Royal Bold F1 is a robust, determinate hybrid tomato from Harvest Field Seeds. It is listed with good disease resistance, including tolerance to fusarium and verticillium wilt, and gives quality fruit for fresh sale, cooking and paste. Determinate plants stay compact and set fruit over a shorter period, which makes spraying and harvest easier. Fruit is usually ready about 60-70 days after transplanting, and it can be grown in both the rainy and dry seasons.

Frequently asked questions
Is Royal Bold F1 good for the rainy season?
Yes. It is described as suitable for both seasons. In the rains, use raised beds, good spacing and a fungicide programme to limit blight.
What does determinate mean?
The plant grows to a fixed height and sets most of its fruit over a few weeks. It needs less pruning and less tall staking than indeterminate types.
Can I replant seeds from Royal Bold tomatoes?
No. It is an F1 hybrid; saved seed gives mixed plants and lower yield. Buy fresh seed each season.
