Kabobi


From Iran. Small plants with a moderate fruitset of small to medium sized fruit. Very similar in taste to Round Lemon, also from Iran. It is interesting to note regional differences. While Filipino varieties have a tendency towards high acidity, all four of the Southwest Asian varieties I have grown have been decidedly sweet.  Kabobi is no exception and fans of sweet tomatoes will enjoy this variety.


Round Lemon


From Iran. Medium sized, moderately productive plants. Definitely on the sweet side of balanced but a hint of acid keeps it from being a one dimensional flavor. Medium sized, thick walled fruits resist cracking and are well suited for a variety of purposes.
