‘Wildling Panamorous’ Tomato, organic seeds (Solanum lycopersicum)

Solanum lycopersicum

Wildling Panamorous is an interspecies population from Joseph Lofthouse’s project, combining domestic tomatoes with Solanum habrochaites and Solanum pennellii . Seedlings may produce very different leaves, habits, and fruit. Colours range from green to purple, and sizes mostly from cherry to saladette. Gaia lists 70 to 80 days to maturity, but height and habit vary in the source. Some plants may show blight resistance without a guarantee. The packet contains approximately 25 organic seeds, lot GO24049. Wildling Panamorous comes from Joseph Lofthouse’s project and blends domestic tomatoes with Solanum habrochaites and Solanum pennellii. This open-pollinated mix produces broad diversity in leaf shape, fruit colour, fruit size, and plant habit.

‘Wildling Panamorous’ Tomato, organic seeds (Solanum lycopersicum) Also called Panamorous Wildling, this interspecies mix comes from Joseph Lofthouse’s project and combines domestic tomatoes with Solanum habrochaites and Solanum pennellii. It produces broad diversity in leaf shape, fruit colour—green, pink, red, yellow, orange, white, or purple—and fruit size, mostly from cherry to saladette. The packet contains approximately 25 open-pollinated organic heirloom seeds certified by Ecocert Canada, lot GO24049, with reported germination above 85%. Each seedling offers a genuine opportunity to observe a different combination of visible and growing traits.

Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before transplanting, approximately 1/8 to 1/4 inch deep. Gaia lists germination in 5 to 10 days from 21 to 32°C, with an optimum of 23 to 29°C, while noting that germination may be erratic in this mix. Provide bright light immediately after emergence. During hardening off, reduce watering and nitrogen gradually without allowing plants to wilt. Transplant after frost risk has passed into warm, fertile, well-drained soil with 24 to 36 inches of spacing. Install an adaptable cage or stake at planting and label each individual plant.

Gaia lists 70 to 80 days to maturity, but individual plants may differ. Habit ranges from dwarf to large and may be determinate, semi-determinate, or indeterminate, even though the label also adds “indeterminate.” Height varies in the source: one table lists 4 to 6 feet, while the back label lists 2 to 3 feet. Some plants may show blight resistance, without a guarantee for every seedling. Harvest each fruit after its own colour becomes fully developed. Ripe fruit is edible, but keep leaves, stems, and green tomatoes away from pets.

Practical guide

How to use it

Uses in the garden

Grow Wildling Panamorous in full sun in a fertile, well-drained plot. Preserve 24 to 36 inches between plants and leave enough access for the largest individuals. Use adaptable cages because the mix may produce dwarf, determinate, semi-determinate, or indeterminate plants. Water deeply at soil level and mulch after the soil warms. Number each plant and observe its habit, foliage, fruit colour, fruit size, and response to local conditions. Possible blight resistance should be evaluated plant by plant without being assumed. Wildling Panamorous comes from Joseph Lofthouse’s project and blends domestic tomatoes with Solanum habrochaites and Solanum pennellii. This open-pollinated mix produces broad diversity in leaf shape, fruit colour, fruit size, and plant habit. Fruit may be green, pink, red, yellow, orange, white, or purple and ranges mostly from cherry to saladette size. Plants may be dwarf or large, with determinate, semi-determinate, or indeterminate growth. Gaia also prints indeterminate on the label, but the mix’s variable habit remains the most precise description. Height also varies in the source: one table lists 4 to 6 feet, while the back label lists 2 to 3 feet. Some plants may show blight resistance, but this trait is not guaranteed for every seedling.

Frequently asked questions

01 How many Wildling Panamorous tomato seeds are in the packet?
The Gaia packet contains approximately 25 Wildling Panamorous seeds certified organic by Ecocert Canada. Lot GO24049 reports germination above 85% while noting that emergence may be erratic in this mix. Gaia identifies the population as annual, heirloom, and open-pollinated. Because the quantity is approximate, a small variation may occur. Each plant may show a different habit, foliage, fruit colour, and fruit size. Keep the packet with seedlings and number plants so the mix and lot remain correctly identified. Wildling Panamorous comes from Joseph Lofthouse’s project and blends domestic tomatoes with Solanum habrochaites and Solanum pennellii. This open-pollinated mix produces broad diversity in leaf shape, fruit colour, fruit size, and plant habit.
02 How should Wildling Panamorous tomato seeds be started?
Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before transplanting, approximately 1/8 to 1/4 inch deep in clean, moist seed-starting mix. Gaia lists germination in 5 to 10 days from 21 to 32°C, with an optimum of 23 to 29°C, but notes that emergence may be erratic. Keep the mix moist without standing water and provide bright light immediately after emergence. Harden plants off by gradually reducing water and nitrogen without allowing wilt. Transplant after frost risk has passed with 24 to 36 inches of spacing, adaptable support, and a numbered label. Wildling Panamorous comes from Joseph Lofthouse’s project and blends domestic tomatoes with Solanum habrochaites and Solanum pennellii.
03 Why can Wildling Panamorous germination be erratic?
Wildling Panamorous is a highly diverse interspecies population, and Gaia notes that germination may be erratic. Lot GO24049 nevertheless reports a rate above 85%, without guaranteeing that every seed emerges at the same time or under all conditions. Keep the mix from 21 to 32°C, with an optimum of 23 to 29°C, and maintain consistent moisture without saturation. Preserve suitable conditions for the full listed 5-to-10-day period and slightly longer if some seeds lag. Label each seedling so differences among plants can be followed. Wildling Panamorous comes from Joseph Lofthouse’s project and blends domestic tomatoes with Solanum habrochaites and Solanum pennellii.
04 What height and support should be expected for Wildling Panamorous?
Provide a large adaptable cage and allow 24 to 36 inches between plants. The population may produce dwarf-to-large individuals with determinate, semi-determinate, or indeterminate growth. Height conflicts in the Gaia source: one table lists 4 to 6 feet, while the back label lists 2 to 3 feet. A tall cage therefore covers the variability better than a short fixed stake. Place plants in full sun, tie stems with soft material, and adjust support as each individual’s actual habit becomes visible. Wildling Panamorous comes from Joseph Lofthouse’s project and blends domestic tomatoes with Solanum habrochaites and Solanum pennellii. This open-pollinated mix produces broad diversity in leaf shape, fruit colour, fruit size, and plant habit.
05 When should Wildling Panamorous tomatoes be harvested?
Harvest each fruit after its own colour becomes fully developed because the mix may produce green, pink, red, yellow, orange, white, or purple tomatoes. Gaia lists 70 to 80 days to maturity, with possible variation among plants. Fruit that has begun changing colour can finish ripening off the vine above 21°C. Arrange fruit in one layer and inspect it often. Record the source plant if you want to compare flavour, size, or earliness. Refrigerate cut portions promptly.
