Sioux Tomato (Lycopersicon lycopersicum)

Sioux Tomato (Lycopersicon lycopersicum) : An ancient Lakota ecotype, this one is also the result of research into ecotypes tolerant of water stress and intense heat. Productivity was prioritized over earliness during breeding, resulting in a good harvest even in extremely hot conditions. The berries, rounded and smooth-skinned, weigh 170 grams. The flesh is firm yet juicy, with a balanced flavor between sweet and acidic. It is used both for preserves and eaten raw. These characteristics were likely influenced by post-World War I commercial demands in the United States, resulting in the development of a tomato suitable for commercial use: undemanding, hardy, productive, and suitable for everyone and everything. A piece of history in the garden.
