St. Pierre

This old French variety is a great slicing and canning tomato; was donated to the USDA in 1963.  St. Pierre is a very popular tomato in the Paris markets dating back to the 1880’s.  The plant is regular leaf and indeterminate, producing red round fruit- 2-6 oz with an outstanding sweet flavor

This will be my first year growing this variety, I have grown Opalka and Amish Paste in previous years, but this year I will also give this variety a try as a canning tomato.  Must be good if its been a popular market tomato since the 1880's!
