History

• There is some conflicting information about this variety:
• According to Sand Hill Preservation Center , this is a "paste tomato, pale-red flesh, above average yield". Seed was obtained from a Canadian seed trader who received the seed from a woman in Russia. There is also a 'Marina A' variant.
• Other source indicates that this is a dehybridized version of the paste F1 hybrid Marina F1 that was bred and vended by Sakata Seed America. The selection and de-hybridization was done by Canadian Seed savers Dan and Val McMurray of Wynndel, BC, Canada in the early 2000s.
• In fact, the seeds for this tomato, along with Marina A seeds, were obtained by Denise Salmon of Vancouver, BC, Canada, from a woman Marina in Romania in a seed trade in the late 1990s/early 2000s.
