Reds Maya & Sion’s Airdrie Classic Early Midseason Potato Leaf Dr. Carolyn Male provided me the F2 seeds of a cross between a large and very tasty pink beefsteak- Brandywine- and a very early smaller red tomato- Stupice. The original cross was done by Stanley Zubrowski (Saskatchewan) in 1999. I have been growing out this tomato since 2004 outside in my Zone 3a garden, selecting each time for the best combination of earliness and flavour. For the last couple of years it has been coming in a week to 10 days later than Stupice. I have named this tomato in honour of my daughter- Maya and my son- Sion, the city I live in- Airdrie and what I consider to be true Classic tomato taste. Maya and Sion’s Airdrie Classic will produce red, oblate fruits with ribbing that weigh between 6 and 14 ozs.(170g-400g) and hang in clusters of 4-8.
