VEGETABLES / TOMATO
ORANGE-YELLOW
Small, round, yellow, cherry tomato. Fruit average 0.7" in diameter, 0.1 oz. Very sweet, medium-high acidity, rich flavor. Winner of 2015 Seed Savers tomato tasting event. Early maturity. Indeterminate; regular leaves; inserted flower stigmas. Previously distributed by SSE under the incorrect name 'Igleheart Yellow German Cocktail.' Donated to SSE by James Parrient, who obtained it from Diane Igleheart of Evansville, IN. This variety was originally from her father-in-law's Italian gardener who grew the tomatoes at the Igleheart family home in Greenwich, CT circa 1960. Diane saves seed most years, but does have plants volunteer in her garden. She also noted, "I tell people to take a tomato from the cocktail tray, push it in their ground and the next year they will have a plant." SSE Accession # 124546
