Variety characteristics:

• 223 Royal Finger is a highly productive midseason determinate tomato with compact, sturdy plants reaching approximately 3.3–4.6 feet tall. The unusual bright red fruits are exceptionally elongated, ranging from finger-shaped and bottle-shaped to slender pear-shaped. Tomatoes typically measure approximately 3.9–6.7 inches long and weigh about 2.5–4.2 oz, while exceptional fruits may approach 7.9 inches under favorable conditions. Their smooth skin surrounds dense, meaty flesh with thick walls, small seed cavities, and relatively few seeds. Royal Finger combines pronounced sweetness with rich, classic tomato flavor, making it unusually enjoyable for both fresh eating and processing. Provide a short stake or sturdy cage to support the heavy crop, particularly in a greenhouse. Excellent for sauces, ketchup, tomato paste, roasting, drying, canning, preserves, and fresh slicing.
