DoT’s Thot:

Neves Azorean Red Tomato Characteristics

Neves Azorean Red Tomato is an indeterminate tomato plant (I) which is reputed to yield 1 to 3 pound fruit. The tomatoes are a deep red and very beautiful. In my southern California garden, these tomatoes proved to be a late season heirloom beefsteak tomato. The seedling for this tomato went into the ground in late March and I harvested my first four Azorean Red tomatoes on July 16, 2009.

Neves Azorean Red Heirloom Beefsteak Tomato Review

This heirloom beefsteak tomato slices up into a beautiful presentation and had a full, rich flavor. The deep red color is very attractive. My tomatoes did not achieve the large size that this tomato is reputed to have, but yielded a nice collection of tomatoes. There were more tomatoes ripening on the vine and still growing in size, but I had to leave my tomato crop late in July to come to Hawaii to help my mother through some medical issues. I wish to plant Neves Azorean Red Tomato again, since late season tomatoes give me an extended season with the tomatoes that I love so much.

Bottom Line: Neves Azorean Red Tomato

This tomato is on my plant again list, as I wish to have some nice red tomatoes toward the end of the season and an heirloom beefsteak tomato like this would be very welcome in my kitchen. My recommendation to self is to prune, watch the fertilization and try for larger fruit next year.
