Black Cherry

A deep purple cherry tomato, 1 inch in size. Abundant and early producer and sweet tasting. Plants are large and sprawling.

Blue Berries

A big producer with great taste, this variety bears clusters of almost black fruit with a red-brown interior. Very high in anthocyanin.

Brad's Atomic Grape

A very funky cherry tomato indeed! This elongated multi-coloured tomato is a fun addition to the plate. Don't be deceived by the wispy foliage - this is a highly productive plant with an abundance of crack-resistant and very sweet fruit.

Camp Joy (a.k.a. Chadwick's Cherry)

A compact, very early variety that bears loads of 1-inch red fruit. No staking required. Ideal for planters and small gardens.

Red or Yellow Currant

Also known as 'teaspoon' tomatoes, the small fruit is super sweet and excellent for snacking by grown-ups and children alike.

Dark Tiger

This intriguing cherry tomato bears crops of 1-inch fruit shaped like a fat pear with gold and red striping, and dark blue shoulders. Fruit is harvested when the top turns black and the bottom is dark red.

Gardener's Delight

This is a large red cherry tomato that bears golf-ball sized fruit. Very sweet tasting and abundant. Grows well in pots.

Green Grape

A large cherry tomato that turns a golden green colour when ripe. The interior is green, with a juicy mild taste. A beautiful contrast when served with other tomatoes.

JuJube

A red grape tomato the size and shape of a jumbo olive. Grows in long clusters and is perfect for snacking.

Lemon Drop

By far my favourite yellow cherry tomato, this variety is juicy and low in acid. An early and vigorous producer with excellent disease resistance. A lovely contrast in salads when combined with green, red and dark cherry varieties!

Peking Panda

A beautiful pear-shaped cherry tomato, very similar to the variety Yellow Pear, with all the sweetness but without the cracking. A very abundant crop on a bushy plant.

Pink Bumblebee

The Bumblebee family (Pink, Purple and Sunrise) are a beautiful collection of large, striking cherry tomatoes. This pink variety has attractive yellow and orange streaking on the outside. The fruit is elongated and crack-resistant, with a sweet flavour.

Purple Bumblebee

A companion to Pink Bumblebee, with a richer colour and streaking.

Red Fig

Popular in America since the 18th century, this rare variety bears 1 1/2 inch, pear-shaped fruit, that is sweet and tasty.

Riesentraube

Pre-1856, this rare German heirloom translates as a "giant bunch of grapes". The one-inch red fruit grows in clusters of 20-40 on a bushy plant. The fruit is mild-tasting, with a quirky tip on the bottom!

Spoon

From Peru, this rare variety bears a large crop of pea-sized red fruit with a bold taste. Sprawling and vigorous plants yield loads of fruit, excellent for snacking.

Sunrise Bumblebee

This large oblong cherry tomato is a lovely blend of reds and oranges, inside and out. It is sweet, juicy and fruity tasting. An excellent producer (and companion to Pink Bumblebee and Purple Bumblebee!)

Vernissage Yellow

This variety bears huge crops of golf ball-sized yellow fruit with light green striping. Juicy and sweet tasting.

Small to Medium Tomatoes

Beaver Lodge

A super early variety, bred at the Beaver Lodge Research Centre in Alberta. The smooth red fruit is 2-3 inches in size and has a robust taste. This variety is 'determinate', bearing an abundance of fruit all at once. Excellent for containers or hanging baskets.

This golden orange tomato grows in clusters on a compact and bushy plant. Slightly tart and juicy with small seed cavities and few seeds.

German Lunchbox

A vibrant pink tomato the size of an egg, with a very sweet taste. Ideal for packing in lunches or adding to salads.

Large Tomatoes

Aunt Ruby's German Green

Weighing up to 1 lb and grows in clusters of 2 to 3 tomatoes. The fruit is light green with a hint of yellow when ripe, with a pinkish-green interior. Meaty and delicious with a slightly acidic flavour and few seeds.

Believe It or Not

A late-bearing beefsteak with huge pinkish-red fruit that is tender, juicy and meaty. Smooth-shouldered with excellent flavour.

Big Zac

A mid-season beefsteak that can reach 3 lbs! From New Jersey, this variety bears sweet red, flattened fruit on a tall plant.

Black Giant

This variety bears mild-tasting fruit with very little cracking. It has interesting green streaking on the outside as it ripens to a purplish colour with green shoulders. Not a bushy plant but a good producer.

Black Krim

One of the first heirloom tomatoes to hit farmers' markets, this variety is highly regarded for its intense flavour. The thin-skinned fruit is maroon with green shoulders. Best picked before it's fully ripe as it is prone to cracking.

Brandywine

Probably one of the most famous heirlooms, passed down from the Amish since 1885. Weighing up to 1 lb, this red beefsteak is great for slicing, salads and sandwiches. Not a heavy producer and bears later in the season.

Cherokee Purple

A late variety believed to have come from Cherokee gardeners of Tennessee pre-1890. The fruit is large and slightly ridged, and a deep rose colour. The flavour is rich and full - a favourite of heirloomists. Grows on large vines.

Delicious

This is a large beefsteak that is bright red and meaty.

German Pink

This later variety originated in Bavaria and came to the US in 1883. The plants bear high yields of 1- to 2-lb fruit, that is nearly seedless and meaty. Tender skinned with a full, sweet flavour. Ideal for canning, freezing, slicing and juicing.

Amish Paste

This heirloom from Wisconsin produces very large, heart-shaped, meaty fruit on wispy foliage. While not a heavy producer, the fruit is excellent for drying and sauces.

A red paste heirloom of Yugoslavian descent. Not a heavy producer but bears larger fruit than Amish Paste, and is great for drying and sauces. Early and disease-resistant.

Martino's Roma

A tried-and-true paste variety that bears an abundant crop of fruit with thick flesh and few seeds.

San Marzano

A mid-season, old Italian paste tomato that bears loads of small red 3-inch fruit on mid-sized plants. Very popular for its abundant crop and disease resistance.

Sicilian Saucer

A magnificently huge red tomato that reached 2 lbs in my garden. It has thick flesh and attractive ridges, and is a juicy yet meaty tomato. Excellent for sauces.
