B.C KO T

indet., regular leaf vigorous plants, very large red plum shaped tomatoes, some very fat, and some are slim. 8-12 oz. Matures slightly earlier than Polish Linguisa. The taste is superb, excellent and sweet - I can see why this tomato has been grown and preserved by Francesca for so many years.

History

  • Seeds from Robert Fromm of Royal Oak, Michigan, who got the seeds from his neighbor Francesca. Francesca's husband (Rinaldo) came to America from Italy in 1947 and brought this seed with him, and it has been one of their two favorite tomatoes (along with Ernesto), grown for almost 60 years.
  • First offered in the Seed Savers 2006 Yearbook by Neil Lockhart of Oblong, Illinois (IL LO N).
