Hagan Little Yellow

Yellow cherry tomato. Fruit are slightly flattened. Very sweet; medium-low acid. Average skin thickness; juicy. Indeterminate, regular leaves. Early maturing. Average productivity when grown in 2013 at Heritage Farm. This family heirloom variety was donated to SSE in 2002 by Bernice (Hagan) Mobley of Athens, Alabama who advised: "They are delicious. Keep and bowl on your counter." Bernice explained that her parents, Jonathan & Malissa Hagan of Stella, TN, first grew the variety in 1893 as newlyweds. After Malissa passed away in 1960, the family thought the tomato was lost. But then in 1961, Bernice and her sister found a can of seeds in their parent's pantry which had been harvested in 1943. Bernice planted them each year thereafter, until her own death in 2007. SSE Accession # 127401
