Starting 25+ year old 'Walter' Seed - Page 4

greenthumbomaha · February 14, 2018

I too am resurrecting this old thread. I hope you were successful, sirtanon, in your effort.

I am organizing my seeds and I came across a packet marked WALTER 16. I believe I received it in the MMMM swap last year. Did anyone grow this and what did they get as a result? Is this a red slicer growing on a bush that grows to 2 feet?

I've found very little, everything points to a different (?) variety: Dr. Walter.

No luck on the batch from a few months ago.. Just about all of my other tomato seeds came up, but I got 0/50 from the Walter seeds. I will be trying another batch soon, however.
