Tomato (Rose de Cagnolle Tomato)

Rose de Cagnolle Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) This early producing pink tomato is a rare heirloom variety from France that was bred on the Cagnolle Farm in the Dordogne region between the Loire Valley and Pyrenees Mountains. The fruits are heart-shaped with pink flesh and few seeds. The flavor is sweet with hints of minerals and medium acid. The fruits average around 8 oz. and the plants are vigorous producers. Our plants average 25-30 fruits each. (Indeterminate) Origin: We received the parent seed of Rose de Cagnolle from our friend Valéry Tsimba while we were visiting her in Paris. Valéry is a Master Gardener and the author of the excellent book, "Container Gardening -The Permaculture Way" which is now available in English on Amazon.  (Approximately 15 seeds per packet) Germination rate: 95% - tested 10/17/24 Planting Instructions: We recommend starting tomato seeds indoors in a bright and warm location 4 to 6 weeks before last frost date in spring.
