Details
This tomato variety is celebrated for its abundant yield of 6-10 oz. reddish-orange fruits with reddish-pink flesh, and its exceptional storage quality has secured its spot in our garden. To achieve the highest quality fruit, it's recommended to stake the plants. Originating from Louisiana, USA, it was specifically selected for its remarkable storage capability, capable of lasting several months in a dark room at a constant temperature. The round fruits undergo a unique color transition during ripening from green to whitish, then orange, and finally to pale red when fully mature. Featuring a hard and thick skin, the flesh is very firm and dense, delivering a taste superior to any supermarket tomato.
