BLABY SPECIAL
Historical British variety. Small red fruit of +/-120 grams, perfectly round and smooth, without defect.
Historical heirloom variety from England. Cultivated mainly at the Shoult farm in the village of Blaby, from the 1900s until 1948 when the farm disappeared. Following a campaign led by Dr. Russel Sharp, of the University of Lancaster, the cultivar was put back in culture thanks to seeds found in a seed bank in the Netherlands. It could be a mutation of the variety "Anwell" cultivated at the time in this farm. Very popular, known for its excellent flavor, it was believed to be lost. Presented to the Seed Savers Yearbook of 2008.
Small red fruit of +/-120 grams, perfectly round and smooth, without defect. Clusters of 8 to 12 units.
Juicy flesh, 3 lodges containing lots of gel and seeds. Old fashioned tomato flavor. As good in salads as for canning.
Very good productivity and resistance.
Indeterminate growth for some and semi-determinate for others.
Well adapted to cool summer or short season regions, it seems that it does not appreciate excessive heat.
