Tomato 'Aunt Rubys German Green' 23W31 Tomato S1-
Tomato 'Aunt Rubys German Green' 23W31 Tomato S1- (Heirloom) Tomato, Mature plant size: 80day, GREEN, USDA Hardiness Zone Veg, Michigan Bloom Week ISO WW31, In Garden Bed S1 for 133 DAYS (NGA). Planted in 2023.
80 day HEIRLOOM Indeterminate The green fruit become amber tinged when fully ripe. Slices are lime green, resembling a sliced kiwi, and the flavor is terrific, spicy and sweet. Fruits are 5 inches by 4 inches and many weigh over a pound.
Victory Seeds: This family heirloom was introduced to the general public by Ruby E. Arnold (1915-1997) of Greeneville, Tennessee. According to the family, they are not sure how, when or why the "German" got added to the name of this variety. They are not from Germany and they have no known German ancestry. They speculate that Ruby's may have selected her tomato from a now unknown variety from seed originally sourced from a German-speaking Amish seedsman in their area named Ivan Snapp.
2023 note: seedlings were not a strong as the other tomatoes that I started. But, in the garden looked really good and was one of the first to produce ripe fruit. Great tasting tomato.
