Seed Source: Purchased from Seedy Saturday, Nelson, BC (2009).
Comments:
2009 Extremely unique flavour, which is the real prize of this tomato. A rich, complex mix of acid, sweet, and earthy. This tomato reminds me of a flavour you'd find with a good-quality black tomato. Definitely an easier one to cage than stake. Later season.
