Variety characteristics:

• 866 Cygnus Giant Tomato is a midseason indeterminate tomato variety with strong, vigorous growth and a powerful stem. It produces large, mostly round red beefsteak fruits that can exceed 2.2 lb under good conditions. The fruits are fleshy, meaty, and contain very few seeds, with excellent flavor and strong eating quality. This is a highly productive variety, ideal for growers who want oversized red heirloom-style tomatoes for slicing, sandwiches, and fresh market use. Originally created by Dale Thurber and named after the star KYCygni in the constellation Cygnus, this variety combines impressive size, good yield, and classic big tomato appeal.
