Red Fig (1700s) - A historic variety that was grown since the 1700’s as an ornamental and for preserves. In the 1840’s “tomato figs” became popular because it was an inexpensive way to create a substitute for figs. The Red Fig Tomato is 1-1 ½” in length and pear shaped, resembling miniature bowling pins. They are an excellent addition to salads or eating out of hand, not to mention essential for making old fashioned “tomato figs”. Very productive. Indeterminate, regular leaf foliage.

Rideau Sweet - A very sweet open pollinated cherry tomato that was selected from Sweet One Hundred by Ken Allan. One of the best tasting red cherry tomatoes and extremely productive. Very small seed compared to other tomatoes; if you are planning to save seed from this variety make sure that the very small seeds don’t wash through the strainer as you are straining them. (I learned this the hard way!) Indeterminate, regular leaf foliage. (70 days from transplant) Low quantity. |

Riesenstraube - This heirloom from Germany was introduced in the United States in 1993. The seed was obtained from the seed bank at Gatersleben and then brought back to the States. Today, it is one of the most popular heirloom cherry varieties grown, a real success story. Historically, this tomato was used in winemaking, which made a wine similar to dry sherry. Today, it is most often used as a salad tomato. The vines are covered with clusters of 1” oval red fruit hanging like grapes in clusters. The small oval fruit have a distinctive pointed tip on the blossom. The name Reisenstraube, is German for “giant bunch of grapes.” The vines are also some of the tallest that I have grown, growing over 8 ft tall by August. I actually had trouble harvesting the top bunches because of the height. Extremely productive and highly recommended. Vigorous indeterminate, regular-leaf foliage. |
