Plant produces good yields of 1 lb apricot-orange tomatoes. The tomatoes are very juicy with yellow interior. Serve slices on a platter for a delicious gourmet dish. Tomato is relatively crack free. A great heirloom variety, meaty fruit with balanced flavor.

The Patio Orange Tomato is a perfectly shaped, orange colored cherry tomato that is perfect for growing in containers due to their compact, but stocky vines.
Paul Robeson
Blemish-free deep maroon fruit; the absolute best flavor, the King of heirlooms. Yields an abundance of beautiful blackish-red tomatoes of a beefsteak shape in the 7 to 10 ounce range.
Peacevine Cherry
Highest vitamin C content in a cherry tomato. Grows tresses of many small 3/4", delicious, red tomatoes on 2-3 ft. vines that just keep fruiting. Uniquely high in gamma-amino butyric acid, a body sedative that calms jitters. Very sweet, small red fruit; fantastic production!
Persimmon
The strong, indeterminate vines of this heirloom bear huge, beefsteak-type, slicing tomatoes that ripen toward the end of summer. The lovely, peachy-orange colors deepen from its softly dented, light green shoulders to the bottom of its plump, globe-shaped fruit.
Striped German
Incredibly beautiful tomato with flavor to match. Huge, bicolored and ribbed fruit. Yellow with red starting at blossom end. Striking slicer with fruity taste. Good in coastal climates.
