History

  • A family heirloom from Claude Brown, Pikeville, Kentucky.
  • Introduced in Seed Savers 1989 Yearbook by Donald Sparks of Pikeville, Kentucky (KY SP D), who obtained the seed from Claude Brown in 1987.
  • In the early 2010s the name morphed into Claude Brown's Yellow Giant, when Terry Lynne Tassone of Wadsworth, Ohio (OH TA T) listed it in the SSE Yearbook as Claude Brown's Yellow Giant (seeds from SMAC). So now this tomato is offered by both names.
