Description
A tomato plant that came up against all the odds from a discarded lot of mixed tomato seeds a few seasons ago. This one tomato plant grew through a psyllid infestation in my other tomatoes (I’m not saying this one won’t suffer psyllid, but the original plant never got even one insect on it even though other tomatoes had psyllid about 5m away). It also never got mildew, or blight of any sorts, grew phenomenally long and stupendously productive vines. Beautiful trusses of plum shaped tomatoes with a distinct pointy end made me think it was a relative of the Mt Vesuvius tomato. These tomatoes sure behaved like those – ripening long after trusses were picked, keeping for very long before getting soft or rotten, and when roasted had an incredible deep rich tomato flavour. Not fabulous fresh eating, a bit dry. As I had no idea of the actual parentage of this one (from a mixed lot of seeds), I took the liberty of renaming this particular plant Tomatonoli (Tomato from the Tonolis) 🙂
