Description

The Díví Prs is a stunning heirloom variety of tomato hailing from the Czech Republic. If you’re looking for a tomato that balances visual flair with a classic “old-school” flavour profile, this is a top-tier contender for your garden.

This is a cordon (indeterminate) variety known for its prolific yields and distinctive shape. Unlike perfectly round supermarket tomatoes, these fruits are plum-shaped with a characteristic pointed “nipple” at the blossom end.

  • Appearance: Striking, vibrant orange-gold skin. The flesh is firm, meaty, and contains relatively few seeds.

  • Flavour: Exceptionally well-balanced. It avoids the watery blandness of many large tomatoes, offering a rich, sweet-yet-tangy citrus finish.

  • Texture: Dense and “pastier” than a cherry tomato, making it highly versatile in the kitchen.

Growing Tips for the UK Climate

While the UK’s weather can be “unpredictable” (to put it politely), Díví Prs is relatively hardy having been bred in Czechia. However, it still appreciates the best spot in the house.

  • The Sunny Spot: These tomatoes need a high “thermal sum” to develop their sugars. A greenhouse or polytunnel is ideal, but they will thrive against a south-facing wall in a large pot if you’re in the southern half of the UK.

  • Support & Pruning: As a cordon variety, it will grow tall (up to 2m). Use a sturdy stake and pinch out the side shoots (the little growth between the main stem and the leaf) to focus energy on the fruit trusses.

  • Watering Consistency: To prevent the skins from splitting or developing blossom end rot, keep a consistent watering schedule. Avoid the “drought then deluge” cycle.

Culinary Usage

Because of its meaty texture and low seed count, Díví Prs is a “dual-purpose” tomato.

  1. Fresh: Slice them into a Caprese salad. The orange hue looks incredible paired with white mozzarella and green basil.

  2. Roasted: Their density makes them perfect for roasting. They don’t collapse into a puddle; instead, they caramelize beautifully.

  3. Sauces: If you want a vibrant, golden pasta sauce that isn’t overly acidic, this is your secret weapon.

Pro Tip: Pick them when they are fully orange but still slightly firm to the touch for the best shelf life and flavor balance.
