B.C KO T

indet., regular leaf, one surviving plants produced yellow small round saladette fruit, which does not match the description of this tomato. It is not clear whether this is a cross or a stray seed yet, and for the time being I gave it a working name Perestroika Yellow. Very good flavor, sweet and tangy at the same time.

B.C GI K

80/85 days, regular leaf, indeterminate. Plant has distinct weeping/wispy foliage. Really good yield of large meaty plum fruit, no green shouldering. Fruit was approximately 200gr, 3" in diameter and 4.5" long. Nice flavour, very reliable production. This is obviously not the same variety so many others detail as 'Perestroika' - may have been a stabilized natural cross. 8lbs/plant.

Seed source:

Seedy Saturday, Nelson, BC.

Year grown: 2014

Location: Edmonton, AB
