Description
Solanum lycopersicum
She's long set the standard for reliable, round, red slicers!
INDETERMINATE. This reliable slicer sets loads of midsized fruits even in hot weather, making it an excellent variety for areas with hot-dry summers. Great balance of sweet, acid, and earthy flavor in this old-timey variety.
Tomatoes are native to northwestern South America and by at least 500 BC they had been domesticated and were being cultivated as far north as modern-day Mexico, enjoyed by Aztec and other civilizations. They spread to Europe and the Caribbean through the Spanish colonizers, where they became staple parts of the food culture in many European countries as well.
