"HEIRLOOM. What an astonishing feast for the eyes! The flesh inside is marbled with red in the bottom half of the fruit. It has a big, lumpy beefsteak shape with a very mild and sweet flavor. It's a knockout on a platter with slices of our other tomato varieties. The large fruits (often 22 ounces) are borne on tall plants. Indeterminate. Ready to harvest in 85 days. Sorry, state laws prohibit shipping plants to Alaska, Hawaii, Arizona, California, Nevada. "

Low yield, superb taste,

"Here is one of the very few yellow tomatoes that are truly worth growing when it comes to flavor. It is outstanding to say the least. These are big, big tomatoes in addition to being so flavorful. I did not get a lot, and they took a little while to mature and ripen but they did produce enough to grow again. Heck, the flavor and size are so good I'd grow again if I only got half the yield. I have grown many different varieties and this is a favorite."

"I had mixed results with this tomato. Two years ago I started from seed and was soooooo pleased with the results. Large, beautiful fruits that have a great flavor. Yield was not huge, I think I got roughly 6 tomatos during the season.
Last year, I got this in plant form with the heirloom collection and the fruits did not ripen before the season ended."

"This is one of those varieties that you can't pass up. I first found this when I was having a BIG TOMATO contest. I wanted something that would give me the largest fruit possible and found a packet of Burpee's Big Rainbow at my local garden center. I decided to give it a try and I have been growing it every year since.
One thing to keep in mind is that you need to get them consistent water and stake them. I will tell you that they don't yield a huge number of fruits but they are so large that it makes up for it."
