Details

This ancient heirloom hails from the hills of West Virginia, where they know a superb tomato when they see one! Huge, mild-flavored, beefsteak-type fruits weigh 1 to 2 lbs. apiece, and are colored a most unusual orange- yellow, streaked and mottled in attractive shades of red and pink. These make lively additions to salad platters because the multi-colors continue inside the fruit. Excellent for salads and sandwiches. Enjoy a big harvest from this heavy producer.
