Tomato 'Jersey Giant' Seeds (Naturally Grown)
This New Jersey canning variety is on the verge of extinction!
Details
This New Jersey canning variety is on the verge of extinction! It is an excellent and rare paste tomato that yields plentiful amounts of 4"- 6", bright red, pointed tomatoes. Their meaty, rich flesh is much tastier than modern paste types, and the fruit have very few seeds. Jersey Giants are excellent for canning and making sauce.
