    Wickenburg - Prescott Heirloom

    • TM013

      • Solanum lycopersicum. These smallish, plum-type tomatoes are excellent for fresh eating and also make a dense sauce with a "fulsome delicious" mellow balance, according to Chef Molly Beverly, our partner farmer who grew them in 2021.  The productive plants mature quickly and are tolerant of arid conditions. 

      Chef Beverly also uncovered the history of this tomato in Prescott and beyond, linking it to former State Senator John Upton Hays who grew it in Prescott for years and shared the seed widely ... as well as to Dr. Floyd Burton Bralliar who likely developed the variety in Wickenburg, AZ  Read the full story here.  From our Seed Bank Collection

    Growing these for 18 years!

    Always vigorous, productive, excellent for sauces, out of hand eating, and drying. I started with seed I originally bought from NSS in 2007 and have easily saved seed and grown Prescotts every year since. Our hot, dry summers and mild fall weather in Southern Oregon are perfect for this tomato.

    I have found it!

    This is proving to be THE tomato I've been searching for. It has been the easiest tomato I have eve]er grown. Fast germination, sturdy, attractive vines that sailed through our Chihuahuan pre-monsoon June heat without a flinch, setting and ripening fruit the whole time. I just wish the fruits were a bit larger, but that certainly isn't a deal breaker. It sends out suckers so vigorously I can barely keep up with them and I'm rotting the big ones I snap off to make even more plants to get in during the monsoon season. And it TASTES GOOD! I've been recommending it to everyone here in Las Cruces.

    Too early to tell. Dog Stepped on the plant but it's coming back lots of small green tomatoes.
