It is a determinate<\/strong>, mid-season variety that produces a heavy yield of small, firm, bright red plum tomatoes with a distinct sharp beak, weighing around 1.8-2.8 oz (50-80 g). Excellent for whole-fruit canning and known for its great storage qualities. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Determinate (up to 24 inches \/ 60 cm), mid-season variety. Fruits weigh up to 1.8-2.8 oz (50-80 g). They are bright red plums with a sharp beak, firm, and store well. Yield is high! I grew one bush in the greenhouse, didn’t prune the suckers, but it definitely requires good staking. This variety is primarily for whole-fruit canning.<\/p>\n

Sveta @Svetikk, huge thanks for the seeds of this productive beauty. I really loved this variety. I grew three bushes out in the dirt without any cover. To me, Roi Humbert is basically a twin brother to Vesennaya Kapel (Spring Drop). The varieties are very similar in bush height, plant structure, leaf shape, and how the trusses are built. The fruits on both are similar in size, color, and having that little beak, but Vesennaya Kapel’s are just a bit plumper.<\/p>\n
