Default Seed Packs


Hi Rena,
LEFT seed packet:
lrg. red text (name of the variety): hoomu momotarou (Home Momotarou)
blue text: Easy to grow, sweet tomato meant for the home garden
This is the home version of Sakata Seeds' momotarou. I don't know which of the 9 is currently being sold in the US. It will produce 200-220g (7- 7 3/4oz) pink fruit.
On the back of every seed packet in Japan it will tell you where the seeds come from and for this variety Thailand.

MIDDLE:
lrg. red text (name of the variety):furuuti bimi (Fruity Deliciousness)
blue text: A fruit like sweetness, delicious mini tomato. I am not familiar with this variety.
This seed comes from India.

RIGHT:
lrg. red text (name of the variety):minikyaroru (Mini Carrol)
blue text:Sweeeet, delicious deep red, small cherry tomato.
If memory serves me correct, this is one of three in Sakata Seeds' Carrol cherry tomato group; the other two are a yellow and a regular sized cherry tomato. I grew the yellow version a number of years ago and found it had a typical sweet cherry tomato taste to it. This seed comes from Thailand.

Great info, thanks!

At least you can get Momotaro in the US.

Hi rena,
Yup, all are hybrids.
As a side note, this is the first time that I have seen (Japanese hybrid) tomato seed produced in India, usually it is Thailand. Perhaps Thailand is just becoming too expensive to produce the crosses.
The seed for other vegetables (leafy greens) I have seen sourced locally (Japan) and Chile.
