Kopek Hayasi

chancethegardener · June 15, 2015

This is an old Turkish heirloom from Alakir Basin of Turkey, for which I got seeds through a seed trade (seeds were sent to me by heirloom gardener, Volkan Yalazay). Re-grown and re-introduced by Birhan Erkutlu and Tuba Gunal who used to live in Istanbul and moved to area after purchasing land in the region, leaving the city life behind. The seeds were recovered by them from an eco-village in France.

Excellent flavor, outstanding production, this is an impressive tomato. First three pictures below belong to the same plant and were taken on the same day. Kopek Hayasi means "Dog's Balls" in Turkish, by the way

I will release the seeds for this variety through our catalog, soon.
