History
- These tomatoes were grown in Columbus, Ohio by Merrill Schulz for half a century. Each year he selected the largest tomatoes to save seed from. Upon his death in 2010 at the age of ninety his last seed harvest was sent to Gary Ibsen of TomatoFest by Dr. Carey Horda, a good friend of Mr. Schulz, in Merrill's honor.
