Persimmon Tomatoes
This treasured heirloom features striking persimmon-orange color and perfectly round, medium to large fruits with smooth skin. Originating in Russia's fertile growing regions in the late 19th century, it traveled to America with Russian immigrants who valued its sweet, low-acid taste and productivity.
Historically cultivated in Russian dacha gardens, the Persimmon Tomato thrives in cooler, shorter growing seasons while still producing abundant harvests. The crack-resistant fruits (8-12 oz) grow on indeterminate vines that continue bearing throughout the season.
Exceptional for fresh eating while also making beautiful golden sauce and preserves, this variety represents the rich tradition of Russian tomato breeding. (Order Includes 20 Seeds)
