renamed "Belle du College" in honor of an agricultural college in Canada. This is a mid-season, indeterminate tomato that produces stable and abundant yields with proper care.

In open ground, the plants reach 1.3–1.5 meters tall. The fruits are medium-sized, round and slightly flattened. The skin is a rich brown-red with green and dark green stripes. It produces a regular, mid-early harvest and is better suited for outdoor growing than greenhouse conditions. Recommended for fresh eating, salads, and beautiful slicing — it looks stunning on the plate.

As the fruit ripens, the skin changes color from green with streaks to a deep wine-red with bronze-green highlights. The flesh is tri-colored, deep cherry-raspberry, dense, and bursting with bold, spicy-sweet flavor. The aroma is complex and rich. The plant is vigorous, with regular foliage and strong growth potential. A recommended variety — like all creations by Tom Wagner.
