History

  • Jim Frick of Delaware ('bigdaddy') grew Orange Minsk tomato in 2010, and he observed two shapes on the same plants - hearts and beefsteaks (see [1]). He saved seeds from heart-shaped fruits and sent it to Carolyn Male. In the subsequent growouts, this shape variation appeared to be stable.
  • Carolyn distributed seeds to Tomatoville members in her annual seed offer in January 2013.
  • First offered in the Seed Savers 2013 Yearbook by Carolyn Male of Salem, New York (NY MA C), who was given the seed by Jim Frick of Delaware in 2011.
