Growing Tomatoes

Crimson Delight tomato

11 years ago

Does anyone know anything about the Crimson Delight tomato, also known as Missouri Crimson Delight? Has anyone ever grown it? Tatiana's TomatoBase describes it as:

80 days, indet., potato leaf with a high yield of 8-10 oz pink fruit with excellent flavor, Missouri heirloom since the 1840s

I have been looking for a source for the seed, but it seems it's not commercially available...at least at all the sources I have checked. Please let me know if anyone knows of a source, or may have some seed. Being a Missouri native, I would really like to have this tomato in the garden, and hopefully see the variety in more widespread cultivation, and more readily available to others that may be interested.

Thanks...

I did a search and the only place that I could find it listed is The Sample Seed Shop. It isn't currently for sale but you can email her and request that she grows it out. Just go to her website and look under master seed list. You can find the email address there.

You could also try putting in a request on the seed swap forum.

Thanks! Yes, I have previously seen it on the Sample Seed Shop inventory page. However, I didn't think to send an email inquiring about it. Will do that...
