Medium sized red heritage tomato on an indeterminate plant.
Description
From the 2018 Seed Swap.
A cultivar maintained by the Heritage Seed Library, and that’s all I can find on the web, no information as to where it comes from or anything.
These started ripening in August 2019. My problem is that 2019 is being a bad year for tomatoes so I don’t know how they would compare in quantity with other similar standard red tomatoes (Ailsa Craig, Alicante, etc.) so its difficult to determine whether they are better or worse. From a flavour perspective, they’re “OK” nothing particularly special.
2024: Very strange this year just a single mis-shapen tomato which didn’t have any seeds or taste of anything. Difficult to really want to make the effort again.
