The Solanum lycopersicum 'Plourde' tomato is an organic heirloom variety known for the remarkable quality of its fruit, its beautiful presence in the garden, and its sweet, non-bitter flavor. On its determinate plant, it develops a later production, ideal for gardeners who want to extend harvests until the end of the growing season in regions with longer summers. Its scarlet red tomatoes, perfectly round and generously fleshy, immediately catch the eye and promise a harvest that is both abundant and refined. Their firm, juicy, light red flesh reveals a pleasant texture and a balanced taste, particularly appreciated in salads and in everyday cooking. This heirloom variety also has the advantage of offering good disease resistance, which increases its appeal for family vegetable gardens. Grown in full sun in rich, well-drained soil, it proves reliable and productive, especially with light staking to support the largest fruits. We particularly like to harvest it at the end of summer, when its beautiful ripe fruits elegantly and generously close the season. Both heritage, flavorful, and vigorous, 'Plourde' is a valuable tomato for gardeners seeking authenticity and quality.
