History

• Discovered, stabilized and named by Darrel Jones of Hamilton, Alabama. In his 2004 garden he found this offtype among his Argentina plants that he grew from seed sent by 'Brainsander'. One of the three was a large orange fruited tomato with good flavor and excellent production. The plants were just a bit variable the first couple of years indicating a cross, but by F5 generation (2008) it was stable.
• First offered in the Seed Savers 2011 Yearbook by Susan Anderson of Elgin, Texas (TX AN S), who got the seed from Darrel Jones, Alabama.
