I started my Wherokowhai seeds in late January and I had 100% germination (72 cell seed tray with Sungro Black Gold seedling mix. Put on a heat mat and kept covered and moist. Removed cover and removed from heat when about half of the seeds had sprouted). I now have vibrantly healthy plants and they're growing great in containers. I've just transferred them outdoors because my last freeze passed. I'm so in love with these seeds, I've just ordered 5 more packs!

Received All items… can’t wait to get growing this Spring…will be growing these in my new GreenStalk planters

Slow shipping but excellent quality and prices

I've grown this for several years. Sturdy bushes need short but sturdy support up to about 3 to 3-1/2 feet. At first I got one superb tomato....worth a whole plant to itself. But this year it was my most productive tomato bearing over a long season, with many large (not huge) multicolored tomatoes: both inside and outside. Complex lovely flavor. A feast for the eyes AND the taste buds!
The pronunciation is fun too: fer-doe-ke-fee, being from New Zealand.

I live in Southern California with a long growing season. In a garden full of a large variety of tomatoes, the Wherokowhai seemed to be the variety that got all the diseases. It didn't do well at all. The leaves either quickly browned or had white mold on them, yet the other varieties of tomatoes right next to them did great.
