Abraham Brown Tomato
Price: $3.95
SKU: 34047721'Abraham Brown' is the result of a "bee cross" with one of Millard Murdock's varieties 'Black Magic'. 'Black Magic' is a cross between 'Lucky Cross' and an unknown variety that was stabilized by Mr. Murdock of Flat Rock, North Carolina. Craig LeHoullier received seeds of 'Abraham Brown' by North Carolina tomato grower Mike Jones at a Mother Earth News Fair event at which Craig was speaking in 2017. Initially a bit unstable, several years of work by Craig and Mike Dunton resulted in what appears to match the correct characteristics of 'Abraham Brown' as developed by Millard Murdock.
Fruit Color: Black
Full light and cooler temps (60° to 70°) will help to prevent the seedlings from becoming too leggy. If plants become rootbound before you can safely set them into the ground, transplant them into larger pots.
Harden off plants before planting outside. Young plants are very susceptible to frost and sunburn damage. Avoid too much nitrogen. Water evenly but not in excess.

I loved this AB tomato plant. Big, healthy, disease resistant. It produced the most beautiful tomatoes I've ever grown, even with the cool summer we had this year. I suppose that's probably why the taste was a bit bland and lacking for me. It could really be a flavor winner for those with hot summers.
