Nevis Azorean Red AKA NAR. Antonio Neves and his family immigrated from the Azores and settled in the Boston area. They brought with them their prized family heirloom tomato seeds. He grew out his favorite variety and kept selecting the seeds to develop a larger sized tomato. What resulted was the wonderful, and now very popular, Neves Azorean Red. Indeterminate, regular-leaf tomato plants with a large central stem produce moderate to heavy yields of huge, 1-3 pound, deep-red, beefsteak tomatoes with terrific, bold, complex flavors. This could be the the ultimate tomato sandwich or to showcase in a special tomato salad. This tomato packs such a wonderful flavor punch you will want to keep it as one of your favored tomato varieties to grow each year. Great disease resistance and produces till frost.
