Clare’s Tomato

Clare’s Tomato came to us without a specific name from Jim’s Aunt Clare. It seems to be similar to something out there called “Mystery Keeper.” An excellent storage tomato, but very different in color. Plants have dense foliage hiding the incredible fruit production of this variety. When finally ripe and cut open, insides are quite red in color, compared to the outside which is often a lighter pink/yellow/cream colour. Keeps for months after harvest, some reporting having kept a few fruits until Easter (note: the photos here were taken beginning January, hence the fruits do not look as fresh as when first picked, but they were still tasty)! 

Solanum lycopersicum
