Details
Uniform, golden-orange globes are so smooth and uniform they look like a commercial variety, but these have a rich, full, tomato flavor that is missing in modern varieties, being both sweet and tangy. Productive vines yield lots of 8 to 10-oz. fruit that excel at markets; great for fresh use and sauce. This tomato was preserved by the late Ben Quisenberry.
