Old German Organic Tomato

Old German Organic tomato produces huge fruit striped with red and gold colours reminiscent of a Caribbean sunset. These delicious beefsteaks are fantastic sliced to compliment any meal with a gorgeous splash of colour. This variety originates from a Mennonite community in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia circa the mid 1800's. The Mennonites take great pride in preserving their heritage, faith, and way of life and are responsible for cultivating many excellent heirloom vegetable varieties. The seeds came into commercial production in 1985. The hearty potato leaf plants often grow to 2.4-3m (8-10') tall. Plants produce moderate yields of up to 900g (2 lb.) fragrant, decorative and nearly seedless tomatoes. Sturdy staking is required to support the large vines and heavy fruit. It's important to note this variety is not drought tolerant.
