Giant Crimson Tomato
This is a very very rare tomato. Because of this we can only offer 5 seeds per packet.
Indeterminate. Plants produce decent amounts of tomatoes with a pink/red hue when fully ripe. Mature tomatoes will weigh around 8 - 10 ounces and sometimes close to one pound. The fruit is a bit of beefsteak with meatiness, but with the juiciness of a slicer. Seeds are medium size but few.
If you haven’t heard of this tomato, don’t feel bad. Most haven’t for over 45 years. It was extinct until we sprouted seeds that came from 85-year-old packets.
Two germinated, and 1 survived; we produced cuttings, saved seeds, and continued the process. It isn’t about the money as much as the story behind this variety, the journey it took to get here, and the mission to preserve genetic diversity in seeds!
You all will get to be a part of the history of bringing this back to the home garden where it was intended to be 85 years ago!
