It seemed that, following the gender rule for adjectives and nouns in French, the spelling would have been \u201cNoir.\u201d In fact, my seed packet that was purchased from a vendor did spell it that way. Tom Wagner is the breeder, however, and he was able to tell me the correct way he named this variety:<br \/>\n\u201cThe \u2018Spring Noire\u2019 is correct by English standards of gender. Besides my naming conventions are a hyphenated style ie Spring \u2013 Noire Reflects the pedigree Oregon Spring as the female.. Ananas Noire as the male The breeder has the say on the given name&#8230;.PERIOD The name reflects my thoughts and not French language per se.&#8221;<br \/>\nSome may describe the appearance of Spring Noire a tricolor, but to me it is a bicolor green-when-ripe flesh with red. It probably gets more golden than my photo shows when ripening on the plant in the heat&#8230;I had to pick these early due to the voracious insects. The epidermis is yellow, and I found the flesh succulent and deliciously sweet, an excellent flavor. The appearance strongly reminds me of the Ananas Noir (Noire? \u201cAnanas\u201d is masculine\u2026should be Noir? I could go round and round here\u2026) parent. I did have far greater success growing Spring Noire than I did trying to grow Ananas Noir. Naming issues aside, this is an excellent tomato.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":7866,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[31,28,12,46],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-7865","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-beefsteak","product_cat-bicolor","product_cat-bunny-hop-seeds","product_cat-green","first","outofstock","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/7865","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7866"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7865"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=7865"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=7865"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=7865"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
