Wild Boar Farms rare breed tomato SEED SALES - PAGE 1

I grew a half dozen different Wild Boar varieties in my Berkeley garden in 2009 and they performed exceptionally well-- vigorous plants, with some unusual colors and shapes and excellent flavor. --Michael Pollan

 

BLACK & BROWN BOAR

BLACK AND BROWN BOAR: One of my first varieties.  Discovered in Green Zebra patch years about ten years ago.  This looks like a Black Zebra, slightly larger with some lobes. Mid-early to early. 65-75 days.  Indet. regular leaf.  Pumps out 3-4" fruit like crazy. Aggressive grower and producer.  Great flavor, dark earthy tones of rich tomato.  Origin-Green Zebra= Thanks again Tom Wagner.

BERKELEY TIE-DYE HEART

BERKELEY TIE-DYE HEART:  About as far as I have gotten from a round, red, tasteless tomato.  Strong assertive flavor of Berkeley Tie-Dye with super dense meaty flesh.  Mid season, 75-85 days.  Indet. wispy droopy leaf.  Good to outstanding production.  Wispy droopy leaves look like they need water when they sometimes don't. Wilt leaf gene is common in heart tomatoes.  Several shapes of same plant, ranging from blocky-round to long slender hearts.  Outstanding assertive tomato flavor.  Very meaty with almost no juice.  Mutation from Berkeley Tie-Dye.

LARGE BARRED BOAR

LARGE BARRED BOAR:  Early to mid-early.  Like most dark tomatoes, this is one of my first ripe tomatoes each season. 65-75 days.  Indet. regular leaf, grows fairly stocky and not as tall as most indet.  8-12 oz. flattened med.  beefsteak fruit. Very meaty. Good to very good production. Good choice for marginal tomato climates.  Pink brown with metallic green stripes. Very meaty pink flesh that is very flavorful.  Originated from F-2 Black and Brown Boar.  The only large tomato in a row of 200.  First large striped tomato I had ever seen at the time.

RED BOAR

RED BOAR  Red colored mutation I discovered from Green Zebra. Not related to other red striped tomatoes on the market, some of wich are not edible to me, this one has won taste contests.  Another top notch performer in the looks, taste, production department.  Mid season, 70-75 days. indet. regular leaf. 2-4 oz. good to very good producer.  Amazing yellow red stripes, great producer, winner if you want a smaller, juicey sweet tomato.
