Plate de Haiti Tomato

The Roughwood Seed Collection acquired this rare Creole tomato from French tomato connoisseur Norbert Parreira. The brilliant, vermillion-red fruit resemble a miniature two-inch diameter apple, hence it's other name Manzana de Hispanola (Apple of Hispanola). Depicted in the 1561 Swiss herbal of Konrad Gessner, this is one of the oldest documented varieties in the Roughwood Collection. Best suited for sauces. Indeterminate.
