I received some Tanggula seeds and just put them in some Pro-Mix BX. Has anybody here had any experience growing this variety?

Do you think this could be a misspelled Tangella?  |

Do you think this could be a misspelled Tangella? No. Here is the link: It's about 3/4 of the way down on the alphabetical list. tgc.ifas.ufl.edu/vol11/v11p36.html It seems to be a cross of a striped mutant of Earliana and Harrow. Tatiana's lists Earliana but I can find nothing on Harrow. |

Glad you found that list and that you are working off it....I've gathered quite a few because and from that list....we should compare notes sometime.
Earl (still collecting early varieties, especially Canadian cultivars)

Earl (still collecting early varieties, especially Canadian cultivars) The Striped mutant caught my attention and I thought of Darth's [and friends'] Siberian Tiger. I have some long-lost relatives that live in Canada that I found about 3 years ago when doing family genealogy. I will contact her and see what varieties of maters I can pry from the family tree. |

Earl (still collecting early varieties, especially Canadian cultivars) What is this list you speak of? I'm always looking for cool weather varieties. I've been drooling over Tatiana's varieties from Russia and such. |

i offered seed last month in swap thread: Tanggula Canada 1962, "blemish free" 5-6oz red fruits uniform ripening on det medium height vines. RL Developed from a cross of Earliana x Harrow. It had a very "tomatoey" flavor (like canned tomatoes) with limited sweetness. Do you have any information on Harrow? I could find nothing. |

Harrow is a canning tomato developed in Canada in the early to mid 1950's. It is still around but is not as good as later higher production disease resistant varieties that have similar growth habits, taste, etc. Not one I would chase down. |

I just wanted to know any information about it since I could not find any myself. |

Some of the older canning varieties I have tried have a very strong rich quality to them not found in later varieties (especially when firmness and cracking came to play). This quality is not going to be like a Brandywine which sides to sweet but rather that quality one finds concentrated in sauce, pastes, soups or ketchup. This is a very good point. Some of these canners are quite tasty. It would be a worthwhile project for someone to do some side by side grow outs of some of these older canners to see which ones hold up best to disease resistance and have good taste. I know taste is subjective, but not completely. Commercial varieties usually have a short life span of less than a decade before they are replaced with a newer variety. Some of these forgotten kinds could be very good. |

3 of 6 up of the Tanggula I'm not sure how I would explain how they look: Not that they look bad or unhealthy but they just look... unusual. And what's with the trois cotyledons?  |
