indet., regular leaf plants produce lots of blunt red hearts in 10-16 oz range. Some fruits are not heart-shaped, but not beefsteaks either, I would call them 'blocky'. Fruits have meaty interior with small seed cavities and very few seeds. This variety is too juicy for a paste tomato, but it is excellent as a slicer, as it has outstanding sweet/tart balanced flavor.

One of the highlights of the 2007 growing season! This variety astounded me with its excellent production of huge tomatoes throughout the season. Despite its name, this variety is not a paste tomato although it is meaty enough to use in sauces. The fruit are consistently large averaging 2-3 lbs. and the meaty slices are excellent for tomato sandwiches. (One slice more than covers a slice of bread.) An excellent variety! Indeterminate, regular leaf foliage. (80 days from transplant).

History

  • Family heirloom from Carol Chyko's family in Hazleton, Pennsylvania.
  • First introduced in Seed Savers 1988 Yearbook by Bill Ellis of Conyngham, Pennsylvania (PA EL B), who received the seed from Carol Chyko. Bill described it as
"100 days, huge indet. vine, shy to set fruit in hot weather, needs cool nights, blocky fruits to 3 lbs, ripen orange-red, partially hollow inside, used for sauce or paste, extraordinary sweet but quite prone to rotting on vine, O.S. Carol Chyko of Hazleton, PA, her family's heirloom."
