Tomato Earl of Edgecombe - 20+ seeds (saved from 2025 harvest)
The Earl of Edgecombe is a New Zealand heirloom tomato variety known for its attractive, firm, round, and meaty orange fruit, which is rich in bioavailable lycopene. It is named after the 7th Earl of Edgecombe, who brought the seeds to England from New Zealand in the 1960s. This indeterminate, mid-season variety has a well-balanced flavor that is both sweet and tart, with a hint of mango, making it excellent for slicing and adding to salads. The plant demonstrates good resistance to cracking and blossom end rot.
