Auria

Midseason

Determinate            Reg. Leaf

This Ukrainian tomato has the most interesting shape, a cut on the blossom end of 3-4” long fruits.  While the shape is definitely phallic, the meaty texture with little juice make it an excellent choice for drying or sauce making.

Bonsai

Midseason

Dwarf Indet           Reg. Leaf

You will be amazed by how such a small plant, 18”  (40 cm) tall, can produce such large fruit.  The fruit itself are so very solid-.  While it is juicier than your average paste tomato the sweet taste make it an excellent choice for an all purpose tomato.

Cuore del Drago

Late Midseason               Indeterminate              Reg. Leaf

While this Italian tomato is translated as Dragon Heart, it is not a traditional heart shaped tomato.  Very unique fruit shape as they are blocky with denting and large protruding blossom end.

The standard Days to Maturity is, at best, a guess given that weather and the gardener’s own cultural practices vary greatly. I find the following classification to be more informative:

Early less than 65 days               Midseason 65〜80 days               Late 80+ days
