Large Orange Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)
Large tomato with orange flesh, very productive and tasty. This variety was given to us by René Paquet. With a bright color and smooth skin, it is excellent in sandwiches or cooked. Don't crack. Not to be confused with the ''Big Orange'' from the United States which is ribbed. This tomato arrived in Quebec through the Catalog des Semences du Patrimoine. It would be a member who received it from a certain Norbert Parreira, from France. He then offered it in the catalog and the members exchanged it... until 2005 when it disappeared. It is Mr. René Paquet, a passionate member then decides in 2019 to re-post it and share it with us.
