Giant Crimson Tomato
Latin Name:
Solanum Lycopersicum Giant CrimsonThe true Giant Crimson tomato! This super rare variety was lost to extinction for over 45 years whereupon Luke at MIGardener “resurrected” this variety from an 85 year old seed pack he found in a shadow box frame. These seeds came from this source and have been grown in Organic Plant It’s garden. Averaging 8-10 ounces this tomato is a shade of pink/red to deep crimson upon extreme ripeness. Excellent slicer or beefsteak qualities. Help spread and preserve this variety for posterity and seed diversity.
If you haven’t heard of this tomato, don’t feel bad. Most haven’t for over 45 years. It was extinct until sprouted seeds that came from 85-year-old packets.
