Striped Amos Tomato

Not a heirloom just yet but we believe Striped Amos will become a favourite amongst gardeners.

Once in a blue moon a cross between two varieties become stable. At Glen Seeds this happened with an accidental cross between Amos Coli  tomato and, we guess,  Banana Legs or Cassidy’s Folly tomato which gave a really pretty result with a surprisingly sweet  and acidic taste.

Fruits are pear / paste tomato shaped, predominantly red with fine yellow zig zag striping. Few seeds, very fleshy and sweet as expected from a paste tomato and an acidity not known of in paste tomatoes.

This strain might not be stable just yet. At Glen Seeds we have grown it for 5 seasons and are quite pleased with the result and decided since it is such a unique and tasty tomato, we should rather release it to the market sooner than later.

Approximately 25 seeds
