Slightly flattened,  3/4 to 1 lb fruits start off with the expected pale green color eventually RIPENING TO a shiny green with darker shoulders on top of yellow/green bottoms.

 

[Note, that by the time that the yellowish-green bottoms are present, the fruits are very mature - maybe almost so.]

 

Sliced, mature fruits will have a slight pink blush on the interior flesh.

 

Superb, fruity sweet and slightly acidic flavor! Considered by many to be the finest-tasting green-when-ripe tomato. 

 

FRUITS ARE BEST PICKED BY FEEL, NOT SIGHT. WHEN THE FRUITS ARE SOFT(ISH) TO THE TOUCH, THEY ARE READY! It is far better to pick this variety a bit soon and allow to fully ripen on the counter as opposed to leaving them on the vipe. A good deal of waste will be avoided by doing so.


HISTORY: This variety comes from the preservation efforts of Ruby Arnold of Greeneville, Tennessee who passed away in 1997.

 

Sold in a 3.5" pot.
