AMOS COLI TOMATO STORY as told by Brad Gates (Wild Boar Farms owner).
Large Meaty Paste Heirloom. Very Good Production. Dense Meaty with Great Well Balanced Flavor. Great for Fresh Eating, Canning and Sauce. Given to me at the 2012 National Heirloom Exposition in Santa Rosa, CA.

While working my booth, I was approached by Mr. Amos Coli, 86 years young, Italian born man with quite a tomato passion. He had brought with him several of his prized tomatoes; a variety he had been keeping alive for 59 years. The tomatoes where a large, plump and dense paste shape. The shiny red skin could not contain the rich tomato fragrance the erupted from within. After a short chat in the crowded and loud Hall I asked if I could have one of his prize fruits. The reply was more than I expected. Not only would he give me one, but was hoping I would keep the variety alive. He had been trying to do so for almost 6 decades and was looking to pass the torch, as it would be a shame to loose this tomato. A week later, I received a call from Amos; luckily I slipped him a card. I was hoping to get more information and hopefully more tomatoes. Arrangements were made to meet and I was soon talking with Amos in his garden located in Forestville where he now lives.
Mr. Coli lived most of his day in the santa clara valley, once famous for agriculture, now mostly subdivisions. It was there, almost 60 years ago that Amos got from a man named John whom had developed the variety from a cross he had made 40 to 50 years prior. That would put this variety at 100-110 years old.

Supply is limited and I am glad to help Amos in seeing this great variety live forever. 5+ seeds...Thank You for your interest.
