Winsall (aka Henderson's Winsall) Tomato
Solanum lycopersicum
Price: $3.95
SKU: 340451190 days, indeterminate - The regular leaf plants of 'Winsall' produce juicy, large fruit, averaging about one pound each, that are oblate shaped and pink in color. They have an excellent flavor that is mildly sweet with just a hint of tartness. It is an excellent slicing tomato.
We have grown this variety many times over the years with seed from various sources. What these various commercial seed suppliers supplied ultimately did not match the historical record. Additionally, many have incorrectly been calling it, "Wins All."
'Winsall' was originally introduced in a limited trial to their customers by the Peter Henderson Seed Company in 1924 as "Number 400." They renamed it 'Winsall' the following year stating, "It Wins Approval from 40,000 People - It Wins Prizes Wherever Shown - It Wins by Its Qualities of Sweetness, Solidity and Seedlessness - It Wins Because of Its Wonderful Size and Gorgeous Color."
Our 'Winsall' seed originated from USDA accession number NSL 20615 (PI 644841) and was sent to us by Craig LeHoullier.

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.
