Tomato – Aunt Ruby’s German Green

Description

Type: Green Beefsteak

Indeterminate

Exposure: Full Sun

Water Needs: Tomato plants need consistent watering in order to avoid split fruit – water whenever the soil is dry; in the full heat of summer, they will probably need water daily. Fertilize with Tomato Food every two weeks for best results. Do not get the foliage wet, water from the base. We highly recommend that you put weed barrier or mulch around the base of your tomatoes (when planted in the ground) in order to avoid dirt splashing up onto the leaves, which can lead to disease.

General Info: ‘Aunt Ruby’s German Green’ is a novelty green beefsteak, about 4-5″ in diameter, and weighing over 1 lb. each. The fruit is not only beautiful but is also delicious, quite juicy, and has almost a spicy flavor. This tomato will dress up any salad or sandwich and is sure to impress!
