About Cherven Gigant (Bulgarian Cherven Gigant, Bulgarian Red Giant, Red Giant, Червен Гигант Български Червен Гигант, Giganti Bulgaresti)
‘Cherven Gigant’ is a crimson-colored open-pollinated commercial variety from Bulgaria that can grow to huge proportions.
High yields of large to extra-large (18-53oz./500-1500g) intensely red and slightly ribbed beefsteaks, borne on indeterminate vines with regular leaf foliage. The flesh of the fruit is smooth and juicy, with a well-balanced, sweet, old-fashioned flavor and a powerful aroma. An excellent choice for salads, ketchup, tomato puree, and Bulgarian chutney. The enormous fruit ripens late in the season, about 90-95 days after transplant.
