BIG ZAC LA RUE, USA. A tall-growing giant — flavor and power in one variety! This is a mid-season tomato variety with strong, sturdy plants that reach about 1.7 meters in height. It truly impresses not only with its appearance but also with its flavor characteristics.

The variety is highly productive and requires staking not only for the plant itself but also for the fruit clusters, as they often overload the branches with their weight. This is an ideal choice for those who want to grow a tomato that impresses with both size and taste.

FRUITS & FLAVOR

The fruits are large, round-flat, with a rich, bright red skin. Fruit weight ranges from 300 to 800 grams, but with proper care, much larger specimens are possible. The flesh is very meaty, dense, and juicy, with a deep tomato aroma.

In terms of flavor, it’s a perfect balance: sweetness competes with acidity, and it’s hard to tell which wins — but together, they create a truly rich and vivid taste. This variety confidently earns a 5+ out of 5 for flavor.

TOMATO HISTORY

This variety has an interesting story: it originated from seeds of a tomato weighing 3.26 kg, grown in 2016 by a farmer named La Rue. That record-breaking fruit became the basis for a new line — and now you can plant its descendant in your own garden!
