seeds plants vegetable pepper tomato A German heirloom, these green tomato seeds were brought to the US by Ruby Arnold's family of Greeneville, TN. Later, her niece, who always referred to these beauties as "Aunt Ruby's", passed on the seeds to friends and neighbors who admired and enjoyed these tomatoes for years. A wonderful family history and tradition that you now can be a part of, Aunt Ruby's German Green Tomato seeds produce tall, sturdy plants bearing large (12-16 oz) beefsteak-type fruits. Look for this green tomato to soften as it ripens, it will also develop a slight amber blush. - One of the largest green beefsteaks. Can grow to over 1 pound and are just delicious. They have brilliant, neon-green flesh with a strong, sweet, and fruity flavor, much tastier than most red tomatoes. This family heirloom from Germany is beautiful. The winner of the 2003 Heirloom Garden Show's taste test.
