Green Varieties for 2011

Green Zebra (Not technically an heirloom – developed in 1985  by California tomato breeder Tom Wagner.) (75-80 days) Yellow and green 3″ fruits with dark green vertical stripes. Emerald green flesh is juicy, sweet, zingy, yet mild. A bit exotic. Semi-determinate.

Emerald Evergreen Mid-season. (75 days) Some claim it to be the best-tasting green tomato in the beefsteak size (8-10 oz). Rich olive-green fruits ripen to a brighter shade of green with a golden yellow tint. Great for slicing, frying or  conserves. The original heirloom green and yellow striped beefsteak tomato with wonderful full flavor. Introduced by Glecklers Seed in 1949 and hugely popular in the specialty markets and with top chefs. Indeterminate

Aunt Ruby’s German Green (80 days) Reportedly from Ruby Arnold of Greenville, Tennessee. Beefsteak sized fruits are five inches in diameter and weigh one pound or more. Sweet juicy, refreshingly spicy flavour. Indeterminate.

Lime Green Salad (81 days) A bush type variety that produces 2-4 oz salad type fruit. Indeterminate. SORRY – SOLD OUT FOR 2011

Green Sausage (80 days) Would you believe it? A green paste tomato. Beautiful, striped, 4″ long sausage-shaped fruits are very dense and meaty. Bushy plants are quite prolific so you will have lots for salads and some tasty fresh green salsa.
