Organic Listing
Indeterminate. Regular leaf. Clusters of med. flattened semi-lobed red fruit weighing about 6 oz. Taste is savory with a slight tartness. Its skin is soft and thin, and tends to “melt” when fully ripe. ‘Maramande’ is named after a city in the southwest of France. It was originally grown in the city’s surrounding country and is reported to have found popularity after the blight of 1870. The blight devastated vineyards in southern France and prompted tomato cultivation instead. The second-earliest red tomato I grew in '99 of 20 vars. 67 days.
