History

  •  ?
  • First offered in the Seed Savers 2001 Yearbook by Seed Savers Heritage Farm, Decorah, Iowa (IA SSE HF), who received seed from Ben Quisenberry of Ohio (OH QU B).
  • SSE TOMATO 329.
  • Likely closely related to Big Ben. It is unclear how Seed Savers Heritage Farm, Decorah, Iowa (IA SSE HF) got the different variants of Big Ben and labelled them No.1 and No.2. Descriptions seem to be very similar to Big Ben.
  • Introduced commercially by Tatiana's TOMATObase Seeds in 2016.
