Vegetable
Moneymaker
B tier
Moneymaker is a classic British greenhouse and allotment round tomato—reliable setter, medium red fruits, balanced rather than flashy flavour—named for dependable yields. It represents the mid-century standard salad tomato: smooth, uniform, and productive under glass. Modern taste trends sometimes call it ordinary next to heirlooms, yet good ripe Moneymakers still make honest sandwiches and grilled breakfasts. Use as an all-purpose fresh tomato: salads, frying, and light sauces. Pick fully coloured for best flavour; underripe fruit is stiff and dull. A teaching cultivar for consistent garden supply.
