JARSON 12/1 TOMATO SEEDS

10+ Organically Grown Seeds — Jarson 12/1

A breathtaking selection from Polish breeder Jarson, Jarson 12/1 is a tomato that perfectly demonstrates why his varieties have developed such a devoted following among collectors. Created from a cross between Copia and Zapotec, this remarkable selection combines the dramatic striping of Copia with the deeply ribbed character of Zapotec, resulting in a tomato that looks like a work of art and tastes every bit as good as it looks.

The indeterminate, regular-leaf plants are vigorous and extraordinarily productive, continuing to set fruit from midseason until the very end of the growing season. The large fruits average around 15 oz (425 g) and develop a distinctive shape that falls somewhere between a heavily ribbed beefsteak and a large pear. Their stunning brick-red skin is overlaid with metallic green striping, creating one of the most eye-catching displays in the garden.

While many beautiful tomatoes disappoint in the flavor department, Jarson 12/1 delivers. The flesh is rich, juicy, and packed with flavor, offering a delicious balance of sweetness, fruitiness, and bright tanginess. In grower reviews, it consistently ranks among the most memorable tasting Jarson selections, combining excellent texture with a vibrant, refreshing flavor profile.

As with many Jarson varieties, part of the excitement comes from the breeding itself. These selections often showcase unique combinations of traits inherited from exceptional parent varieties, making every growout an opportunity to experience something special.

For gardeners seeking a tomato that excels in beauty, productivity, and flavor, Jarson 12/1 is an outstanding choice.
