Tomato 'Christina Teresa 2' - (Solanum arcanum x lycopersicum) (F3) - 12 seeds

We created a hybrid of a wild tomato species (S. arcanum) and a wild, cultivated tomato. It is likely not fully stable. The fruit is pure red and has a very good flavor. The F1 and F2 generation plants were resistant to late blight, but we don't know how this trait will hold in subsequent generations. The 'Christina Teresa 2' tomato has 50% of its genes derived from the field tomato (Solanum lycopersicum = Lycopersicon esculentum). We offer seeds that will produce F3 generation plants. The photos show F2 plants—those that produced F3 seeds. Obtaining this hybrid wasn't easy, as we had to combine species from two tomato groups that are very difficult to cross. This is the result of many years of work, and it is truly successful. This variety produces very tasty fruit and is also disease resistant. It also has a fairly common (but not in all seedlings) trait of inflorescence overgrowth (a primitive trait—the formation of a leafy shoot at the top of the inflorescence). This is a result of selection—we also have another very similar hybrid whose fruit is bicolored (whitish and pink). If you're passionate about growing unusual tomato varieties, you've come to the right place. The package contains 12 fresh seeds.

Although the spring season is over, we managed to complete all the formalities and can now legally sell not only wild tomatoes, but also Solanum lycopersicum and its hybrids!

We ship seeds with a plant passport. They can only be purchased from European Union countries.
