Bred by Tom Wagner, US plant breeder from WA and the owner of Tater-Mater Seeds, a cross of Yellow Banana. Commercially introduced by K. Sahin, Netherlands, in 1998, and by Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds in 2004. This stunning tomato is an elongated paste that is creamy white to pale yellow in color. It has meaty flesh with a sweet, mild flavor. The bushy plants are very productive and are excellent for containers. Makes delicious sauce and salsa.
