Tomato 'Delicious'

These plants did not produce nearly as I expected. The size was not very good either. I will not plant this variety again because it tr...Read Moreuly is a waste of space.

Delicious was originally called Burpee Delicious. The Burpee catalog, however, has not carried it in several years. Size-wise, for me, ...Read Morethe fruit was on par with Brandywine (1-2 lbs. each). But the Delicious fruits were lopsided and misshapen. On Brandywine, the stem supporting the heavy fruit is itself heavy (the size of a man’s thumb). On Delicious, the stem is only the size of a lead pencil, not really up to the job. The Delicious yield (pounds of fruit per plant) was not very good. I’m not surprised Burpee dropped it.

All the flavor and taste that I remember as a child when gathered from mother's garden in the 1950's. It was definately named correctly.

This variety came as a huge surprise to me. Produces fruits that are larger than softballs, weigh on average 3-4 pounds each and taste a...Read Mores good as the name suggests. A definite mainstay in my garden.

Great flavor, and early enough for me to get some good production.

Fantastic flavor and production......I've got a couple of monsters and some more averaged sized tomatoes growing on my L. Delcious plants...Read More. I gather if I had removed all but a few we would have had even larger fruit.

This tomato was the bestest I've ever had (I love Sun Gold and Black Cherry but it's wonderful to have such a tasty *tomato flavored* mater for a sandwich). Ü

I will make sure this one is always grown in my garden!

Produced medium sized, attractive round fruit for me, rather than the monsters I've heard about. Flavor was decent, not too strong. Mak...Read Morees a good slicer.

I planted these for a couple of years because they were a fairly early producing tomato, but they weren't my favorite. I prefer a sweeter tomato.

Great 'old fashioned' taste, very good producer of huge red tomatoes. I'll save room for these next year!

Huge reddish-pink tomatos. One slice can easily overlap any sandwich. Plant must be heavily supported as the tomatos have been known to w...Read Moreeigh as much as five pounds. Holds the World's Record !!!

Fruits generally large, with good flavor. Not very early. Good production.

This variety currently holds the world's record for largest tomato: 7+ lbs. If you want to grow a record-setter, this is definitely one to try.
