Alicante stands out as a top-tier tomato variety, encompassing all the desirable qualities we seek in tomatoes. This superior cultivar delivers an exceptional yield of rich, full-bodied flavor. Renowned for its popularity, Alicante matures early, presenting a consistent crop of medium-sized, fleshy fruits in the early part of the season. It thrives in various settings, whether planted directly in the soil or in grow bags. An esteemed heritage variety and cherished among English gardeners, Alicante made its debut in 1966, representing an enhancement of the well-established ‘Moneymaker’ type. The fruits, weighing approximately 70 to 90 grams, showcase robust resistance to mildew and greenback, ensuring even ripening. Alicante is highly recommended for beginners and serves as an ideal choice for children to cultivate. Given their susceptibility to frost, meticulous timing in sowing and planting outdoors is crucial for the successful cultivation of these tomatoes.
