Wholesale Plant Sales... CURRENTLY SOLD OUT
I am a small local / organic farmer and tomato breeder and have been a professional grower of heirlooms over 12 years, breeding gourmet tomatoes almost as long.
My tomato varieties have been chosen from over 1000 Heirlooms, crosses and hybrids varieties. I have seen a lot of tomatoes.
We are looking for nurseries that want to carry very desirable, rare and over the top tomato varieties.
I have personally bred several dozen tomato varieties in Northern California’s Solano County. My exotic tomato varieties have been raved about by top Bay Area Chefs for many years.
I have developed many shapes, sizes, colors and specialize on striped tomatoes which have been hand selected for flavor. Many of my varieties have done very well for home gardeners even in the challenged Bay Area tomato climates around Oakland and Berkeley.
The varieties that I am offering are listed below in which you will see some Dwarf varieties along with an OSU Blue tomato cross.
The Dwarfs are outstanding, easy to grow, great production and great taste. After trialing almost 100 dwarf varieties I have chosen seven (7) that where absolutely impressive. These shall prove to be a top choice for container gardening, limited space, challenged tomato climates or for anyone who wants to get a lot of quality tomatoes for less effort.
Indigo Apple is a rare OSU Blue cross selected five (5) generations for color and taste. This tomato has supreme shock value. Thank you PKS Heirlooms for the original cross! The unripe green fruit will show lots of purple, which is brought on by the sunlight, will eventually turn almost a true black. This is caused by the high anthocyanin level (antioxidant found in blueberries). This tomato has a good sweet tomato flavor. I am one of three people in the world with this particular F-5 cross. These are $1.00 extra per plant and are LIMITED.
We have a 500 plant minimum, 25 plants per variety minimum, and can deliver between April 1, 2012 through May 5, 2012, provided we receive the order before the second week in February, 2012. With larger orders, 1,000 plants or more, we can do two separate deliveries. If your nursery orders 1,000 or more plants I will include a one (1) hour tomato class from expert tomato grower, breeder… Me. J
