I understand you developed the Chile Verde Tomato. This tomato won first prize at the Kendal Jackson tomato contest. I am looking for seeds to plant for my home garden in Scottsdale, AZ. Thanks in advance for any information you can provide about purchasing some of these tomato seeds.

Description

A far-out and really cool tomato developed by Tom Wagner, who also bred the ‘Green Zebra’ and many other great varieties. This one is especially fascinating, with its amazing, pointed pepper shape and the mellow green skin, nearly like a green chili. The flavor is also good, strong and earthy, perfect for canning or for making green ketchup! This is one of the few green paste tomatoes and, like most paste types, this one has few seeds. That made seed collecting a challenge, but fortunately this variety really produced, right up till frost. Plants are really vigorous with thick stems and large leaves.

Therefore, just another one of my re-discovered tomatoes getting some good press.

I guess good press is a bonus. I plan on purchasing a packet of them to try out this year. My family especially my mother and grandmother prefer the paste types.

I guess I'm going to have to try and find a source for these seeds and try them.
