Organic Chiapas Tomato | HEIRLOOM
Chiapas along with her sweet yellow cousin, Coyote, are always our first and last tomatoes we savor each season.
And they don't trickle in: Their vigorous growth sends cascades of delectable fruit in every direction.
Here's the thing: Chiapas and Coyote share the same genus as most other tomatoes, but not the same species (you'll find it below; all the plant nerds in your life will be very impressed with you). Among other things, this means they're a little more wild --- a little less domesticated --- and as a result, they simply don't get classic tomato diseases like Late Blight, Early Blight and Septoria Leaf Spot.
Delicious disease resistance!
Enjoy every bite :)
