10+ Organically Grown Seeds — Jarson 18/3
Among the many remarkable creations from Polish breeder Jarson, Jarson 18/3 has developed a reputation as one of the most exciting green-when-ripe tomatoes in the collection. Created from a cross between Malakhitovaya Shkatulka (Malachite Box) and Copia, this selection combines the legendary flavor of Malachite Box with the size, beauty, and productivity of Copia. The result is a tomato that has impressed growers from its very first season.
Jarson 18/3 represents the green-when-ripe expression of the Jarson 18 cross, one of four known color variants. The vigorous indeterminate plants produce enormous harvests of large, striped fruits that ripen to beautiful yellow-green tones with subtle striping and marbling. Plants are known for carrying exceptionally heavy fruit loads, making this a rewarding variety for gardeners seeking both quality and quantity.
The flavor is where this variety truly earns its reputation. Rich, bold, and unforgettable, Jarson 18/3 delivers the kind of “loud” tomato flavor that enthusiasts spend years searching for. Sweetness and tanginess are perfectly balanced, creating a bright, complex taste that lingers long after each bite. Growers have even suggested that it may rival, or in some cases surpass, the legendary Malachite Box in eating quality, which is exceptionally high praise given that variety’s reputation.
Large, colorful, productive, and packed with flavor, Jarson 18/3 is a variety that quickly becomes a favorite among collectors and serious tomato growers alike. If you enjoy green-when-ripe tomatoes with exceptional complexity and garden performance, this one deserves a place in your collection.
