Details
This gorgeous plum tomato has gold and red wavy stripes. They are beautiful in salads and have a very good flavor, being a mixture of tart and sweet. These tomatoes have a good shelf life with thick skin, and the plants produce tomato clusters of 2-5 at 1-2 oz. each. They have a rich red color inside, are meaty, have very few seeds, and almost no juice. This makes Casady’s Folly perfect for canning and sauces! Tom Wagner of Everett, Washington bred this variety. Tom Wagner named it in memory of his friend Mark Casady.
