This legendary tomato is as large as a beefsteak, but bright green which progresses from the shoulders, with a hint of pale yellow and pink on the blossom end. It contains few seeds and has a sweet but slightly spicy flavor. It has won several Taste Tests and is usually listed in the top 10 tomatoes for many people.

 

First introduced in the SSE 1993 Yearbook by Bill Minkey. Bill received the seed from Nita Hofstrom of Clinton, Wisconsin, whose aunt, Ruby Arnold of Greeneville, TN, grew it for years. The seed originally came from Ruby Arnold's German immigrant grandfather, and Ruby simply called it 'German Green' tomato.
