Arbuznyi Tomato - Seeds
Latin name: Lycopersicon esculentum
The Arbuznyi is a wonderful thin-skinned tomato with a rich, slightly sweet taste.
An old Russian black tomato variety, it's a rather early producer, putting out large flattened fruit that turn from light red to dark chocolate brown with dark green stripes across the collar. Very productive variety, just as I like them: +3lbs per plant in the summer of 2015 (very cold and rainy)!
Resistant to cold weather conditions and cracking in case of heavy rain. Excellent fresh, cooked and in sauces. Rare variety. Indeterminate.
