Banana Legs Tomato
Solanum lycopersicum
Price: $2.95
SKU: 340031175 days, determinate - The compact plants of 'Banana Legs' are very productive with fruit that are similar in shape and color to a small banana. They have a low acid flavor, are meaty, and average 1½ inches in diameter by four inches in length. The novelty of 'Banana Legs' fruit makes them an interesting addition to any tossed green salad.
'Banana Legs' was named and introduced in 1984 by seed saver, John Swenson of Illinois (IL SW J). Mr. Swenson stabilized it from a single plant selection from a batch of unnamed crosses from breeder Tom Wagner who called them, "Mixed Long Toms." Mr. Swenson went on to use 'Banana Legs' as a parent for the 'Speckled Roman' tomato.

Sow seeds indoors (do not direct sow into the garden), using sterile seed starting mix, 6 to 8 weeks before your last expected frost date. Plant 1/4" deep, water lightly but keep moist until emergence.
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.
