A super rare tomato with an amazing history. Nell Bryson was an avid gardener. A housewife, she lived in North Carolina and saving her seeds for her was an essential part of keeping her garden going. She probably saved seeds in her freezer most years, but in 1948 she happened to save one pack of just ten little tomato seeds that for some reason or another wouldn’t see the light of day until 68 years later. Later by accident the seeds were found and revitalized by Bevin Cohen
The Nell Bryson tomato, also known as the Old Carolina Tomato, has two names because its full story is still being uncovered.
It‘s an unusually big tomato. Its fruit can grow to be between 450-700 grams, and unlike most large tomato breeds it doesn’t seem to stop producing after just a few tomatoes have grown. Produce all season right up until the first frost.
Orange and yellow striped tomatoes with a red core. Semi-indeterminate.
