Key Characteristics:

  • Dwarf/Compact Growth: 'Betalux' is a determinate, mini-dwarf tomato variety.This means it has a compact, bushy growth habit, typically reaching a height of 40cm-60cm. This makes it excellent for:

    • Smaller gardens

    • Container growing

    • Pots on balconies or patios

    • Windowsill cultivation

  • Sturdy Stems: A significant advantage of 'Betalux' is its strong, sturdy stems, which generally don't require extensive staking or support.

  • Fruit Appearance and Taste:

    • Colour: The fruits are typically dark red or bright red when ripe

    • Shape: They are generally round to oblate (slightly flattened)

    • Size: Medium-sized tomatoes, weighing around 80-120 grams per fruit

    • Flesh: Fleshy, with a small portion of seed jelly

    • Taste: Well-balanced, pleasantly sweet, and fruity tomato flavour

  • Productivity: It's a very productive variety, yielding abundant harvests for its size

  • Disease Resistance: 'Betalux' tomatoes generally have good resistance to common tomato diseases, which contributes to its ease of cultivation, even for less experienced gardeners.

It's a fantastic choice for anyone looking for an easy-to-grow, productive, and delicious red tomato, especially if space is a consideration.
