Peche Vilmorin

An ancient variety, long thought lost, this was bred by Henri Vilmorin of the famous Andrieux-Vilmorin Seedhouse in France. Henri was the author of the invaluable reference book ‘The Vegetable Garden’ that was published in English in 1885 – and it’s been in print ever since.

This unusual variety has a large hollow seed cavity – ideal for stuffing like a pepper, or just use as normal – and is one of the prettiest tomatoes we have grown, with a true peach-blush on the skin. Highly productive.

Passed to us via Owen Bridge of Annapolis Seeds. They ripen from the orangey colour in the photos to a deeper red-pink, and make large number of fruit over a long season.
