42-Day Red Tomato - Early Producer - Seeds
Latin name: Lycopersicon esculentum
Oh yes! I found a friend for our subarctic tomato, one that grows just a quick! We have been growing the 42-Day Red Tomato for a few years now and as the name suggests we can call it a very early producer. And, of course, it is the first to die back.
Produces a multitude of fruits without having to pay too much attention to it… Mild flavour. Light red salad to medium size tomato. Resistant to chilly climates (summer 2015 was a very good test!). Crack resistant. Rare variety. Determinate plant.
One of the most popular tomato seeds we sell at Jardin de Julie.
