| Solanum esculentum 'Aunt Ruby's German Green' | |
| Species: | Solanum esculentum |
| Cultivar: | Aunt Ruby's German Green |
| Breeder: | Ruby Arnold |
| Origin: | Greeneville, Tennessee |
Aunt Ruby's German Green heirloom tomatoes are a cultivar originating with Ruby Arnold (d 1997), of Greeneville, Tennessee,[1] but achieving great Seed Savers popularity. They are, as the name implies, "green" tomatoes, which really means they are a greenish yellow when fully ripe, but are still tasty when picked early.
This tomato cultivar is an indeterminate plant that produces large (8-) beefsteak fruit of especially irregular shapes, in somewhere between 69 and 80 days. This fruit won the Heirloom Garden Show's taste test, in 2003.[2]
