Joe Atkinson

Semi-determinate. Donated by tomato expert Terry Marshall. Joe Atkinson was a gardener from Bingley, West Yorkshire, who made his own selection from a variety available during the 1940s, and had grown it regularly since 1949. Produces red, ribbed fruits that are juicy and have excellent flavour. HSL member Jane Hickman says they are “great fresh, but also good for cooking". If seed saving, isolate from other tomatoes that have flowers with protruding stigma.
