Favorite large tomato variety

Natertom92 · April 23, 2018

My choice of my personal top 3 favorites out of 10 are giant Belgium, delicious and big rainbow. What's everyone else's favorite large tomato variety of their top 3 choice large tomato out of 10 on their list.

My favorite varieties that "I think of as large" are Black Krim, Anna Margaret's Heart, and Rebel Yell. If they are not thought of as large - you all are growing huge tomatoes

Mine are Rebel Yell, Terhune, and Dotson's Lebanese Heart. Perhaps I am a bit biased

Stump of the World, Pruden's Purple, Chapman, Dester, Neves Azorean, Black Giant, Kellogg's Breakfast, Dr Wyche are some of my favorites. I can not name just one.

I really like all three of those.

Fred Hempel's Jazz varieties usually make some huge fruit for me, especially in the right weather.

German Queen and Big Zac

Brutus, Owen's Purple, Rebel Yell from last year's harvest. It may change this year.

Dester, Wes, KBX, Aunt Ruby’s German Green, Stump of the World, any of the Brandywines (though Sudduth’s and Cowlick’s top the list).

Anna Margaret's Heart is my favorite as it is a reminder of my aunt for which it was named. Wes and George Detsikas Italian Red are two others that I have grown and enjoyed.

I have clicked on this thread many times - did you notice how many times "Rebel Yell" has made a top 3 three list?

George, I apologize for my typo. I'm sure you understand why I did knowing that it is named after your aunt, It is Anna Margaret's Heart.

If any of you all like heart tomatoes, it's pretty nice watching heart tomatoes growing in clusters like cherry tomatoes, but they are huge.

No offense taken, Robert. I just wanted to mention why I was partial to that variety.

Another favorite of mine is old German, pink ponderosa and crimson cushion aka red ponderosa
