Lucinda is a green striped tomato with green flesh. The leaves are like carrot leaves. Its a OP version from the cross Green Zebra x Silvery Fir Tree and is bred by Fred Hempel.
The taste is very tart like green zebra.
Some say Lucinda is a dwarf and others say its determinate.

Do u guys know if Lucinda and Silvery Fir Tree are dwarf or determinate plants?

Silver Fir Tree and Lucinda are both determinate plants. Lucinda is supposed to be a determinate medium green striped slicer bred by Fred Hempel and yes, it has carrot like leaves.

Reading this thread was dangerous to my pocketbook... Had to find seeds so I could try this one and of course you never buy ONE seed packet right... thankfully I limited my self to Lucinda and two other varieties.

Nope, never just one. Plus, you gotta make shipping worth it.

Exactly especially if shipping is more then the pack of seeds... AND of course I need to redo my grow list so I can include it but I think I will wait for my swap package to arrive

I love Green Zebra, getting interested in Carrot Leaf plants so hmmm both my flavor and carrot leaf in a dwarf plant... BUT there is a problem as there is an INDET small red plum/cherry tomato that goes by the same name so you have to read the description to make sure you get the seed for the version you want.

This was probably the red indet or as someone called it the original Lucinda. So yep the description in this case is very important...
