Lycopersicon esculentum Seeds

Ponderosa Red Tomato

Tomatoes are high in the antioxidant vitamins beta-carotene, vitamin C and vitamin E, as well as the carotenoid lycopene. This means that tomatoes are helpful in preventing heart disease and cancers. Tomatoes are also high in potassium but very low in sodium which means they help combat high blood pressure and fluid retention. Borage is an excellent companion plant for tomatoes, squash and strawberries. The plant actually improves the flavour of tomatoes growing nearby. Also draws bees to your garden. This plant produces high yields of flavourful extra-large 450gr red beefsteak type tomatoes. These are almost seedless, low acidity, and very meaty with an old-fashioned tomato taste. It takes 85 days to reach maturity.
