Tomato "Blue Beech"
Tomato "Blue Beech".
This wonderful variety, well-suited for cooler climates, produces beautiful elongated Andean-type fruits with a sweet, rich flavor. They are highly prized for making thick sauces, pastes, and even preserves, as their firm, meaty flesh contains very few seeds.

Weight: 180-300 g.
Shape: elongated (paste-type).
Texture: firm and meaty.

History: This heirloom variety originally comes from Italy. It was brought to the United States during World War II (around 1945). Decades later, Annette Smith from Blue Beech Farm in Danby, Vermont, shared the acclimated seeds with Fedco Seeds, who introduced the variety to the public and named it in honor of her farm.
