The
Plum Lemon variety reached a wider market thanks to Kent Whealy, who bought seeds at a flea market in Moscow in August 1991. It originates from the St. Petersburg area and is characterized by fruits with a bright yellow skin and flesh that is slightly less intensely colored. It pairs interestingly with “
Black Plum.” The tomatoes are small, reaching about 5 cm in length, and have a firmness similar to that of paste tomatoes, with a delicate, pleasant flavor. They are perfect for soups. A distinctive feature of this variety is the previously mentioned shape of the fruit, which, combined with its color, makes it resemble a lemon. The plants are tall; they can be trained to grow on two shoots and require staking or support on a stake. They reach maturity 75 to 80 days after transplanting.
