excellent service very well packaged healthy looking plant arrived
J.W., Gloucestershire
Supplied as a packet of approximately 15 seeds.
This Product is Available Now.Despite this variety not actually being that old (we first grew this in 2000) it was discontinued by the breeder a few years ago and so seed of this F1 Hybrid was no longer available. We have to say we don't quite know why it was discontinued as it had so much going for it and so decided to save seed and, by a careful reselection process (that is ongoing), produced a stable dehybridisation with all the characteristics of the original.
Extremely heavy cropping, producing huge trusses of billiard ball-sized fruits with a quality and uniformity that is difficult to match. The dense fruits have an excellent sweet flavour and are extremely juicy - just what you'd expect from a tomato that looks like a tomato should!
Another benefit of 'Blizzard' is that, unlike most varieties of tomato, it is able to set fruit in poor light conditions, making early and late season cropping very possible.
