Abe Lincoln Tomato
Abe Lincoln Tomato is an heirloom, open-pollinated variety that was introduced in 1923. The variety was named after Abraham Lincoln, who was from Illinois where the variety was developed. This variety has excellent disease-resistance for an heirloom tomato, including resistance to early blight and alternaria stem canker.
Abe Lincoln Tomato is an indeterminate variety with large plants that will continually produce throughout the warm growing season. Fruits can get as large as 1 lb each and grow in massive clusters, with up to 9 tomatoes per cluster. This is a great slicing variety for tomato sandwiches, but also is the preferred variety by many for canning and making sauces. The fruits have a slightly acidic flavor and have a uniform ripeness with no green shoulders.
