$3.90
Unit price perSolanum lycopersicum
Earl Of Edgecombe is a striking New Zealand heirloom producing smooth, round yellow-orange fruits to approximately 75 mm across. The tomatoes have firm, meaty flesh and excellent flavour, making them particularly good eaten fresh, sliced for sandwiches or added to salads.
The variety has an unusual trans-Tasman and British history. It is associated with the 7th Earl of Mount Edgcumbe, who had lived in New Zealand before returning to England to inherit the title. The story goes that the tomato subsequently travelled back to New Zealand with him, where it was preserved and became a treasured heirloom variety.
Plants are vigorous and indeterminate, producing over an extended season, and show some disease resistance. The substantial fruits are best supported with sturdy stakes or trellising.
Seed count: approximately 250–400 seeds per gram.
Approximately 40 seeds per packet.
