Cancelmo Family Heirloom

VEGETABLES / TOMATO
PINK-PURPLE
Modified slightly from Victory Seed Company: 90 days, indeterminate — The regular leaf plants produce five to sixteen ounce, pointy, heart-shaped, fruits that are pink in color. Similar in appearance to 'Anna Russian', with a mild, smooth, balanced, though slightly tangy, flavor. Most of its fruit are big, beautiful, and nice for slicing. They are also excellent for canning. This variety was sent to Victory Seeds by Craig LeHoullier (NC LE C) in 2017. Craig received the seeds from Walt Swokla (Connecticut). Mr. Swokla recounts: "My Grandmother brought [the seeds] over to America from Popoli [Italy] in 1917. My Grandma passed in 1978, and she stopped gardening in the late 60's. I found the frozen seeds (circa 11/2002) when cleaning out the freezer after my Father passed in 2013. My Mother died from Alzhei-mer's in 2007 and kept a garden until approximately 2002.” For more info, visit: https://www.victoryseeds.com/tomato_cancelmo-family-heirloom.html Seed saved in 2022 from 26 plants.
