ANDREW JAHART JUMBO RED
One of the most delicious of the red tomatoes. Brilliant, scarlet beefsteaks weighing 1-2 pounds each. Very meaty and brimming with rich robust flavour. Highly productive plant. |
 |
ANNA RUSSIAN
Large, juicy, pinkish-red, heart shaped tomatoes weighing around 1 pound each. This high-yielding tomato has sweet, juicy flesh and superb flavour. |
 |
AUNT RUBY'S GERMAN GREEN
A high quality, large-sized green ripe tomato. Fruits grow to over a pound and the skin ripens to a beautiful shiny green colour. Flesh and pulp is green as well, making this a strange and eye-catching tomato for slicing. Taste is great, sweet, with a subtle spiciness. Indeterminate. |
 |
BLACK KRIM
Dark, red-brown fruits that sometimes have green shoulders. Excellent smoky-salty flavour, and a real ‘meaty’ fruit that is very firm and not watery. Great in salads or straight off the vine. From the Crimean Peninsula on the Black Sea. |
 |
CASPIAN PINK
Caspian Pink is an indeterminate variety discovered in Russia near the Caspian sea shortly after the cold war. Produces oblate pink fruit from 1 to 2 pounds in weight. A hardier variety that is well adapted to growing in cooler climates like ours. This is quite possibly the most well known and loved of the Russian tomatoes even being referred to as the “Queen of the Pinks.” |
 |
CHEROKEE CHOCOLATE
This is a beautiful, very large 3” to 5” chocolate-coloured tomato. Considered a rare and endangered variety, it was introduced to this area by Two Wings Farm in Metchosin. It is a very dependable producer of blemish-free, flavourful fruit mid through late season. Indeterminate. |
 |
CHEROKEE PURPLE
A dark pink tomato with dark purple shoulders believed to be over a 100 years old and reportedly grown by the Cherokee Nation. This indeterminate variety sports large fruit that can rival the Brandywine’s not only in size but taste as well. The vine of the Cherokee purple can grow to be 9ft tall and is also noted for producing a larger harvest then the Brandywines. |
 |
CHIANTI ROSE
A potato leaf variety with vines well suited to cooler summer temperatures. Of the large fruited tomatoes the Chianti Rose is one of the most crack resistant and earliest to produce. Though not an overall heavy producer it is certainly worth growing for the delicate flavour. |
 |
LEGEND
A perfect large fruited tomato for the maritime climate of the Pacific Northwest. Bears fruit without the assistance of pollinators making it a very important specimen in your seed collection, not to mention being resistant to late blight. This tomato is a very early producing plant with a determinate habit. |
 |
ORANGE BEEFSTEAK
What a GORGEOUS tomato! We saw it on a friend’s kitchen countertop a few years ago and just had to have it (they kindly gave it to us!). Glossy, large 2 pound fruit with a superb flavour and few seeds. |
 |
PAUL ROBESON BLACK
Originally from central Siberia in Russia (where it is produced commercially) and named after Paul Robeson, who was a famous opera star and advocate of equal rights for Blacks. This tomato has developed something of a cult following among serious tomato lovers and heirloom gardeners due to its prolific and beautiful blackish-red beefsteak-sized fruit. It is a stunningly beautiful tomato and most importantly, has excellent taste. Being an actual Siberian tomato, this is a great cold climate tomato variety that possesses the right characteristics to set fruits at lower temperatures than other types of tomatoes. |
 |
PRUDEN'S PURPLE
The Pruden’s Purple is a variety derived from the famous Brandywine series. This potato leaf vine is suited to hot days and cool nights. Distinguished by cantaloupe-like ridges forming longitudinally around the fruit. |
 |
RED BEEFSTEAK
Needs no greater description – the classic red, meaty beefsteak tomato. The standard choice for all you sandwich and BBQ fiends out there. |
 |
YELLOW BRANDYWINE
One of the best tasting yellow tomatoes, this heirloom variety produces soft, large, flattened fruits that tend to be on the rough side but with an unbeatable juicy, rich, full flavour. This variety requires heat and time to mature completely but is well worth the wait.
|
 |
RED BRANDYWINE
An indeterminate heirloom tomato with large fruit (up to 1 lb). There is much fame behind the “Brandywine” name and many sub-varieties exist. It is said to be an Amish heirloom dating to 1885 and named after the Brandywine creek in Chester County, Pensilvania. The Brandywines are noted for their exceptional taste and productive vines. |
