GEZAHNTE BUHRER-KEEL

10+ Organically Grown Seeds — Gezahnte Buhrer-Keel

A rare and visually dramatic German heirloom, Gezahnte Buhrer Keel is best known for its bold structure and unmistakable ribbing. The name roughly translates to “toothed Buhrer keel,” a fitting description for the deeply serrated, fluted shoulders that give this tomato a sculptural, almost architectural appearance.

This indeterminate, regular-leaf variety produces medium to large fruits that are flattened and heavily ribbed, ripening to a rich red with classic heirloom character. The flesh is dense and meaty with a satisfying balance of sweetness and acidity, delivering that robust, old-fashioned tomato flavor prized by traditional growers.

Plants are vigorous and productive through the season and benefit from sturdy support to handle the weight of the uniquely shaped fruit. A true collector’s tomato, Gezahnte Buhrer Keel is perfect for gardeners who appreciate historic European varieties with strong visual presence and authentic flavor.
