PA SE P
- 1/8 L. pimpinellifolium, with L. peruvianum expressions from the OSU in its ancestry, this cultivar expresses phenotypes from at least 3 parent species. The flavor is good especially for an anthocyanin line. production is decent. Will segregate into dwarf and non-dwarf plants. plant vigor is high as is disease resistance. The fruit have longer shelf life than any RIN tomato, easily over a month, often over two months if left unmolested in open air, yet retain a normal tomato texture. Strong anthocyanin expression in both the fruit and the plant tissues.
