Quick Summary of Argentina
- 🌍 Origin: A classic heirloom variety well-documented in Tatiana’s TOMATObase.
- 🌿 Plant Habit: Indeterminate (tall) with regular leaf foliage. It is highly disease-resistant and very reliable. In cooler climates, it performs wonderfully in greenhouses.
- 🍅 Fruit Characteristics: Large, meaty pink beefsteaks. The fruits are consistently large, typically weighing over 300g (10.5 oz).
- 👅 Flavor: Historically noted for excellent taste, but it is highly dependent on soil nutrition. If the plant lacks sufficient potassium, the tomatoes may develop a more ordinary, slightly tart/acidic flavor profile rather than their true sweet potential.
- ⏳ Maturity & Yield: Mid-season overall, but growers note it is often one of the very first varieties to start setting fruit. Produces a very good yield.

Mine turned out with an ordinary taste, with a bit of tartness. Maybe the variety lacked potassium.
The bush didn’t get sick with anything, it was among the first of the greenhouse varieties to set fruit, and the yield is good.
