History

• Discovered in 2009 a patch of Justine tomatoes grown by Tatiana Kouchnareva (B.C KO T) from Mireiile Blais' seed sent to Tatiana in 2006. Justine is a large red plum or bomb-shaped tomato, and this one was definitely not! Although it may not be stable, it is an excellent tomato to grow and stabilize if necessary.
• It may be a cross of Justine tomato with an unknown heart-shaped variety.
