Heirloom Tomato Grosse Lisse Seeds
Grosse Lisse is one of the most well-loved and trusted tomato varieties in the world.
An old Australian favorite, it has medium to large, globe-shaped, deep red fruit with a great flavour. It produces abundantly over a long period. It is an indeterminate (climbing) type so requires staking. It also grows very tall and it is best with some pruning of early side-shoots. Try to develop just 2 main leaders. If too many leaders are kept, fruit size will be reduced.
