D'Iberville organic tomato

Price range: $4.50 through $13.25

Lycopersicon esculentum, Solanaceae

La tomate ‘D’Iberville’ est une variété du Québec disparue du commerce, très productive et fiable, exemplaire dans sa résistance aux maladies. S’il est un rouge tomate c’est celui-là! Ses fruits sont lisses, en grappes, savoureux, pas très gros : 120 à 200 grammes (plus gros si vous limitez le nombre de fruits par grappe). C’est une bonne tomate à manger crue qui donne aussi une excellente sauce cuite car elle est bien charnue. Port indéterminé. On cueille des fruits mûrs à partir de 65 jours après la transplantation.

Anecdote: In 2002, at a Montreal seed festival held in a church in the Notre-Dame-de-Grâce district, a man came up to our table and handed us the precious sachet containing our first D'Iberville tomato seeds, almost begging us to adopt the tomato. I wish I'd had the presence of mind to press him with questions to find out more about the origins of this variety... We simply promised to propagate it, which we've been doing ever since.
