Tomato 'Bronze Shell'

PACKAGING: Sachet Zip lock 12 - 15 SEEDS

2. History: Selected by tomato breeder Marina Kirishchova (Bryansk, Russia) from Amarillo Rusty Paste provided by Dean Slater. Bronza Amarillo Rusty Paste has turned out to be a roma tomato. Due to the instability of this variety, different tomato breeders have grown elongated (pepper-shaped) fruits but the name of the variety has remained unchanged.

We held an inquiry and revealed that several tomato breeders, which have been growing this variety and sharing the seeds with each other, have grown the fruits of the same shape being pepper-like and elongated. The seeds we received were of this type. As a result, we consulted Marina Kirishchova on September 21, 2020 and suggested naming this variety as Bronze Shell. We received an OK from Marina and are now pleased to present this amazing and beautiful variety.
