History

• Made available in the mid 1990s by Simpson's Seeds, UK. It supposedly had been found growing in the grounds of the summer Palace in the Russian capital of one of the Czars many years ago, seed might have been dropped from a sandwich of one of the many tourists who visit there and it was a volunteer plant.
• Introduced commercially in North America by Tatiana's TOMATObase Seeds in 2015.
