(Seeds from hybrid tomatoes may not always produce the exact same characteristics as the original.) We have been growing this variety for several years and collected the seeds. As some are originally hybrids, the offspring may display some minor changes, but our experience is that the fruit you will grow will be very similar to the descriptions of the original. We have selected these seeds over several generations. We considered them to be open-pollinated. =s=s=s=s=s=s=s=ss==s=s=ss==ss=s==s=s=s=s Seed Shipping: Free to US and Canada Low Shipping fee- no matter how many seeds you order!
