Carlton

Indeterminate. Cordon. Named after the donor, who was given the seed by a friend in 1976. It's a large, red, beefsteak tomato and is believed to be of Polish origin. It has a lovely flavour, neither sweet nor acid, and its solid flesh makes it perfect for slicing. HSL member Justine Gallaccio says: "Love them; beautiful shape, thin skins, really good flavour." One fruit can provide a meal in itself!
