Buttrum's Majesty
Has anyone heard of this variety?? I discovered it at the Hamilton Ontario, Farmers Market. It is a variety sold by Buttrum's Farms, which has been in the area since the turn of the 20th century. According to the vendor it has been grown by the Buttrum family since they started farming.
The tomato is a medium to large round/beefstake red. Flavour, this year, which has been very wet in southern Ontario, is somewhat sweet and a bit bland. Alex
