Rose de Cagnolle Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)
This early producing pink tomato is a rare heirloom variety from France that was bred on the Cagnolle Farm in the Dordogne region between the Loire Valley and Pyrenees Mountains. The fruits are heart-shaped with pink flesh and few seeds. The flavor is sweet with hints of minerals and medium acid. The fruits average around 8 oz. and the plants are vigorous producers. Our plants average 25-30 fruits each. (Indeterminate)
Origin: We received the parent seed of Rose de Cagnolle from our friend Valéry Tsimba while we were visiting her in Paris. Valéry is a Master Gardener and the author of the excellent book, "Container Gardening -The Permaculture Way" which is now available in English on Amazon.

Germination rate: 95% - tested 10/17/24
Planting Instructions: We recommend starting tomato seeds indoors in a bright and warm location 4 to 6 weeks before last frost date in spring. Transplant after danger of frost in full sun and trellis. Rose de Cagnolle is an early tomato variety and we have successfully grown the variety by direct sowing seeds in the garden around our last frost date.
