Lynwood. Mid-season, Indeterminate, Regular Leaf, round 2 inch bright red fruits, huge yields that produce until killing frost. Old-time variety from Virginia, named after the almost abandoned town of Lynwood on the Shenandoah River.
What do you like about it? As a Virginian, I'm always curious about Virginia varieties.

Yes, that is the correct tomato. It was originally offered by Chuck Wyatt along with a story of how he obtained seed from a relative's stash. Lynnwood is a superb flavored medium size red tomato with a penchant for producing heavy loads of fruit. If I had to pick 3 tomatoes to grow and only those three, Lynnwood would be there. It is not just flavor. The overall package is a healthy productive good flavored tomato that is easy to care for. It is adaptable to a range of locations.
