Aunt Ruby's German Green (heirloom slicer)
(85 days) Heirloom. Indeterminate. Until you try it, you won’t believe a green tomato could be this good! This tomato offers hints of lemon-lime flavor. (Think Sprite without the carbon fizz). Aunt Ruby’s is not just the best green eating tomato, it also makes a delicious basis for salsa verde or toppings on tacos!
Oblate 12–16 oz fruits blush lightly yellow with green and develop an amber-pink tinge on the blossom end when ripe. Don’t allow them to get too soft before picking. Flavor deteriorates when cold weather sets in. These tomatoes tend to produce more vines than fruit. Originally from Ruby Arnold’s German immigrant grandfather, introduced in the 1993 Seed Savers Exchange Yearbook by Bill Minkey of Darien, Wisc. Nominated to Slow Food’s Ark of Taste.
Grown in 3 1/2" pot
