| Numbers of days are counted from transplant of 6-9 weeks old plants until it’s time to start harvest. I never cut the top of the plants and the height are from plants that have grown freely and been properly prune. The length of leafs is a finger point of how close you can plant the tomatoes in a row, if the leafs are 30 cm you could plant the tomatoes with 30 cm between the plants in a row, if you cut of all suckers properly. The information height, length and number of days are only for plants that are grown outside in healthy good soil. If you grow tomatoes in a greenhouse the result will be different, the temperature are higher day/night, the plant get more water, fertilizer etc, and the tomatoes usually have less taste. A tomato strain that grow to 140 cm outdoors could in a greenhouse grow over 200 cm. Big beef tomatoes grow faster in a greenhouse and mostly have another shape than tomatoes grown outside. The colour on dark (black) tomatoes usually gets a lighter colour in a greenhouse; they got darker and have more taste if they are grown outside. If you sit behind a window you probably not get so much colour from the sun. The growing result depends of which growing technique you use. All information of each plant is how they develops for me, grown outside in Sweden in zone 3 (ca USDA zone 5). |

Broad ripple yellow currant |

A little spindly ca 170 cm high plant with thin ca 24-30 cm long and 20 cm wide leafs. This plant doesn’t take much room and can be planted quite close together in a row. Tomatoes that look like small yellow gooseberries grow in small short trusses with 10 on each. Every plant could produce a lot of small firm tasty tomatoes. A perfect strain to us as garnish in a meaty salad etc. Try too warm them quickly in little olive oil, add little sea salt and eat them as they are. But probably don’t many of these tomatoes find there way in to the kitchen, they disappear easily in the mouth every time you walk by the plant. In the picture on the left the tomato are in front of a Golden Ponderosa tomato. John Hartman introduces this strain. |
