Description
Solanum lycopersicum
The competition is fierce for best cherry tomato… these gems always vie for first prize!
INDETERMINATE. This delicious variety purportedly originated as a sport in one of famed tomato preservationist Carolyn Male’s garden. We’re so glad it did, and that it’s been passed between seed savers ever since…it’s SO tasty! In our strain, pale yellow fruits vary from oval to round to pear-shaped, but all have the same complex sweet, and salty flavor that lingers on the tongue. We cannot recommend this variety enough—it’s not summer without Dr. Carolyn tomatoes!
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.
