(Solanum lycopersicum)
An extraordinary Italian heirloom, Giant Tree is famous for its vigorous growth and remarkable productivity. Unlike standard tomato varieties, its long climbing vines can reach several metres in length and, when trained over a strong support structure, can be shaped into a tree-like canopy loaded with fruit.
This unique variety produces generous harvests of pinkish-red to red fruits with smooth, tender flesh and relatively few seeds. The tomatoes are rich in flavour and versatile in the kitchen, making them suitable for fresh eating, slicing, sauces, and cooking.
A favourite among adventurous gardeners, Giant Tree rewards good support and plenty of growing space with months of continuous harvests. Its impressive size and heavy cropping habit make it both a productive food crop and a stunning garden feature.
