"A very rare English heirloom that was developed by the John Innes Institute in England in the 1940’s. Puck is a very dwarf variety that is excellent for growing in pots. The red fruit average 1 oz in size and have good taste. Great for short season and coastal climates. Determinate, rugose foliage. (55 days from transplant) "
Does anybody have any experience with this variety ?
Any comments of how it goes etc.

And it makes sense that it would be from Branscom, trust me on that
Currently being offered at Sandhil lPreservation,, from England, developed before 1950.
You already have the seeds but here's the link to Sandhill anyway.They do not send out seeds all year long
Glenn says acid tasting, but not tart, and no mention of rugose foliage. Perhaps Linda,his wife,forgot to enter it? And that since Glenn defines rugose at the beginning of his tomato section and knows very well what it looks like.. And in the introduction to the tomato section in the annual SSE Yearbook,the tomato section is the largest section,some 400 pages long .
