Solanum lycopersicum
Price: $2.95
SKU: 340184195 days, indeterminate - The regular leaf plants of 'Lutescent Long Red' have foliage that yellows as it matures, from the bottom of the plant up, similar to Livingston's 'Honor Bright', but not as pronounced. The fruit are medium sized (four to eleven ounces), deep globe shaped, and turn from a nearly white color to red at maturity.
'Lutescent Long Red' was originally sent to us in 2005 by Craig LeHoullier who said, "I think that you are now the world protector of 'Lutescent Long Red'! Craig received the variety from Clay Foard of Canada.
Clay wrote to us in 2006 stating, "I belong to Seeds of Diversity Canada, and the PGRC (Plant Gene Resource Canada) was attempting to utilize the members to grow out varieties that were getting long in the tooth storage wise. There was literally no information sent with the seeds."

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.
