Earl Faux seeds

6 years ago

It's been many years since I've had the opportunity to grow open-pollinated tomatoes. This upcoming year I finally have a plot to do it in. I'm especially excited about growing Earl faux again after so many years. The last time I grew Earl Faux I got the seeds from Earl himself. I want to get seeds again, but I want to be sure that there are actually the Earl faux that I grew many years ago. It's been a long time, and I'm not sure if Earl is still around, so can anyone tell me if he is, or what is a good trusted source to get Earl faux that will actually be the ones I used to grow. If anyone here has saved the seeds over the years and know that they are true, I would be willing to pay for a handful of them, as I do not have any seeds of my own to trade at this point

From Tatiana'stomatobase.com Earl's Faux
- 'Discovered' by Earl Cadenhead, Ohio, in the early 2000s, who received the seed in a seed trade as 'Red Brandywine' and was surprised to see potato leaf plants, as Red Brandywine should have regular foliage. Earl found the taste to be truly outstanding, and he distributed the seeds among the members of Garden Web and Tomatoville. This variety has been popular among hobby tomato growers since then, and it has now become commercially available (Tomato Growers Supply ).
- First offered in the Seed Savers 2005 Yearbook by OH RI M2 (Mark Richardson of Loveland, Ohio) and OH ST S, seeds from Earl Cadenhead, Ohio.

Tomatofest also offers Earl Faux

Reimerseeds also offers them but I'd stay far, far away from ordering anything from them based on my one bad experience. Poor germination and off types.

I think that Earl has passed away.
