    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    These HUGEgolden yellow heirloom tomatoes are fairly late to mature (about 80 days,) but once you take a bite you’ll realize it was well worth the wait! The HANDS-DOWN favorite at the tomato-tasting we had at the nursery last Summer, the largest fruit can weigh nearly 1 lb. each & it is commonly agreed that the flavor is absolutely amazing. These tomatoes start off pale yellow with green stripes – gorgeous! When they turn orange-gold, they’re ripe & ready. Best grown somewhere that will give them a good blast of summer heat.
