It belongs to the species Solanum lycopersicum, family Solanaceae. An indeterminate, vigorous plant with covering foliage and natural resistance to some soil-borne diseases.
Sow in a heated seedbed between February and March; transplant between April and May, with the best results from early transplanting.
It needs systematic removal of side shoots; regular watering supports berries growing up to 150 grams.
The round fruits, rich in anthocyanins, turn dark brown tending to purple at ripeness and are harvested as soon as ripe to limit cracking.
