| I have planted Glamour in my garden for as long as I can remember. In fact, if I was limited to only one variety, it would be my choice. The fruits are the perfect slicing size, being smaller than a standard beefstake, but larger than most of the traditional varieties. The fruit is attractive, firm, juicy and with the appropriate sweetness and acidity. They are great sandwich and salad tomatoes.
I also like the fruiting formation, which bears evenly spaced fruit along a linear branch opposed to the usual cluster. This makes picking easier and results in less cramped or misshapen tomatoes.
The plants themselves tend to be very solid and robust. I have never grown a flimsy Glamour. |
