Enlongated red from france. Great for canning about 12oz

This was the latest to ripen in 2011 but the number of fruit over a pound were worth waiting for.

Interesting medium greenish-yellow with good taste but very juicy. Takes awhile to figure out when to pick it at its peak since shelf life was short.

impressive yield of classic red tomatoes. Indeterminate. leave Cheetam's tomatoes on the vine until they are dead ripe and rather dark red before picking, they do have a rather nice semi sweet flavor, I discovered this accidentally , as on previous years when I have grown them I have always picked them when they were just ripe or getting ripe etc, and at that stage they are only moderate in flavor. Large cherry type to saladette. // Michael Johnson wrote at Gw: "Cheetham's Potato leaf- is a very old English variety-dating back to the thirties or forties time, and up until I obtained some for myself, it was only available from the English seed savers society as a bit of a rarity in their Heritage seed Library. The info given by Ventmarin is wrong, in many respects, The trusses of tomatoes average eight to nine tomatoes to a truss of good salad size medium tomatoes-not 3 or 4, the colour is not red, but in fact a deep salmon pink, leaning more to the orangy side of the salmon colour, flavour is quite acceptable and good but a bit on the mild side and could do with being a bit stronger, It is a massive producer and sets practicaly every flower all the way up the stem and will go on setting flowers all the way until the first frosts, it is probably the heaviest producer ever, and in my case I had to triple stake it with a tripod of stakes to support the weight of the fruit as it kept trying to slide back down the single stake no matter how tight I tied it in. I should say in ideal weather and climate it would easily set thirty or forty pounds of tomatoes or more per plant,quite honestly I have never seen a tomato perform like it, and so easy too- it would probable reach ten foot high or more if there was no frost in late season.

This is a nameless variety grown in Chennai, India, where it is always hot. It is strictly for soups or puree. Quite juicy and acidic but thin meat portions are as near to tomato rubber as anything else. Determinate, 3' tall, and 2” fruit which are orange-red. Early producer, grows well in super high heat 108 degrees., 4-5 per cluster. semi hollow like a stuffing tomato, med acid.
