An old heirloom variety, this unique tomato is very flavorful and sweet, yet has a zingy and well-balanced taste that isn’t too acidic. Mature fruits are a mature golden green with forest green stripes. Imagine what a fantastic contrast they make in salads with red tomatoes! The tennis-ball sized fruit has very smooth skin that is essentially free of cracks, weighing in at 3 oz. and reaching up to 3” in diameter. How do you tell when a green tomato is ripe? The green color will turn a little more golden and the fruit will feel softer. This packet plants: 20 plants (after thinning).
When to plant outside: Generally started indoors, tomatoes can also be directly seeded outside! Sow in spring, after the average last spring frost and when soil temperatures reach 60 degrees. In warm winter/hot summer areas of the south, southwest, and parts of California, they can also be planted in early fall for winter harvest.
When to start inside: 6-9 weeks before the average last spring frost.
Special Sowing & Germination Instructions: when planting seedlings outside, bury the roots and stem up to the first set of leaves horizontally. Curve the stem above the ground to a vertical position. The stem will sprout roots and develop a strong root system.
