Japanese

Red beefsteak tomato averaging 3.5" width, 0.7 lbs.; fruit born singly or in bunches of up to 3. Good yield. Average eating qualities. Indeterminate; regular leaf. Donated to SSE by Kathy Megar-Kestner who acquired it from her neighbor, Mrs. McCormick. McCormick's grandfather, James Burke McCormick, received the seeds in the 1940s from a U.S. soldier returning home from serving near Japan. The soldier was hitch-hiking to Fort Campbell in KY and gave Mr. McCormick some seeds as a thank you for the ride. SSE Accession # 125889
