Aunt Ruby's German Green

tuttamatta · September 27, 2008

Hello out there to all of you,
I hope that somebody can help me with this dilemma:
I purchased a tomato plant from a reputable source this spring, the tag said AUNT RUBY'S, as of today the plant is doing great, about 7' tall with some large fruits on it.
2 days ago I picked the second fruit, 12.7 oz. very nice and solid, but it's not green, more like an orangy red.
The first was the same color and did not think too much about it, but now I really have to question it...from what I see in catalogs it should be green with a yellow tint.....is there such a thing as an Aunt Ruby's Red?
I really feel that this plant was mismarked or.....?????
Help!!!!!
