Identifying Mystery Yellow Beefsteak
Greetings. I'm new to the TV forum, but thought someone might be able to help ID a yellow beefsteak I grew last summer. I've attached a few pics...
Deep yellow fruit were generally 10-12 oz. with some as much as a pound. They were borne on very large RL plants. 2009 was a very cold, wet year, but I'm guessing its a early/main crop tomato - it ripened before most of our other full-size tomatoes and bore up until frost. I found it to be prone to BER. The taste was exquisite--not too juicy, not too sweet--I'd say it was succulent and meaty--unique, unlike other tomatoes I've tasted. In terms of color--pretty much what you see in the pics--definitely not a bicolor. My wife purchased it as Gramma Climen Haga but I'm almost certain that's incorrect. According to what I've found, Gramma is smaller and does not have the pleating of mine. I saved seeds, but my guess is that it was simply mislabeled. Any thoughts? |
