Old German
Tomato Seed
A favorite old heirloom tomato variety that originated in a Mennonite community in Virginia. A great big slicing tomato, Old German is both delicious and beautiful with succulent, meaty fruit and golden streaked, reddish skin. Hearty 1 lb. heirloom boasts beautiful color outside… extraordinarily sweet, yellow/red flesh with few seeds inside! One of the best-tasting slicers you can grow.
