Update time! You all asked for it so I decided it was probably time to do an update on the 87 year old tomato. We Have found out some stuff since our last update:
1. The early crimson is indeed an extinct tomato variety
2. It is a regular leaf tomato
3. It is very VERY picky and will let you know if you are doing something it doesn’t like.

I can't wait when and if you get to the point of selling seeds. I want some! Great story!
STOP TOUCHING THE PLANT
are you trying to hold a world record?
SOOOO, what was the end result of this ??? 🙂 very curious.
How can it be so old and look so small???
It can't be extinct if you have a living plant in your basement ;D
Take care of it, ey, it'll be a heavy burden to bare if it dies 🙁
So I’m new to the 87 yr old Tomato plant what’s its story?
How's the plant doing now?
Yes, I’ve enjoyed watching this grow from a seed. Very exciting!
Nice postal service container!
Why is the 87 year old plant so short only? N no fruits yet?
only 1 sprout from whole seed packets?
Hello. I am a newbie here. So is this a plant that has been rooted/cloned from the original 87 times? Is there a way to leave a tomatoe in the ground and it survive year after year becoming a perennial? Maybe with a mini green house?

87 years old aye nice scam
will there be seeds for sale?
Clone this. ?
The biggest stressor for me was when you were smothering it with your hands
Did you only get one plant from all those seeds?
I just now saw this in 2021. I hope you get a ping. Did you successfully keep a clone line of this tomato? Did you get seeds that were purebred?
what it means? 87 years tomato plant? I don't get it.
Bought the first round of seeds. I'm excited. Now scared I will screw this up.
Have you considered that its age may have other unforseen problems, that maybe 87 years ago it was a less robust strain and in that time tomatoes have just become in general stronger?
Luke, just went on Google to find this variety named. Then went utube & found your video. Wow, what wonderful thing you have done, for us tomato Lovers. God has blessed you, for getting this variety back to life. I haven't checked to see if have seeds yet, just wanted to thank you for your hard work. Jeff
