Tomato Ice Grow (Solanum lycopersicum)
Beautiful red fruits, almost round, about 10 cm, but not very regular. Very good flavor. Its name comes from the fact that it had to endure hail. Cultivated by Mr. Guy Bourgeois, market gardener in Ste-Dorothée, Laval, in the 1950s and 60s, to be sold at Bonsecours Market, a former public market in Old Montreal. Thanks to his daughter Suzanne for transmitting seeds. They were given to us by René Paquet who got them from Antoine D'Avignon, one of the pioneers in Quebec of saving ancestral seeds.
