Heirloom Tomatoes 2020


Here is a list of tomatoes I'm growing this year

Alladin's Lamp 
Sweet, smooth and aromatic, this tomato will blow you away with its beauty. Vines are very hardy and produce plenty of deep yellow, ruffled pear-shaped fruits that ripen in about 80 days after transplant. Think sauces and salsas.
Ananas Noir
multi-colored beefsteak tomatoes, characterized by their large size and slightly flattened globe shape with ridges. Their skin ripens to a dark purple-red with a green blush and green shoulders, and their flesh has beautiful and distinctive streaked patterns of pink, red, green and yellow.

Aunt Ruby's German Green
One of the largest green beefsteaks. Can grow to over 1 pound and are just delicious. They have brilliant, neon-green flesh with a strong, sweet, and fruity flavor, much tastier than most red tomato


Aviuri
Aviuri originated in Russia about 25 years ago. It is a bright red tomato with vivid gold striping. I have found it to be much more vigorous than other 'tiger-striped' tomatoes I have grown. The five foot plants bear fairly early and the fruit is dense with fine texture and lots of flavor. They look absolutely beautiful in a mixed basket of tomatoes. Definitely worth a try.

Banded Amazon
Beautiful, dwarf-type variety developed by ‘J&L Gardens Seeds’. Determinate, regular leaf and compact plant, about 2 1/2 feet tall, produces heavy yield of 8-10 oz., beautiful mahogany-red fruits with dark green striping and delicious, rich flavors

Black Amber
Dark purple medium sized flattened and heavily ribbed fruit. Distinct -vinous taste-similar to Purple Calabash. Delicious.Superb and productive flattened purple fruit.

Black Cherry
Another favourite! Black Cherry Heirloom Cherry Tomatoes grow on 6 foot plants sporting 1-2” fruit that are just so rich with black-fleshed tomato flavour.


Black Giant
Big, purple-black fruit are a favorite of seed collectors, who rave about this one's fantastic flavor! The dark, globe fruit weigh 6-14 oz and are borne on highly productive vines that start producing fairly early. These have a wonderful taste; the perfect blend of acid and sugars makes this one really stand out; highly delicious

Black Krim
Black Krim Heirloom Tomatoes are a  rare purple-black tomato and is one of the best tasting you will ever try. Originally from the Isle of Krim in the Black Sea of the former Soviet Union. The dark, three inch fruit have a fantastic and intense taste perfect for anything that calls for a tomato.

Blanche du Quebec
Short compact plant produces good yields of 1 to 4 oz pale yellow tomato. Perfect for salads and garnishes. Excellent choice for home gardens. Suitable for container gardening. Cold Tolerant.

Blue Beauty
Fruit is modest beefsteak-type slicers, weighing up to 8 ounces, and the flavor is as good as their outstanding antioxidant content! Gorgeous, deep blue-black shoulders make this unique among slicing types. Excellent potential for market, as the fruit holds well on the vine. Sunburn and crack resistance are a welcome bonus

Blueberry
small cherry variety. Very dark purple color, which means it’s super-rich in anthocyanins. Unripe, the fruits are a glowing amethyst purple. At maturity they turn deep red where the fruit was shaded; the areas that received intense sunshine are a purple so deep it’s almost black! The flavor is intensely fruity, and sugar-sweet! Plants are very productive, yielding all season


Blue Streak
Plant produces good yields of red tomatoes with a bluish crown. Perfect for sandwiches, salads, and slicing. Excellent choice for home gardens


Bogus Fructa
Truly determinate, we were astonished at such abundance from plants that never exceeded 2 feet high! Each red-orange fruit is juicy, mild-flavored and averages four ounces. The plants stay exceedingly compact and upright, making this the perfect variety for containers or gardens with limited space.


Czech Bush
Extremely productive tomato that produces a terrific amount of tomatoes on a dwarf type, sturdy bush. Although a determinate variety, you may need to fortify the tomato cage holding the plant due to the sheer number of fruit that is produced.

Dark Galaxy
Unique, mottled tomato, that looks like something from another planet. 1-3 oz round fruits. Unripe fruit are green with purple anthocyanin stipples and spots. As ripens turns rusty red with spots and flecks

Dwarf Purple Heart
The vigorous, rugose, regular leaf plants are among the most spreading and branching of the dwarf varieties. Producing heavy yields of medium to medium large sized (six to sixteen ounce) heart shaped purple tomatoes. ‘Dwarf Purple Heart’ has deep crimson flesh with a delicious, well-balanced flavor. Although fairly large, the fruits also ripen relatively early.

Dwarf Chocolate Lightning
The vigorous, rugose, regular leaf plants are among the taller growing of the new dwarf varieties. The plants produce excellent yields of medium sized (four to eight ounce) smooth, slightly oblate chocolate colored tomatoes with jagged green and gold stripes. The rich crimson flesh has the intense flavor of black tomatoes but with great balance.

Early Annie
A short determinate heirloom variety that produce high yields of 4 oz., round, meaty fruits with few seeds. Particularly good for canning. Fruit sets all at once. Early Annie is an exceptional tomato combining earliness, productiveness, and beautiful, medium sized, blemish free orange red fruit.


Elberta Peach
Plant produces heavy yields of 3 oz bright orange-red tomatoes striped in gold. They are fuzzy like a peach and resembles the famous Elberta Peach! One of the most beautiful tomatoes you ever seen. 

Eva Purple Ball
This medium-sized tomato is one of our favorites for taste. It combines a rich flavor with beautiful red color and blemish-free skin. The plants are productive and, in our trials, seem to resist most of the common tomato pests

German Red Strawberry
Large, red, oxheart-shaped tomatoes that are shaped like a much larger strawberry. Plants yield an abundance of meaty, 3-inch wide by 3 1/2-inch long fruit that can grow to 1 pound. Shape of tomatoes can be inconsistent. Copious amount of delicious, robust, "old-tomato" flavors with a lingering sweetness. A perfect tomato for slicing into sandwiches.
Green Zebra
One of my favorite tomatoes. Beautiful chartreuse with deep lime-green stripes, very attractive. Flesh is bright green and very rich tasting, sweet with a sharp bite to it (just too good to describe!). A favorite tomato of many high class chefs, specialty markets, and home gardeners. Yield is excellent

Indigo Apple
The medium-sized fruit turns red when ripe, with purple shoulders and streaks. They have a good, sweet tomato flavor. The pendant clusters present a striking appearance in the garden! Resists sunscald and cracking, lasting long into cool autumn weather when others have quit. Shows disease tolerance and great shelf-life.
