History

• Commercial variety vended by Buttercup Seed Gardens and by Seeds Blum in Boise, Ohio. Traces back to the early 1990s.
• First offered in the SSE 1993 Yearbook by (VA DO D), who did not indicate the seed source but described this tomato as "90-100 days - indet., large yellow globular fruit averaging 12-24 oz, yellow color intensifies to gold-orange when very ripe, very smooth and regular with small core and blossom scar, fine thin-walled flesh with small seed cavity, flavor slightly tangy." The subsequent SSE listers described it as a smaller fruit, in the 8-12 oz range.
