Barlow Jap tomato seeds non-gmo heirloom open pollinated SUPER DELICIOUS 25

Description: Barlow Jap tomato seeds, heirloom, open-pollinated, non-gmo. 25 seeds per packet. Barlow Jap has fantastic flavor, is BIG, red, and round. It has performed amazingly well for me in the high desert frontier at 4100 feet. My growing season is sometimes very long (May-November) and other years it can end in early September. No matter, this variety puts on a ton of fruit and does very well regardless of length of season. Great flavor! DetailsRed flesh, clear skin, globe shaped, medium sized (5-10 oz.) fruits are juicy with an excellent flavor: sweet, fruity and compelling. Indeterminate, healthy, potato leaf vines are moderately productive from 75 days These seeds were originally given to Roy Barlow of Shelbyville, KY by a friend who had smuggled them out of Japan following World War II. Roy planted the seeds each year after that. The variety, which started out as a “straggly looking weed” was developed into a healthy, disease resistant potato leaf plant. The tomatoes were so tasty, they became the main crop in his produce business. Mr. Barlow just called them his “Jap” tomatoes. His granddaughter, Brita Barlow, has been saving the seeds of this variety to keep his legacy alive. This tomato is a worthy legacy! Large meaty pinks, with an outstanding flavor. Brita calls them “the taste of summer.” GROW 'EM ONCE AND YOU'LL BE HOOKED TOO! At Frontier Farms, we specialize in many varieties of Heirloom tomatoes, peppers, plus many other vegetable varieties. WHAT IS AN HEIRLOOM? Heirloom plants are grown from seeds that have been handed down thru generations, saved from year to year, some varieties dating back hundreds of years. Many made the migration from Europe and the East with the immigrants coming to the USA. The seeds are never cross pollinated and so they remain true to their particular characteristics. Heirloom tomatoes come in all colors, shapes, and sizes – Reds, Pinks, Yellows, Orange, White, Green, Striped, and Black. Ranging in sizes of cherry and grape to large grapefruit size, meaty, or juicy. WHY HEIRLOOM? These tomatoes are more natural, they are non GMO (genetically modified). They do not have as long of a shelf life as store bought tomatoes, but that is what makes them special. They have a real fantastic tomato flavor not found in grocery store offerings. These tomatoes are indeterminate (they grow all season, they flower all season and they produce tomatoes all season. They don’t stop until frost. Once heirloom tomatoes are picked, they do not have a long shelf life as hybrids but they more than make up for any shortcomings in flavor.Please see my other listings and my store for more great varieties and thank you!
