Latah (Super-early Salad type)
£3.29
This is the one for your earliest crop. It might just be the best early tomato ever. It’s a super-early variety that tolerates short or cool summers, covered in 1 inch spherical red fruit on a sprawling bush. Latah is our most popular bush tomato, and it really is remarkable. The leaves are very far-spaced on the stem – the plants look a bit odd – and this lets in more light to reach the fruit so they ripen even earlier.
The fruit are mostly roundish but some are a bit ribbed, with the occasional odd shape too. The plants are quite untidy. To be honest, you can’t really train them or support them in any way – but if you let them get on with it they really will make ripe tasty tomatoes earlier than you thought possible. Fantastic flavour, balanced acid and sweetness, this is just great raw, & nice cooked too.
We originally thought this was from Russia, but several people have written to correct us. Bonnie Gomez wrote: “The Latah Tomato was developed in Latah County at the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho in the United States. We have a short growing season (just over 4 months of the year) in Northern Idaho and have unpredictable springs (i.e. frost and snow) and that’s why “absurdly early” plants seem like a good idea! Thank you! “
Absurdly early red tomatoes, on a very untidy sprawling bush.
