Aunt Ruby’s German Green

A family heirloom from Ruby Arnold of Greeneville, Tennessee. Heavy producer of 1 pound pale green fruits. Excellent sweet and spicy flavor. Harvest when fruits are soft to the touch. Great for slicing with fresh mozzarella, and basil. This variety is not easy to find.”I tried this variety as a experiment. I had forgotten to label the plant which I planted late in the season. I was pleasantly surprised when these large green tomatoes starting showing up. I kept waiting for them to ripen (turn red) then realized they were ripening/green. The taste was great. I took some to church (dozen) and got great raves the next week. There were some who did not believe they were ripe as green, I just chuckled as I listen to them plan how to make them red (still chuckling two weeks later). One plant produced two dozen plus, 6-8oz fruits.” – Gregory Davis
