Grower: Kelly

Year: 2015

Accession: 299

Seed Source: Dan McMurray Memorial Seed Bank. Original stock from Dan & Val McMurray's collection.

Comments:

2015 Very low production, lots of blossom drop in high heat, although the plant itself seemed to bounce back pretty well from being burned in the spring. Dry, thick flesh, good tomato flavour. Probably best for preservation. Fruit has a point at the blossom end. Approx 2lb per plant.
