Old German

25 Seeds Per Packet

The Old German Tomato is a stunning heirloom variety known for its large, multi-colored fruits and sweet, complex flavor. The tomatoes typically weigh 1–2 pounds and have a unique, bi-colored appearance with hues of yellow, red, and orange. The flesh is meaty and juicy, with a rich, sweet flavor that is less acidic, making it perfect for slicing, sandwiches, or fresh eating.

Indeterminate plants grow to 6–7 feet tall, producing a steady yield of these vibrant, flavorful tomatoes throughout the growing season. These plants thrive in full sun and need consistent moisture to produce the best quality fruit. Staking or caging is recommended to support the large fruit load.
