Sisters ???

MObigfoot · July 29, 2009

Can anyone tell me about the origin/history of the tomato variety named Sisters. How well would it do in Mid-Missouri-USA? Is it related to 3 Sisters? Where can I buy seed.

Thanks,

Tomatofest carries it:

I do not think it is related to the Three Sisters cultivar that
Seeds of Change carries, that can yield plants of 3 different
shapes: a beefsteak, a globe, and a roma-like tomato.

Thanks Dice, I did see that TomatoFest carries it. From the description it sounds like a nice Beefsteak variety. I was just wondering if this was a new variety that TomatoFest developed and sold exclusively.

I did not find any discussion of the history of the Sisters
cultivar.

Seeds of Change probably has some history on Three Sisters
somewhere, Google had a few links to newsletters that
mentioned it, but their web server seems to be having issues.
I could not connect to it last night or this morning.

(Searching for information on it is complicated by all of the
sites that mention "the Three Sisters" traditional gardening
method and "tomato" on the same page.)
