Seed source with no cross-pollination delivering to Germany?

MarcVillet · February 5, 2022

Hello,

I live in Germany and I am looking for a good tomato seed source.

It would be very important for me that the seeds are grown protected so there is no risk of cross-pollination.

I already know "Secretseedcartel" and I've always had good experiences with "Renaissancefarms"too but some varieties are not offered there and I am still looking for someone with no risk of cross-pollination who would deliver to Germany.

It is more meant to be a general question to have more opportunities to get safe seeds.

Anyway I do own strains like for example Brandywine Sudduth's, Rebel Yell, Earl's Faux and Stump of the World but sadly I have the feeling that they're cross-pollinated.

I sowed these last year and got both regular leaves and potato leaves from the same seed batch.

So I'm just looking for a trustworthy source where I can get real seeds of various interesting varieties.

Thanks in advance for the effort!

I rather doubt you're going to find many seed vendors that bag their tomato blooms. (I'm not aware of any at this time.) Too time intensive not to mention the cost involved.

If you can find someone that grows exclusively in a greenhouse the chances of cross pollination would be less.
