The Nepal tomato is an heirloom tomato originally form the Northern Himalayan mountains. Big sprawling, indeterminate plant producing an abundant crop of 10-12oz (~1/2 lb), smooth, round, scarlet-red tomatoes. Intense sweet, rich flavors. Fantastic early-midseason slicer with sturdy, vigorous vines, crack-resistant fruit, and a heavy set for its size. Can also be harvested green and ripened off the vine. May not be as interesting to look at but the flavor of these tomatoes have made them popular among many tomato growers.
As an open pollinated variety, anyone can save seeds and regrow this same variety next year! Simply squeze the flesh of the ripe tomato into a small glass, add a bit of water and let ferment for a few days. Decant the seeds by adding more water and slowly pouring off the seeds and flesh that float to the top. Do this a few times until the water runs clear and the remaining seeds have settled to the bottom. Strain seeds, dry them on a plate of piece of wax paper and then store in a paper envelope or glass jar out of direct sunlight. Seeds stay viable for 5-7 years.
Minimum 100 seeds per packet.
