BEST TASTING ORANGE!
Not yellow, but orange fruits are considerably variable in size and shape - averaging just under a pound but several were approaching the two pound mark. They are meaty, firm-textured, and of superior flavor. A great slicing tomato and would make an outrageous juice!
HISTORY: Originally sent to Craig LeHoullier in 1992 by John D. Green, the same gentleman who sent him 'Cherokee Purple'. Craig was the first to make it available to the general public. Mr. Green stated that Dr. Wyche sent him this variety just before he passed away in 1985. Dr. Wyche had actually called it 'Hot Yellow' but after his passing, and prior to its commercial release, it was renamed in his honor.
Sold in a 3.5" pot.
