Wild Galapagos Tomato - (Solanum cheesmaniae) |
|
|
This is one of two wild tomato species endemic to the Galapagos. This small grape sized yellow-orange tomato was found growing right along the seafront, just feet from the ocean in rocky, exposed and in almost soilless conditions. The fruit is intensely sweet, salty and complex and resistant to many tomato pests. We found that the flavor of many other small-fruited tomato varieties paled by comparison. Certified Organic.
Indeterminate.
70 days.
Approx 45 seeds per packet.

very wild |
| This tomato will sow itself. One fruit left behind after the first frost will be sure to start a new crop next year. One plant spreads over a very large area, and is truly wild - you have to work hard to keep up with it. It seems to grow as you watch, and keeps producing tomatoes until the first frost kills the plant. |
