Extinct Tomatoes & Why Species Matter More Than Varieties
Update: 2025-10-05
Description
Dr. Russell Sharp recounts reintroducing extinct tomato varieties like the Blaby Special and Manx Marvel, then examines the relative value of preserving heritage cultivars versus conserving whole wild species and their genetic diversity.
He argues that wild species and ancestral strains often hold more crucial genetic value for future breeding and that species-level conservation should be prioritised, while inviting listener feedback and pointing to Eutrema Ltd for hydroponics resources.
