Mushroom Basket Tomatoes are large; they weight an average from 8 to 16 ounces. Their skin is a deep watermelon-pink shade with cream-colored speckles. Their maturity date is about 80 - 85 days after transplant. Start as you would any other tomato, 6-8 weeks before putting outside. This variety is not cold tolerant even though it comes from Eastern Europe and dates back to late 1700s.  Mushroom Basket tomatoes are cute as a bell! Their look and shape is very unique, hence the name Mushroom Basket. Cooking wise, Mushroom Basket Tomatoes are more savory than sweet; they are great for cooking sauces! The seeds will grow true.
