🍅 Tomato – ES 58 (Heirloom)
(Solanum lycopersicum)
Reliable, versatile, and well suited to Australian conditions, ES 58 tomato is a proven heirloom variety valued for its consistent yields and excellent eating quality. Producing medium to large, smooth red fruits with a slightly flattened shape, it offers a firm yet juicy texture that makes it ideal for both fresh use and cooking.
This variety is known for its balanced flavour—mildly sweet with low acidity—making it a popular choice for salads, sandwiches, sauces, and everyday meals. Its firm flesh holds together well when sliced, while still delivering a juicy bite.
ES 58 grows as a compact to semi‑bush plant, making it easier to manage than large climbing varieties while still producing generous crops over the season. With good tolerance to heat and resistance to cracking and common issues, it is a dependable option for gardeners seeking an easy, productive tomato.
