SKU: 3403441Beautiful & Wonderful tasting tomato. Purchased a 6 inch seedling at local nursery in spring of 2023. I was drawn by its stalky look and potato like leaves. Grew plant in a 10 gallon grow bag in Seattle, WA. Plant itself was very sturdy just needing a single stake. Plant grew to about 45 inches tall. The tomatoes were harvested in two groups ... for 23 total tomatoes. (First group was picked Aug-Sept (10) then picked remainder all at once in 2nd week of October (13) due to rainy weather and let them ripen inside.) The first group of tomatoes were larger and varied from 6oz to almost 13oz (most 7.5 - 11oz). Second group were smaller ... 2oz to 8.5oz. All of the tomatoes were virtually perfect & did not crack. Even those picked green and ripened inside had an excellent taste. Due to this very positive first experience with Sweet Scarlet, I searched for seeds & found them here. I look forward to growing them this season.
These plants are gorgeous and very healthy! I grew in my raised beds, and I usually get hit with septoria. These aren't showing any signs! The tomatoes are full flavored and taste the way you think a tomato should. Not too sweet, not to tangy, but complex. I like my tomatoes to smack me in the face with flavor, and this one does! This one will be a staple in my garden every year!
Did well as a winter dwarf indoors under lights in pots. Good robust flavor.
Rich tomato flavor in huge fruits - 10oz and much larger. Sweet as its name implies, with a rich, deep, rewarding tang. A favorite of the San Juan County Master Gardeners in a recent tomato tasting. We'll happily grow it again.
