This wild tomato is native to Andes from Ecuador to Peru in forests at altitude 333-12000 ft ASL. it is sprawling perennial shrubs or vines to 20 ft long, but usually smaller. Flowers very showy 1 inch diameter, golden and the largest flowered in the tomato world! The fruits are edible (in Equador they are pickled with an onion). Fruits are small about .6 inch in diameter, green, hairy (hairs hard and dense), very delicious when fully ripe. Leaves with hairy both surfaces. Plant resistant to powdery mildews, early & late blight, bacterial speck, root-knot nematodes and two species of red spider mite. Also very cold tolerant. Very late flowering and fruiting (short-day flowering). Ripe fruits fall down when ripe. This is a self incompatible variation of wild tomato and needs a pollinator so best to grow in batches of 12 or more plants. This is the perfect root stock variety for grafting! Open pollinated, indeterminate, regular leaf, very late season, green, wild, 100 to 140+ days. LOT# 1 TAG# 328-2023

  • GERMINATION INFO

    Germination Info
    1) Prepare for planting. Sprout tomato seeds in small containers, preferably 4" or smaller. In-ground germination is not recommended. Use a standard potting mix that is well drained. Start seeds in containers approximately 8 weeks prior to the planned set-out date. Plants should ultimately be transplanted to the garden 1-2 weeks after the expected date of last frost.
    2) Plant seeds. Plant seeds 1/4" deep in the soil. Cover with soil and water carefully. Overwatering can cause fungal growth which leads to seed rot. Excess water can also bury seeds deep in the soil where they will not be able break the surface. Water when the soil surface just begins to dry. Multiple seeds can be planted in a single starter container, but should be thinned once seedlings appear so only a single plant remains. Seeds do not require light for germination but some light source should be provided for seedlings once they emerge from the soil.
    3) Germination. Soil should be kept consistently warm, from 70-85F. Cool soils, below about 60-65F, even just at night, will significantly delay or inhibit germination. Hot soils above 95F will also inhibit germination.
    4) Care of seedlings. Once a few true leaves have developed, seedlings should be slowly moved outside (if sprouted indoors) to ambient light. Care should be taken not to expose seedlings to direct, scorching sun so plants may need to be hardened off via slow sun exposure. Hardening off can be done using a shaded or filtered light location, as well as protection from strong winds, rain or low humidity. Hardening off time varies, but can take 5-10 days.
    5) Planting out. Plant in the ground once danger of frost has past and daytime temperatures consistently reach 65F. Plants can be spaced as close as 24" apart. Germination time: 1-3 weeks under ideal conditions.
