Abstract

A new and distinct variety of paste-type hybrid tomato plant ( Solanum lycopersicum×Capsicum anuum ‘Esas’) is described that is believed derived in part from an Amish tomato, and in part from a Big Bertha Pepper. This hybrid tomato ‘Esas’ has 2-4 lobes similar to a pepper, a hardy skin, and remains on the vine when ripe until frost. When picked ripe, this tomato lasts longer without rotting than normal tomatoes. Some of these tomatoes have been eaten after 1 to 8 months from picking. The fruit usually shrinks inside itself after some time from picking.
