Frontenac tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)
The origin of this tomato is not known, but according to a source on the web it comes from the Lanaudière region and is very old. This is my discovery of the year, the fruit, of medium size (100 to 200 g), is dark red, very round and regular, and has a truly authentic flavor. Performs well in colder regions or short seasons. A good old tomato from our gardens!
