Tres Cantos Tomato
While in Barcelona, Spain a few weeks ago, I bought a packet of Tres Cantos tomato seeds. The description on the packet says it is indeterminate and produces tomatoes between 180-200 grams (6 to 7 oz). It says med to large size, slightly flat, slightly ribbed skin. When I research further I find that Tres Cantos originated in the Tenerife area of the Canary Islands and can get really large. I am wondering if there might be two varieties of Tres Cantos, one more medium like mine and a larger one. Curious if anyone has grown this variety or knows if there are two possibilities. I will grow it this summer to see what I get and report back.
The company selling my seeds is called Rocalba.

Re: Tres Cantos Tomato
Yours don’t look somewhat flat or ribbed. Mine may actually be like yours leading me to believe there must be a couple of Tres Cantos varieties. Won’t know till I grow them.
I just checked Tatiana’s site and she describes them as being round and smooth. Her photos are mixed with hers matching that description. But the one submitted by Klaus-Peter Schurz is definitely flatter and more ribbed.
Rather confusing!
