Tomate Citron

Indeterminate vines produce ripe fruits early to mid seasoning about70 days from transplant. The “Tomate Citron” is known by several other names: Plum Lemon, Wonder of the World, Worlds Wonder, and Wonder Light. It is a Russian heirloom. The original Russian name is Чудо света (Chudo sveta). The words translate to ‘Wonder, and either ‘World’ and ‘light’, depending on context. In context, it would be wrong to use the translation as ‘light’ for the name, so it should be called ‘Wonder of the World’.
