Bananas Noire Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) This beautiful and tasty tomato comes from Lauren of Mr. & Mrs. Tomato Head. Bananas Noire emerged in her garden years ago as an unexpected cross between Ananas Noire and an unknown cherry tomato. The result was a multicolored tomato that is highly productive and has a complex, fruity flavor. The robust plants produce lots of 2-3 oz fruits that start off green and add red, yellow and rusty colors as they mature. This cross has proven to be one of the hardiest and most disease-resistant tomato plant varieties in our garden (regular leaf) and the flavor is incredible! (Indeterminate) Origin: The parent seed of our Bananas Noire tomatoes were given to us by Lauren from Mr. & Mrs. Tomato Head (Tomato lovers collaborative). Lauren is a world authority on tomatoes and we are so happy that this incredible cross emerged from her garden! (Approximately 20 seeds per packet) Germination Rate: All of our seed varieties exceed 80% germination and are re-tested every 6 months. Planting Instructions: We recommend starting tomato seeds indoors in a bright and warm location 4 to 6 weeks before last frost date in spring. Transplant after danger of frost in full sun and trellis.
