Bear Creek Tomato Seeds - Lycopersicon lycopersicum

$4.50

In stock at livingseedcompany.com

Bear Creek tomato seeds come from a stabilized cross of Brandywine and Cherokee Purple bred by Keith Mueller. The vines produce 6 to 10 ounce black bicolor beefsteaks with the smoky-sweet flavor of dark tomatoes, and the listing notes better crack and blight resistance than many classic heirlooms. Each packet has 25 open-pollinated seeds.
