Giant Belgian Pink Tomato
Origin: USA
Item #: TOM011
According to one source,
the Giant Belgian Tomato was first discovered by a German immigrant named
Albert Behnke who entered the nursery business at Beltsville, Maryland
in the 1930's. Through Behnke, this tomato of an undocumented origin soon
spread like a wildfire throughout the Eastern United States in the 1950's,
with many of Behnke's customers driving for many hours to pick up their
Giant Belgian Tomato plants. Reportedly, from here, the tomato also found
its way into the catalogue of Gleckler's Seed Co. of Ohio in the 1950's,
but there seems to be debate as to whether it was Behnke or Gleckler who
had the variety first.
Giant Belgian is an exceptional
producer of huge, dark pink tomatoes that feature an exquisite sweet taste.
The tomatoes are very large, averaging 1.5 to 2 pounds, with some sources
also reporting tomatoes of this variety from 3 to 5 pounds on rare ocassions.
Giant Belgian is one of our largest tomato varieties and one of our most
recommended. Indeterminate. Matures in about 80-90 days
