Newly Discovered Heirloom Currant Tomato

[Spartanburg123]

It is a wonderful variety! Although small and wispy at the start, this plant turns into a sprawling monster of a thing that ideally likes fencing. Productivity is just prodigious. Flavor is tart and snappy for little salad tomatoes, about the size of chick peas. I've included a few pictures from last year below . Thank you Nan for making this one known!

I wish great success for this new to us currant. The first year for red currant in my garden was a small barely producing odd tomato plant covered with tiny cherry tomatos. Nice for snacking as I walked by, but it was not one to regrow.

Then the next year, the volunteers sprouted ALL over. THese self seeded plants grew fast and was ready for picking the same time as the others.... granted all the tomatos were late last year.

THese plants were small because the soil is poor-- drains too fast, lacks humus, sandy.

I have a new respect for currant tomatos!

Looking forward to getting these in future years.

Nan-- I dont consider myself capable of handling these precious few seeds.....

Aw, come on, Krim, you know you want to try it... It grows like a weed, tastes great and produces like nobody's business. This offer is still open, and I've now got fresh 2017 seeds. Want some? PM me.
