Tomato - Abraham Lincoln (seeds)

The Abraham Lincoln tomato is an intriguing heirloom variety known for its distinctive flavor and historical significance. Here’s what you need to know about this classic tomato:
 
Description
The original ‘Abraham Lincoln’ was a late-maturing variety introduced around 1923. However, the early season introduction (circa 1975) ripens 10 to 12 days earlier, has smaller fruit, and lacks the bronze-green foliage characteristic of the original. Flavor-wise, it is slightly acidic but distinctive. The red, medium-sized fruits are uniform and free of defects. Highly recommended where foliage disease is a concern. Resistant to early blight and alternaria stem canker.
