Slightly flattened, 3/4 to 1 lb fruits ripen from the expected pale green to a shiny green shoulders on top of yellow/green bottoms with a slight pink blush that extends to the interior flesh when fully mature.
Superb, fruity sweet and slightly spicy flavor! Considered by many to be the finest-tasting green tomato. I have a customer that uses only this tomato for his special pesto.
FRUITS ARE BEST PICKED BY FEEL, NOT SIGHT. WHEN THE FRUITS ARE SOFT(ISH) TO THE TOUCH, THEY ARE READY!
HISTORY: This variety comes from the preservation efforts of Ruby Arnold of Greeneville, Tennessee who passed away in 1997.
