In the world of tomatoes, many varieties labeled as "yellow" often lean more toward pale hues or orange tones. AliceAnn, however, is a true, vibrant yellow heart through and through.

Heavy fruits just under a pound each are extremely meaty with few seeds. Flavor is sweet, yet with balanced acid.

Plants are tough as nails, yet scraggily indictative of the wispy-leaf foliage and definately require caging versus staking. Fruits hang on the vine forever without degradation - deepening in color by the third week (yes, they really don't degrade for that long).

HISTORY: AliceAnn traces its roots to August 2022, when Alice S. of Harsens Island, MI (age 85) discovered an unusual tomato in her garden. The first photo (above) was taken on her kitchen table that very day. Originally nicknamed Alice’s Yellow Heart, it was later renamed AliceAnn, her given name, as affectionately used by her daughter.

 

Since then a couple dozen plants have been grown, all producing identical fruits. However, in summer 2024, Alice unintentionally grew the variety again, but her fruits were consistently half the size of the originals. After reviewing notes and observations, it appears AliceAnn may be a natural bee-cross involving Green Zebra, Yellow Pear, and Oxheart, all derived from Alice’s saved seeds. Interestingly, her smaller fruits were grown from seeds labeled Green Zebra, adding to the ongoing mystery of its genetic background.

 

One thing is certain—AliceAnn is a one-of-a-kind treasure in the tomato world!
