History
- An off-type, grown from the seed labelled Green Pineapple which did not grow true and produced ivory and golden tomatoes. The seed was sent to Tatiana Kouchnareva (B.C KO T) by David Lemasters of Pennsylvania in 2008. It was likely a cross of Green Pineapple with another white or yellow tomato, as it continued to segregate and produced yellow, white, and green fruits.
- It may still not be 100% stable, so please report your results if you are growing this variant.
