Brooks' Special

Indeterminate. Cordon. Donated by Mr Brooks whose father and grandfather had also grown it; he believes this variety to be 170-180 years old. The variably sized red fruit are sweet, juicy and good when eaten raw or cooked. Easy to grow and productive. Seed Guardian Mary Gotts says "thin skinned with a sweet taste. Lovely eaten straight from the plant". One Ryton staff member described it as "how a tomato should taste", but we will leave that up to you to decide.
