Tomato 'Lucid Gem' (Solanum lycopersicum), Offered by Les Gardiens - Ferme Alternative
The 'Lucid Gem' tomato is an heirloom variety notable for its two-tone flesh: deep red in the center and golden yellow on the edges. It offers a sweet flavor with fruity notes, a fleshy texture and very few seeds. This late to mid-season tomato is particularly productive and heat tolerant. Indeterminate, it continues to grow and produce throughout the season. It remains very ripe on the plant and has excellent storage capacity after harvest.
