Tomato 'Winsall'

This is perhaps my favorite variety. It is the most "hybrid-like" open-pollinated variety I have encountered. Yields are very good, the...Read More plants are vigorous, the fruits are relatively large, but the quality of the fruit is where I think this variety really distinguishes itself. I have not seen a non-hybrid with greater fruit uniformity and crack resistance.

Fruits are pink in color with moderate ribbing -- just enough to give it an heirloom look. The taste is mild and sweet. I would rank it as very good to excellent in flavor, but not outstanding. What has grown for me over the past two seasons definitely tasted head and shoulders above supermarket tomatoes. If I were a market grower, I would definitely consider this variety. My seed source was heirloomseeds.

Overall disappointed in this tomato. To the point where I cut the stem and harvested the green tomatoes for chutney. Very vigorous plan...Read Moret produced plenty of large beautiful tomatoes. Problem was they tasted like commercial supermarket tomatoes in January. We ate 3 different fruits to give it a chance before harvesting them green. I would say that I had plenty of other varieties which were much better. I bought the seeds from tomatofest.

An improved version of the Ponderosa, Pink.
